SECTION A. INSTALLATION 1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 3. CERTIFIED INSTALLATION This appliance is designed for storage of food and storage of frozen food and making ice. Certified installations require one upper side vent and one lower side vent. The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified by A.G.A. under ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator Standard for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Association.
FIG.1a 6. CLEARANCES Minimum clearances in inches to combustible materials are: G: Top 0" K: Side 0" L: Bottom 0" M: Rear 9/32" N: See NOTE P: See NOTE NOTE: Clearance "M" is between the rearmost part of the refrigerator and the wall behind the refrigerator. NOTE: Clearance "N" is the distance between the bottom of the lower vent to the top of upper side vent. For ventilation height, refer to Section A. Installation, Item 5. Ventilation Heights. See FIG. 2.
7. INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN ENCLOSURE NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least the full width and depth of the appliance. FIG. 3 RM 4223 Overall Dimensions Vent Type Height A Dual Metal (inches) Side Vents (mm) Dual Plastic (Inches) Side Vents (MM) Width B The dimensions shown in FIG.3 will give you adequate space for service and proper installation.
B. SECURING REFRIGERATOR IN ENCLOSURE 8. GAS CONNECTION Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF 5/8" - 18) male flare connection. Always use a backup wrench when connecting the gas supply line to the gas inlet fitting. All completed connections should be checked for leaks with a noncorrosive leak detector. (See FIG. 6 - Gas inlet fitting may have a different orientation than shown).
9. TESTING LP GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF IMPORTANT: To prevent the refrigerator from being left on and draining the battery when the vehicle's engine is not running and charging the battery, it is recommended that an automatic cutout relay be installed between the battery and the refrigerator toggle switch so that the refrigerator will not draw current when the vehicle ignition is switched off.
13. INSTALLATION OF DECORATIVE DOOR PANEL A. Remove the door. See Section 12. B. Remove the lower trim molding. (NOTE: Trim molding is not installed on new units in cartons) C. Fit the new panel in place and slide it up as far as possible. D. Fit the trim molding back in place. The door panel can easily be mounted. The dimensions of the panel must be: Height Width Thickness Weight 19-3/4" 17-27/32" Up to 1/8" 49 lbs. SECTION B.
2. CONTROLS FIG. 8 The gas and electric controls are located at the rear of the refrigerator and are accessible through the lower vents in the outside wall of the vehicle. See FIG. 8.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A.
If possible, start the refrigerator on gas or AC the day before it is to be used, to allow time for the interior to be cooled. It is then preferable to load the refrigerator with food which has been precooled in your household refrigerator, or in the market. ! WARNING Most LP gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle.
E. CLEANING Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean the interior of the refrigerator, use lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gaskets, 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.
C. Examination and Cleaning of Flue, Burner and Jet 7) Reassemble the components in the reverse order to that described above. Once or twice a year, look through the opening (see FIG. 9) in the burner box and examine the appearance of the burner flame which should be predominantly blue in color when the gas thermostat knob is set to its highest position. (Refer to FIG. 10). FIG. 11 If this is not the case, clean the flue, burner, jet, etc. (see section D and E). FIG. 9 E.
7) Reassemble the components in the reverse order to that described for removal, taking care to remake the gas connections soundly, and not forgetting to refit the flue baffle. 8) Reinstall the refrigerator in its recess. Connect the gas and electrical supplies, and check for gas leaks. Light the burner and check the appearance of the flame to ensure that it is predominantly blue (when the thermostat is at "HIGH"), then leave the refrigerator on "test" for at least an hour. E.
