IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
l Before you use your absorption freezer, please read this instruction manual carefully.
l NEVER install gas appliances in unventilated (air tight) structures or sleeping rooms. Gas freezers
consume air (oxygen) when operated on gas power. When used in any inside area, provide a fresh air
opening of at least 3 square inches (20mm). Please note that an exterior flue is not required with "vent-
less" propane appliances like gas freezers, but you may choose to run an insulated 2 inch (min) inside
diameter vent pipe through the roof (straight up is best) or the wall (avoid 90 degree bends with 45's
spaced more than two feet apart). It is recommended that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in the
same room as the gas freezer.
l NEVER install a gas appliance on carpeting or against a flammable wall.
l NEVER leave your gas appliances running unattended while on vacation.
l NEVER run the electrical power and gas power at the same time. Backup electrical power 230 volt AC
operation is STANDARD equipment on the gas fridge. Should you ever run out of gas, it's very handy.
Just be certain to never run both heaters at the same time. Serious damage will result to the cooling unit
if you do.
l Never unplug your absorption freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the wall outlet.
l Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
l Unplug your absorption freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
l The power supply must be properly grounded.
