To reduce problems during summer season, (i.e.. weekend use), it is best to leave the fridge running on low
setting during the week. If shut down on a Sunday, spiders may seek the propane odor (mercaptin), and
create a restriction of the gas flow. This in turn will reduce/stop the operational efficiency of your absorption
fridge/freezers.
Note: Installation and service must be by licensed gas fitter in accordance with local
codes or must comply with Propane Installation Code.
