PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Checking the connections
Check all connections in the LP gas system (at the
back of the refrigerator) for gas leaks. The LP gas
supply must be turned on.
Apply a non-corrosive bubble solution to all LP gas
connections. The appearance of bubbles indicates a
leak and should be repaired
immediately
by a quali-
fi ed serviceman.
DO NOT use a fl ame to check for gas leaks!
Checking the LP gas pressure
The LP gas pressure should be checked and the main regulator
readjusted if pressure is incorrect. The correct operating pres-
sure is 11 inches of water column. Measure the LP gas pressure
at the test port, just ahead of the burner jet.
