General Operating Instructions
Importance of Leveling a Refrigerator
The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position in both directions. In an
absorption refrigeration system, ammonia is liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the
top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the Evaporator (inside
the freezer section) and is exposed to circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the
ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.
When starting this refrigerator, the cooling cycle may require 6 to 8 hours of running time
to begin cooling before the cooling unit is fully operational, you can then begin slowly
loading the compartment.
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifically sloped to provide a continuous
movement of liquid ammonia, flowing downward by gravity through this section. If the
refrigerator is operated when not level, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the
evaporator tubing. This will slow the circulation of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in
severe cases, completely block it, resulting in a loss of cooling. Warranty will not cover
recharge/rebuild if caused by not running the fridge level.
This refrigerator operates LP Gas (Propane), 110V (Electricity)
and 12V DC
The power selector has 5 positions
Gas Operation
“Start Up” Procedure
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may
contain some air which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the
refrigerator. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.
1. Make sure that all valves between the gas container and the refrigerator are
open.
2. Turn selector switch (A) to gas.
3. Depress the safety device control (D) and hold it down while immediately
depressing the electronic igniter button (B)
4. Once the flame indicator (C) starts to move into the green, release the
electronic igniter button (B) but continue to keep the safety device control
(D) depressed for a further 10-15 seconds.
UNIQUE UGP 3
9
5. Release the safety device control (D) and again check to see that the flame is
alight, making sure the needle is in the green area of the flame indicator.
6. Adjust the thermostat knob (E) to desired temperature setting and allow for
6 to 8 hours of operation to achieve desired temperature.
Shut Down Procedure – LP Gas
1. To terminate gas operation, turn selector switch (A) to either OFF or AC (110V)
position.
2. Shut the gas off at the LP-gas supply cylinder when the appliance is not in use.
3. If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied,
defrosted, cleaned and the doors left open. The ice tray should also be dried and kept
outside the cabinet.
110V Operation
1. Make sure that the gas valve is turned off at the tank.
2. Ensure the electrical cord is plugged into a grounded outlet
3. Turn the selector switch (A) to AC (110V) position.
4. Adjust the thermostat knob (E) to desired temperature setting and allow for 6 to
8 hours of operation to achieve desired temperature.
12V DC Operation
Set the power selector knob (A) to DC mode. See right fig. The DC mode is only designed to be
used when driving, otherwise your battery will be discharged within a few hours!
On 12V DC operation the fridge will only maintain temperature already achieved. .
1. If 110 Volts or LP gas is not available, the refrigerator can work with DC12V
(3-Way models only).
2. Make sure that you turn the main power switch (A) to AC (110V) position.
This will allow the heating element to work, you can then connect the
12VDC power cord (not supplied) to the terminal block located at the upper
right side of the refrigerator, while facing the back.
3. DC operation is not as efficient as LP Gas or AC operation. DC electric
should not be used to initially cool the refrigerator. Only use DC when the
other modes are unavailable (for example; while in transit). When you start to
use AC or gas supply, make sure that you disconnect the DC power input.
UNIQUE UGP 3
10
4. To terminate any power mode, gas, AC or DC, turn the knob (A) to either of
two OFF positions
Battery replacement for electronic spark ignition
When the battery ignition fails to spark, you need to replace the battery, replacement step
as follows
1. Hold and pull down the “A” as illustrated in pic, take out the battery box.
2. Replace the old AAA battery “B” with new one. Note: 7#1.5V battery need to be used
and the red wire must connect to the “+” side of the battery.
CONTROLS – See Fig. #1 for description of controls
Figure #1
Thermostat
The refrigerator cooling temperature is controlled by a combination thermostat that can
be adjusted by turning knob E to different settings to maintain the desired refrigerator
temperature when operating on either gas or 110V. Knob D also incorporates a safety
device which automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out. The
electronic igniter discharges sparks onto the burner when the button is pushed.
