IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is designed for storage of foods and
storage of frozen foods and making ice.
The lower side vent is fitted with a panel which provides an
adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the
burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be
centered on the back of the refrigerator.
The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified by A.G.A. under ANSI
for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle and
are approved by the Canadian Gas Association.
The certifications are, however, contingent on the
installation being made in accordance with the following
instructions as applicable.
In the U.S.A., the installation must conform with:
1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition)
2. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI Al
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-(latest edition)
when installed if an external alternating current electrical
source is utilized.
4. Any applicable local code.
In Canada, the installation must conform with:
1. Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes
2.
Current CSA Standard Z 240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED REC-
REATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUSING
3. Any applicable local code
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with
the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C 22 Parts 1 and 2.
Z21 .19
Refrigerator Standard
19.2-(latest
edition).
3. CERTIFIED INSTALLATION
Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower
side vent.
For certified vent system kits, see Section B.
For further information, contact your dealer or distributor.
4. METHOD OF INSTALLATION
The method of installation is shown in FIG. 1. It is essential
that all maximum or minimum dimensions are strictly maintained as the performanceof the refrigerator is dependent on
adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator.
NOTE: The upper vent should be
centered over the condenser coil
at the
back
of the refrigerator.

2. VENTILATION
The installation shall be made in such a manner as to
separatethecombustion system from the living
mobile home or recreational vehicle. Louveropeningsforair
supply or for venting of combustion products shall have a
minimum dimension of not less than
Proper installation requires one fresh air intake and one
upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this
instruction manual have been certified for use with the
refrigerator model listed in the Table. For “Certified Vent
System Kits” see Section B. The ventilation kits must be
installed and used without modification. An opening toward
theoutsideatfloor level in the refrigeratorcompartment must
be provided forventilation of heavier-than-air fuel gases. The
lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with proper
size openings. The flow of combustion and ventilation air
must not be obstructed.

7.INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN
ENCLOSURE
NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting.
Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or
wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least
the full width and depth of the appliance.
Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling
can trap heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator. Any
space between the top and sides of the refrigerator should
be blocked for maximum refrigerator performance.
CONDENSATE WATER DRAIN HOSE: A 3/4" hole must
be drilled through the flooring in the opening of the base
plate on the rear of refrigerator (see FIG. 5D). The installer
must make sure that the hose does not kink when run
through the floor. Seal around the hose where it goes
through the hole. If a longer hose is required, follow the
illustration shown below:
OPTION A:
1) Remove black water check valve from hose.
2) Add additional hose
3) Reinstall black water check valve
A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening of
the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be
anchored to the wood strip with screws. See FIG. 2.
The dimensions shown in FIG. 3 will give you adequate
space for service and proper installation.
NOTE: If the door is hinged and it needs be changed to the
opposite side, it must be done before the refrigerator is
installed in the enclosure. See Step. 13.
FIG. 4
OPTION B:
1) Cut drain hose at location shown below.
2) Install new drain hose between pieces cut.
NOTE: Black water check valve must be reinstalled to
ensure proper refrigerator operation. DO NOT KINK HOSE.
OPTION C:
In vehicles where routing the drain hose through the floor
is not possible, a metal clip is available. The clip is used to
drain water out through the side vent.

Part No. 3106559.002 Clip for metal side vent (Qty. 50)
Part No. 3106559.010 Clip for metal side vent (Single)
INSTALLATION: The refrigerator must be installed in a
substantial enclosure and must be level. When installing
the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas within the recess
in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed. Make
sure that there is a complete seal between the front frame
of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the
enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear
surface of the front frame for this purpose. Also apply a
sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure and
apply a second sealing strip to the bottom of the trim strip
on the front base as shown in FIG. 4. The sealing should
provide complete isolation of the appliance's combustion
system from the vehicle interior.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied
to the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in
place.
The refrigerator is secured in the enclosure with six screws.
They must be installed in the following order:
a. First: Two screws are installed in front deco-
ration strip and through the front base.
1) The front strip is to be installed after the refrigerator is set into the alcove. The strip is shipped
as a loose part.
2) Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the
bottom hinge plate as shown in FIG. 5. The
hinge plate can be on the right or left side
depending on the door swing.
FIG. 5
4
3)When the front strip is in place, install one screw
through the hinge and into the floor. The second
screw is installed with a washer on the opposite
side. (See FIG. 5A)
FIG. 5A
b.Second: Install the two screws in the top
frame.
1)The top decoration panel must be removed
from the refrigerator before the screws can be
installed. Open refrigerator door and gently
push the tabs out of the hole in the hinge with flat
blade screwdriver. See FIG. 5B.
2)Carefully tilt the top decoration panel and lift up
to remove from top frame. See FIG. 5B.
FIG. 5B
4)Replace the top decoration panel. Be careful
not to pinch the wires. Make sure the tabs snap
back into the holes in the hinge plate.
C.Third: Two screws installed as shown in
rear base. See FIG. 5D.

Failure to follow the sequence in securing the refrigerator
in the enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and
cabinet.
8.GAS CONNECTION
Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual
gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF
5/8" – 18) male flare connection. All completed connections
should be checked for leaks with a noncorrosive leak
detector. (See FIG. 6 – Gas tubing may have a different
orientation than shown).
3)Install the second two screws in the top frame
as shown in FIG. 5C.
FIG. 5C
! WARNING
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 13-1/2
inches water column (static) no load.
LP GAS
CYLINDER
When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig, the refrigerator and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system.
