nance of this refrigerator can cause personal injury,
property damage, or both.
- Obey the instructions in this manual to install the intake
and exhaust vents.
- Do not install the refrigerator directly on carpet. Put the
refrigerator on a metal or wood panel that extends the full
width and depth of the refrigerator enclosure.
- Do not allow anything to touch the refrigerator cooling
system.
- Propane gas can ignite and cause an explosion that can
result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Do
not smoke or create sparks. Do not use an open flame to
examine the propane gas supply line for leaks. Always
use two wrenches to tighten or loosen the propane gas
supply line connections.

codes. See the “Certification and Code Requirements”
section of this manual.

conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical
shorts and in some cases, fire.
