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 full width and depth of the appliance. 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.

GAS CONNECTION Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual gas 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 soapy water. 2 WARNING DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks. FIG. 9 1 Install the two screws in the top frame, the holes are accessible from beneath. After the two screws have been installed, seal the holes in the top frame with a piece of tape. Replace the top decoration panel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 120 Volts AC Connection The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended that the receptacle be located to the left side of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear) and approximately 6 inches from the floor (see FIG. 11).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A D C IMPORTANCE OF LEVELING A REFRIGERATOR In an absorption refrigerator 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 a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their crispness. The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE 1. CARTRIDGE HEATER 3. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE The heat necessary for the operation of an absorption cooling unit is supplied by an electric heater mounted in a pocket of the boiler system. Model RM 2552 is equipped with one electric heater for 120 volt AC. Model RM 2553 is equipped with two electrical heaters, one for 120 volt AC and one for 12 volt DC.

column. The correct place to take the LP gas pressure is at the test port just ahead of the burner jet. (See FIG. 12). D. Inspect the flue baffle. It should be reasonably clean and free of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning of the burner. The flue and burner both require cleaning in the following manner: 1. Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 120 volt AC outlet. (See FIG. 11). 2. Disconnect or shut off the 12 volt power to the refrigerator. 3. Turn manual shutoff valve to OFF.

ODOR FROM FUMES CAUSES AND REMEDIES A. B. The flame touches side of the boiler due to dislocation of the burner. Relocate. Burner dislocation may also cause smoke and discoloring of walls and ceiling. Burner damaged. Replace. All the above instructions are to be followed closely. The refrigerator is quality-guaranteed. However, we are not responsible for any failures caused by improper adjustments and unfavorable installation conditions. Contact service point or distributor service dept. for assistance.
