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 in the absence of local national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z233.1 and in Canada B149.2 Propane Storage and Handling Code (latest edition).
REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL and PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Before working on the refrigerator, shut off the gas supply. Disconnect the gas supply
line at the rear of the refrigerator. Always use a back-up wrench when loosening and
tightening this connection. Cap the gas supply line and remove the refrigerator.
Replacement is the reverse of removal. Check all connections for gas leaks.
Refer to Chapter 2 - Installation
To keep your refrigerator operating effectively and safely, periodic inspection and
cleaning of several components is recommended once or twice a year, sometimes more
often depending on the environment.
 It's important to keep the area at the back of the refrigerator clean. Clean the coils
on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft bristled brush to dust off
the coils.
Note: The following maintenance is required at least once
or twice a year at least.
 Check all connectors in the complete refrigerator LP gas system for gas leaks.
The LP gas supply must be turned on. Apply a non-corrosive bubble solution
to all LP connections. The appearance of bubbles indicates a leak and should
be repaired immediately by a qualified serviceman.
