Cleaning the ue and burner
Inspect the ue bafe. It should be reasonably clean and free
of soot. Heavy soot formation indicates improper functioning
of the burner.
To clean the ue and burner, follow these steps:
Unplug the refrigerator power cord from the 120V
AC outlet.
Disconnect/shut off the 12V DC power to the refrig-
erator.
Turn the manual shutoff valve to OFF.
In turn, remove the:
- Cover from the burner housing.
- Burner mounting screw and burner assembly.
- Wire and ue bafe from the top of ue tube.
Using a ue brush, clean the ue from the top.
Blowing compressed air into the ue will not prop-
erly clean soot and scale out of the ue tube.
Replace the ue bafe.
Clean the burner tube with a brush. Blow out the
burner with compressed air.
Before removing the burner jet:
Clean burner area of soot and scale that fell out of
ue tube.
Remove the burner jet.
Soak the jet in wood alcohol and blow it out with
compressed air.
Reinstall and tighten the burner jet.

Carefully reinstall the burner. Make sure the end of
the burner ts into the slot on the burner bracket,
that the slots are centered under the ue tube and
that the thermocouple is positioned properly (tip of
thermocouple extends over two slots of the burner).
Check the burner ame for proper appearance. The
ame should be light blue. If it has a yellow tip, it
means that it is burning incorrectly.
Check the electrode for proper location and gap.
Turn on the manual gas shutoff valve. Check all
ttings for leaks with soapy water.
Connect the 120V power cord to the outlet.
Reconnect/turn on the 12V DC power.
Check the LP gas safety shutoff.
