Gas Fridge shares helpful tips for setting up your gas refrigerator

When you purchase your gas refrigerator, it is recommended that you hire a licensed technician to safely and expertly set up your gas connections and install your appliance. Gas Fridge wants you to be aware of the general steps for safe installation. In the event you smell gas, immediately open all doors and windows. Do not operate electrical switches. Extinguish all open flames. Immediately call your gas service provider.

Connecting to your gas supply
All EZ Freeze Propane Gas Refrigerators are equipped with a fitting that does not need tape, liquid or paste sealers. A flex line is used to connect the unit to your gas supply. It's recommended that you make your connection to an On/Off valve. Make sure the flex line is long enough to give you the room to move the unit away from the wall. By doing this, you will have enough line to allow access to the rear of the unit for service.
   
Testing for Leaks
ALL connections must be tested for leaks prior to ignition. After ignition, test all connections again for leaks. You can use the traditional soapy water solution to test for leaks or professional solutions like "Gas Leak Detector" liquids. Apply the solution using a soft bristle brush and inspect the connections for bubbles.
   
Gas Pressure
All EZ Freeze Propane Refrigerators are designed to operate from an LP gas supply with 11" W.C. (Water Column) gas pressure. Your gas supplier will be able to check the pressure at the time of installation or you can check it yourself with a Manometer.
   
Leveling
Absorption type propane gas refrigerators all operate with the use of gravity. The angle of the tubing on the unit will determine the flow rate of the liquids. To ensure the best efficiency, it is essential that the unit be level to get an accurate flow rate.
   
Ventilation
Air ventilation (circulation) is very important - the larger the unit, the more circulation is required. Situate your refrigerator so that there is plenty of air circulation above and behind the unit. By providing plenty of air circulation you will prevent excessive heat buildup, allow for efficient refrigerator performance, and prevent a draft which could cause the burner to blow out.

Gas-Fridge Answers “How ‘green’ is propane?”

If you are looking for a fuel that will provide not only immediate heat, but also steady, clean, efficient heat at an affordable price, look no further than propane. It is considered a "green" energy source, and propane can help homeowners cut emissions and protect the environment, all while enjoying a substantial savings over other fuel sources. For those of you dedicated to protecting and preserving our environment, Gas-Fridge is glad to let you know that propane is the clear choice for a number of reasons.

Here are some facts that you might not know about propane:

• Propane is a significant part of the government and industry’s investment in technology.

• Clean-burning propane heats homes, dries clothes, keeps your food cold, powers equipment, and is used as fuel for vehicles.

• Propane is called autogas when it is used as a vehicle fuel.

• Builders and contractors install propane appliances in their new energy efficient homes which saves buyers money, and also provides tax incentives.

• Switching to propane and reducing your electricity usage can make a powerful difference for our environment and lower your monthly utility bill.

• Propane gives off less than half as many greenhouse gas emissions as using an equivalent amount of electricity generated from the U.S. grid.

Propane is one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuels and leaves us with more breathable air. From production to output, propane is better on the environment. We highly recommend it to our clients for its energy efficiency, in addition to the fact that you still have power during difficult weather conditions in winter.

So for true green efficiency, consider propane as your fuel of choice. Not only does it keep our air cleaner, it is also safer in case of a spill since it is a gas, not a liquid that can soak into the ground and potentially contaminate the groundwater like gasoline or fuel oil can.
