REFRIGERATOR OVERVIEW ABSORPTION COOLING SYSTEM AUTOMATIC ENERGY SELECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM 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. The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic energy selector control system.
OPERATING THE REFRIGERATOR STARTUP ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT Before starting the refrigerator: • Check that all the manual gas valves are in the ON position. • Make sure that a continuous 12V DC supply is available for the electronic control to function. The thermostat controls both the gas and electric operation. Thus it is not necessary to reset each time a different energy source is employed. The adjustable thermostat ranges from 1 - 5 where 5 signifies the coldest temperature setting.
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS POSITIONING THE SHELVES A general description of how to remove and replace the shelves. The number of shelves and positions may vary between refrigerator models.
PRODUCT CARE CLEANING DEFROSTING 1. Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/OFF button (OFF position). Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. Use lukewarm weak soda solution to clean the interior liner of the refrigerator.
