U G P 2 Chapter 1 0 Installation For best performance at high ambient temperatures, there must be free air circulation over the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator. Ensure that there is a free air space above the refrigerator and that the flue (chimney) on top of the cabinet is not covered in any way. Do not place the refrigerator in a space where air circulation is restricted. Follow “clearance” instructions.
U G P 1 0 Clearances Minimum clearances to combustible materials are: Top – 6” Sides – 2” Rear – 0” with left hand side rear sheild mounted as shown in Figures. 1, 2 & 3. 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.
U G P 1 0 Gas Connection Hook-up to the gas supply line: 3/8” SAE (UNF 5/8” - 18) male flare connection. A backup wrench must be used when tightening gas supply fitting. All completed connections should be checked for leaks with a non-corrosive leak detector and/or soap and water for a bubble check..
U G P 3 Chapter 1 0 General Operating Instructions Importance of Leveling a Refrigerator The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position in both directions. In an absorption refrigeration system, ammonia is liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the Evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.
U G P 1 0 4. Adjust the thermostat knob to desired temperature setting after 4 to 8 hours of operation. “Shut Down” Procedure 1. Turn knob C to Gas “Off” position. Note: If using CO-Monitor, the monitor must be hooked up and be reset with the battery installed for the flame to stay on – Refer to Chapter 6 CONTROLS – See Fig 5.
U G P 1 0 The setting of the thermostat is critical and recommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the cooling fins (approx 38° Freinhight or 3° Celcius) . Adjust the thermostat knob closer to “Max” (clockwise) when the ambient temperature rises. How To Use The Refrigerator FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, this is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage.
U G P 1 0 Inside the refrigerator compartment, the defrost water runs from a collector channel to a drip tray/cup at the rear of the refrigerator where it normally evaporates. If heavy frost has built up on the cooling fins creating a lot of defrost water, Beware your water reservior may overflow, we suggest you inspect reservoir before/after cycle.
U G P 4 Chapter 1 0 Maintenance & Service The user should be aware of service that must be done on a regular schedule to keep the refrigerator operating properly. Installation must be by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with local codes or must comply with Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2 (latest edition) REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL Before working on the refrigerator, shut off the gas supply. Disconnect the gas supply line at the rear of the refrigerator.
U G P 1 0 to all LP connections. The appearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should be repaired immediately by a qualified serviceman. WARNING – DO NOT USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS Check burner flame for proper appearance. The flame should be light blue with no yellow at the tip. See figure #6 Fig# 6 • • The LP gas pressure should be checked and the main regulator readjusted if pressure is incorrect. The correct operating pressure is 11” W.C. (water column).
U G P 1 0 compressed air into the flue should clean out soot and scale. Replace the flue baffle. o Clean burner tube with compressed air, check for fluff or spider webs. o Before removing burner orifice, clean burner area of any soot, scale or dirt .

U G P 8 Chapter 1 0 Temperature Controls Note: Maximum setting is override; therefore the thermostat function is not operational at this setting. This setting is usually only required during very hot and humid days. COOL DOWN PERIOD To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.
U G P 1 0 Crispers The crisper is located under the bottom refrigerator shelf and for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clean water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing. Food Storage Ideas FRESH FOOD STORAGE • The fresh food compartment should be kept between 38° F and 40° F (3.3° C and 4.4° C) with an optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3°C).
U G P 1 0 • Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing. • Do not refreeze meat that has thawed. LOADING THE FREEZER • Avoid adding too much warm food into the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods. • Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
