General Operating Instructions
Importance of Leveling a Refrigerator
The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position in both directions. In an absorption refrigeration 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 circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.
When starting this refrigerator, the cooling cycle may require 6 to 8 hours of running time to begin cooling before the cooling unit is fully operational, you can then begin slowly loading the compartment.
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically sloped to provide a continuous movement of liquid ammonia, flowing downward by gravity through this section. If the refrigerator is operated when not level, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a loss of cooling. Warranty will not cover recharge/rebuild if caused by not running the fridge level.
This refrigerator operates LP Gas (Propane), 110V (Electricity) and 12V DC
The power selector has 5 positions
– Main supply AC (110V) – DC 12v – Gas – Switch off (2 positions)

Gas Operation
“Start Up” Procedure
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.

1. Make sure that all valves between the gas container and the refrigerator are open.
2. Turn selector switch (A) to gas.
3. Depress the safety device control (D) and hold it down while immediately depressing the electronic igniter button (B)
4. Once the flame indicator (C) starts to move into the green, release the electronic igniter button (B) but continue to keep the safety device control (D) depressed for a further 10-15 seconds.
5. Release the safety device control (D) and again check to see that the flame is alight, making sure the needle is in the green area of the flame indicator.
6. Adjust the thermostat knob (E) to desired temperature setting and allow for 6 to 8 hours of operation to achieve desired temperature.

Shut Down Procedure – LP Gas

1. To terminate gas operation, turn selector switch (A) to either OFF or AC (110V) 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. The ice tray should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.

110V Operation

1. Make sure that the gas valve is turned off at the tank.
2. Ensure the electrical cord is plugged into a grounded outlet
3. Turn the selector switch (A) to AC (110V) position.
4. Adjust the thermostat knob (E) to desired temperature setting and allow for 6 to 8 hours of operation to achieve desired temperature.

12V DC Operation
Set the power selector knob (A) to DC mode. See right fig. The DC mode is only designed to be used when driving, otherwise your battery will be discharged within a few hours! On 12V DC operation the fridge will only maintain temperature already achieved. .

1. If 110 Volts or LP gas is not available, the refrigerator can work with DC12V (3-Way models only).
2. Make sure that you turn the main power switch (A) to AC (110V) position. This will allow the heating element to work, you can then connect the 12VDC power cord (not supplied) to the terminal block located at the upper right side of the refrigerator, while facing the back.
3. DC operation is not as efficient as LP Gas or AC operation. DC electric should not be used to initially cool the refrigerator. Only use DC when the other modes are unavailable (for example; while in transit). When you start to use AC or gas supply, make sure that you disconnect the DC power input.
4. To terminate any power mode, gas, AC or DC, turn the knob (A) to either of two OFF positions

Battery replacement for electronic spark ignition
When the battery ignition fails to spark, you need to replace the battery, replacement step as follows

1. Hold and pull down the “A” as illustrated in pic, take out the battery box.
2. Replace the old AAA battery “B” with new one. Note: 7#1.5V battery need to be used and the red wire must connect to the “+” side of the battery.

CONTROLS – See Fig. #1 for description of controls
Figure #1

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 when operating on either gas or 110V. Knob D also incorporates a safety device which automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The electronic igniter discharges sparks onto the burner when the button is pushed.

1. “DEF” Defrost setting on the Gas/Electric Thermostat: In gas operation, the thermostat closes its main valve and the burner runs continuously at the bypass rate or pilot flame. (turn fully counter clockwise), and in 110V operation the element will cycle off, until cooling is again required.
2. “MAX” Setting of the Thermostat: In gas operation, the thermostat allows the burner to remain on high flame continuously. (turn clockwise), and in 110V operation the element will stay on until the desired temperature is reached inside the fridge.
3. The thermostat can be adjusted between “Max” and “Warm” to obtain the desired fridge temperature. When the thermostat reaches the set temperature, it will reduce the burner back to bypass operation or shut the element off in 110V operation.
4. In DC operation the fridge will only maintain the temperature that’s already been achieved. There is no thermostatic function.
   When operating on 110V or LP gas, the setting of the thermostat is critical and recommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the cooling fins (approx. 38º Fahrenheit or 3º Celsius). Adjust the thermostat knob closer to “Max” (clockwise) when the ambient temperature rises.

How to Use the Refrigerator
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, this is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. The coldest areas in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when placing different types of food in the refrigerator.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE 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. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.
Defrosting
Frost will gradually accumulate inside the refrigerator and freezer surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects the refrigerator performance. Check the formation of frost every week and when it exceeds ½” thick, defrost the refrigerator.
Shut off and empty the refrigerator, leaving the fridge and the freezer doors open. Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it in the freezer compartment.

| DO NOT USE A HOT AIR BLOWER, PERMANENT DAMAGE COULD RESULT. DO NOT USE A KNIFE, ICE PICK, OR ANY OTHER SHARP TOOLS TO REMOVE FROST FROM THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT.|
---|---|---

FRIDGE SECTION
Inside the refrigerator compartment, the defrost water drips into a catch tray and moves to the back of the fridge via a small tube. If heavy frost has built up on the cooling fins creating a lot of defrost water, your water reservoir may overflow, we suggest you inspect reservoir before/after cycle.
FREEZER SECTION
This area must be wiped down with cloths to remove water after defrosting; there is no catch tray for this compartment
When all frost is melted in the freezer compartment & interior of the refrigerator it should be wiped up with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set the thermostat to its normal position.
Cleaning
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use a lukewarm water and weak soda solution. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice trays and shelves.
Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts as the protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator clean. Dishwasher detergent is recommended

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 must comply with Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2

REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL
Before working on the refrigerator, shut off the gas supply. Disconnect the gas supply line at the rear of the refrigerator. Always use a backup wrench when loosening and tightening this connection. Disconnect fridge from 110V source.
Warning: To avoid electrical shock always unplug your fridge before cleaning.
Ignoring this may result in injury.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Before working on refrigerator, shut off the gas supply. Disconnect the gas line at the rear of the refrigerator. Always use a backup wrench when loosening and tightening this connection.
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 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, more often based upon usage/environment.

• 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.

WARNING – DO NOT USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUE
WARNING: Carbon Monoxide can be hazardous to your health. Gas appliances may emit excessive Carbon Monoxide if the refrigerator’s burner, burner orifice, and the flue tube are not regularly cleaned. To prevent Carbon Monoxide, the burner, burner orifice, and the cooling system’s flue tube must be cleaned at least once a year and after all prolonged (seasonal) shut-down periods. Refer to the following cleaning procedures, or contact a qualified installer, your dealer.

1. Before cleaning, cover the burner to protect it from dirt.
2. Remove the spiral flue baffle from the flue tube.
3. Using a stiff brush or fine emery cloth, clean the spiral flue baffle of debris.
4. Clean the inside of the flue tube with a flue brush. Inspect burner after cleaning.

Looking Inside

SHELF ADJUSTMENT
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food.
Food Storage Ideas
FRESH FOOD STORAGE

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 38° F and 40° F (3.3° C and 4.4° C) with an optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3°C).
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

MEAT

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

• The freezer compartment should be kept at 8.6°F (-13°C) at a 77°F (25°C) room ambient.
• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is slowly loaded to 2/3 full.

PACKAGING FOODS FOR FREEZING

• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminium foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.
• Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has thawed.

LOADING THE FREEZER

• Avoid adding too much warm food into the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and will raise the temperature of frozen foods.
• Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

Care and Cleaning
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
NOTES:
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the certification/serial plate.
