period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned
and the door left ajar. Use the travel catch to hold in this
position. The ice tray should also be dried and kept out-
side the cabinet.

erator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether
or the like.

tion (less than 2 weight % of the coolant).