UNIQUE UGP 3

1. “DEF” Defrost setting on the Gas/Electric Thermostat: In gas operation, the
thermostat closes its main valve and the burner runs continuously at the bypass rate or
pilot flame. (turn fully counter clockwise), and in 110V operation the element will cycle
off, until cooling is again required.
2. “MAX” Setting of the Thermostat: In gas operation, the thermostat allows the
burner to remain on high flame continuously. (turn clockwise), and in 110V operation the
element will stay on until the desired temperature is reached inside the fridge.
3. The thermostat can be adjusted between “Max” and “Warm” to obtain the desired
fridge temperature. When the thermostat reaches the set temperature, it will reduce the
burner back to bypass operation or shut the element off in 110V operation.
4. In DC operation the fridge will only maintain the temperature that’s already been
achieved. There is no thermostatic function.
When operating on 110V or LP gas, the setting of the thermostat is critical and
recommend it be adjusted to maintain a dry frost on the cooling fins (approx. 38
Fahrenheit or 3 Celsius). Adjust the thermostat knob closer to “Max” (clockwise) when
the ambient temperature rises.
How to Use the Refrigerator
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, this is necessary to
maintain the required low temperature for food storage. The coldest areas in the
refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer
areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when placing different
types of food in the refrigerator.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish,
whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided
they are pre-cooled in the refrigerator. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in
covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.
Defrosting
Frost will gradually accumulate inside the refrigerator and freezer surfaces. It must not be
allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects the refrigerator
UNIQUE UGP 3
12
performance. Check the formation of frost every week and when it exceeds ½” thick,
defrost the refrigerator.
Shut off and empty the refrigerator, leaving the fridge and the freezer doors open.
Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it in the
freezer compartment.
DO NOT USE A HOT AIR BLOWER, PERMANENT DAMAGE
COULD RESULT
. DO NOT USE A KNIFE, ICE PICK, OR ANY
OTHER SHARP TOOLS TO REMOVE FROST FROM THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
.
FRIDGE SECTION
Inside the refrigerator compartment, the defrost water drips into a catch tray and moves
to the back of the fridge via a small tube. If heavy frost has built up on the cooling fins
creating a lot of defrost water, your water reservoir may overflow, we suggest you inspect
reservoir before/after cycle.
F
REEZER SECTION
This area must be wiped down with cloths to remove water after defrosting; there is no
catch tray for this compartment
When all frost is melted in the freezer compartment & interior of the refrigerator it should
be wiped up with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set the thermostat to its normal
position.
Cleaning
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean
the interior liner of the refrigerator, use a lukewarm water and weak soda solution. Use
only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice trays and shelves.
Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts as the
protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the
refrigerator clean. Dishwasher detergent is recommended
UNIQUE UGP 3
13
Maintenance & Service
The user should be aware of service that must be done on a regular schedule to keep the
refrigerator operating properly. Installation must be by a licensed gas fitter in accordance
with local codes or must comply with Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2

Looking Inside
SHELF ADJUSTMENT
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before
adjusting the shelves, remove all food.
Food Storage Ideas
FRESH FOOD STORAGE
The fresh food compartment should be kept between 38° F and 40° F (3.3° C
and 4.4° C) with an optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3°C).
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air
around the food and results in uneven cooling.
MEAT
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination
of other foods or surfaces does not occur.
F
ROZEN FOOD STORAGE
The freezer compartment should be kept at 8.6°F (-13°C) at a 77°F (25°C) room
ambient.
A freezer operates most efficiently when it is slowly loaded to 2/3 full.
PACKAGING FOODS FOR FREEZING
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminium foil, freezer
wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.
Chapter
6
UNIQUE UGP 3
24
Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped
air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer
burn).
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
Do not refreeze meat that has thawed.
LOADING THE FREEZER
Avoid adding too much warm food into the freezer at one time. This overloads the
freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and will raise the temperature of frozen foods.
Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to
freeze as quickly as possible.
Care and Cleaning
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads,
brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash any
removable parts in a dishwasher.
NOTES:
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed
with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the
sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the certification/serial
plate.
