TESTING LP GAS SAFETY SHUT OFF

The gas safety shut off must be tested after the

refrigerator is connected to LP gas supply.

TO TEST THE GAS SAFETY SHUT OFF, FOLLOW THESE

STEPS:

Turn on the refrigerator and switch to GAS mode.

Check that the GAS indicator dot is illuminated and

the gas ﬂame is lit.

Close the manual gas shut off valve at the back of

the refrigerator.

Wait for approx. 6-7 minutes. The message

“LP” is displayed (ﬂashing).

Remove the protection cover.

Open the manual gas shut off valve. (Do not change

any button positions on the control panel.)

Apply a non corrosive commercial bubble solution

to the burner jet oriﬁce. No bubbles should appear at

the opening of the burner jet oriﬁce. The presence of

bubbles indicates a defective gas safety shut off, and

service is required.

If no bubbles were present at the burner jet oriﬁce,

rinse it with fresh water. Be careful not to damage

the burner jet oriﬁce.

Put back the cover.

Switch the refrigerator OFF and back ON again.

Normal operation of the burner should return.

Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of 5

minutes.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

RM1350IM, RM1350MIM, RM1350WIM & RM1350WID

The water supply system must have a minimum pressure of

15 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). A 1/4” diameter water

line to the water valve should be used at the rear of the refrig-

erator. The water line must have a manual shutoff valve placed

where it is easily accessible.

CONNECTIONS

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 a commercial non corrosive bubble

solution.

Always use a back up wrench when loosening and

tightening connections.

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator

to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water

column.

When testing the gas supply system at test pressures:

> 1/2 psi - the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

≤ 1/2 psi - the appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-

off valve.

For detailed instructions on the installation and connection to

the gas supply, please contact your dealer or distributor.

TO REMOVE THE REFRIGERATOR, FOLLOW THESE

STEPS:

Cap the gas supply line.

Loosen the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the

enclosure.

Slide the refrigerator out of the compartment.

When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing

strips are properly positioned. Check all connections for gas

leaks. Replacement is the reverse of removal.

Before removing the refrigerator:

Verify that the AC voltage and DC voltage leads are

disconnected.

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 tighten-

ing connections.
