U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C 2 Chapter D V Installation of Appliance 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 do not place the refrigerator in a space where air circulation is restricted. Follow “clearance” instructions.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Clearances Minimum clearances to combustible materials are: Top – 6” Sides – 2” Rear – 1” as shown in Figures. 1, 2 & 3. Note: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V connections should be checked for leaks with a non-corrosive leak detector and/or soap and water for a bubble check. WARNING – DO NOT USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 12” water column and no less than 11” water column. (max setting) Make sure the refrigerator and any other high BTU appliances on your line are turned on when checking the gas pressure.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Venting Installation Instructions Before installing venting ensure you have followed the appliance installation instructions above which entails the gas hook up and the heat shield installation, this will allow you to install the venting and then proceed to start your fridge for use.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V P A R T S L I S T - S U P P L I E D ( parts required for installation are found at back of appliance) PARTS LOCATION/FUNCTION 1 x Fresh air intake pipe 1 x Flue exhaust pipe Inside Appliance – fresh air supply Inside Appliance – flue exhaust POLY PARTS BAG 1 x Tube of high temp red silicone To connect fresh air pipe and flue exhaust pipe to existing venting on appliance Fresh Air Vent Flue Exhaust Vent High Temp Silicone 7
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Fresh Air and Flue Exhaust Vent Location & Assembly If not already done so locate the fresh air vent, flue exhaust vent and poly bag containing high temp silicone from the back of the appliance and set aside. Decide where the fridge is to be located, it must be against an exterior wall keeping in mind that included with the fridge there is 19" of available venting from the exterior wall to the back of fridge.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Figure A Now prepare to drill holes in the interior wall for each the fresh air and flue exhaust tube. Depending on what’s on your outside wall you will have to make necessary adjustments in the drilling process. Take your adjustable drill bit or similar tool and set it to a diameter of approx 2.375” which is the outer diameter of the venting.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Note: Both the fresh air and flue exhaust vent can be cut down so that the fridge can be pushed as close as possible to the interior wall being mindful of the allowable clearances. The fridge comes with enough venting to vent your fridge 19” from the exterior wall to the back of your fridge. In high wind situations the shorter you make the vents, the increased chance the fridge will shut down.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V In order to determine what lengths you need to cut off measure from the inside wall to the back of your fridge. We suggest allowing 1” for clearance between the back of the fridge and the interior wall, therefore cut the fresh air and the flue exhaust vent with suggested tools allowing for a 1” to 2” protrusion or more through the interior wall into the room and a minimum 1” space from the exterior wall to the flange connection.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Figure C Sealing the fresh air and flue exhaust tubes at interior and exterior wall You now need to seal the inside and exterior spaces surrounding both the fresh air tube and flue exhaust. See figure D below on next page.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Figure D Venting installation is now complete, you now can move onto General Operating Instructions – Chapter 3 13
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C 3 Chapter D V General Operating Instructions Importance of Leveling a Refrigerator The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position in both directions.

U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V 2. Turn button G to Gas position, push button B repeatedly before you press in and hold D button, continue to hold in the D button and repeatedly press the B button until you see that the needle on the flame sensor C has moved from the white into the green area. The burner should now be “on”, if not repeat the lighting instructions above. Once in green zone for 15-30 seconds, release D button. 3.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Shut Down Procedure – Gas Operation 1. Turn selector knob G to the OFF position 2. Shut the gas off at the LP-gas supply cylinder when the appliance is not in use. 3. If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the doors left open. 110V Operation 1. Ensure the electrical cord is plugged into a grounded outlet 2.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V Thermostat The refrigerator cooling temperature is controlled by a combination thermostat that can be adjusted by turning knob E to different settings to maintain the desired refrigerator temperature. It also incorporates a safety device which automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The piezo electric igniter and/or the electronic ignition discharges sparks onto the burner when the appropriate button is pushed. See Figure #5 1.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT Quick freeze soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment which is at the bottom of the aluminum liner. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compartment. This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are pre-cooled in the refrigerator.
U N I Q U E U G P 6 C / 8 C / 1 0 C D V DO NOT USE A HOT AIR BLOWER, PERMANENT DAMAGE COULD RESULT , DO NOT USE A KNIFE, AN ICE PICK, OR ANY OTHER SHARP TOOLS TO REMOVE FROST FROM THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT. FRIDGE SECTION 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.
