Installation 
For best performance at high ambient temperatures, there must be free air 
circulation over the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator. 
Ensure that there is a free air space above the refrigerator and that the flue 
(chimney) on top of the cabinet is not covered in any way. Do not place the 
refrigerator in a space where air circulation is restricted. Follow “clearance” 
instructions. 
This free-standing refrigerator requires accessibility to the back for servicing the 
gas equipment, which can be obtained by using a certified Flexible Metal 
Connector to allow the refrigerator to be withdrawn without disrupting the gas 
supply. Where a flexible metal connector is used, it must comply with local 
authorities and in Canada with the provisions of the current Standard CAN 1-
6.10, Metal Connectors for Gas Appliances. However, if the Local Authorities 
require a rigid gas supply connector, the refrigerator should be located with 
sufficient space at the back for servicing or, if located against a wall a removable 
panel of a minimum size of 16” x 20” should be provided in the wall to allow 
access to the rear of the refrigerator. . If you purchased a CM (CO Monitor 
model) you must follow instructions that were included with your CO 
detector. 
Heat Shield 
The heat shield must be installed before operating the 
appliance. This is a CSA requirement. 
Un-wrap the heat shield (located inside the box along 
with the appliance). Mount heat shield with the 
screws (supplied) to the right side of the fridge.
