Frequently asked questions

1. Can propane refrigerator be installed in a cabinet?

Please note that gas refrigerators have specific installation space requirements, particularly for proper ventilation. For safety and optimal performance, we do not recommend installing the gas fridge in a fully enclosed cabinet. If your installation space is limited, we advise leaving a gap of 8-15 cm at the top and back of the refrigerator to allow for sufficient airflow. Additionally, we recommend installing a ventilation hole to further improve air circulation. This will not only enhance the efficiency of the refrigerator but also help reduce energy consumption.

2. Where can I use a gas refrigerator? Is it suitable for RVs?

Our propane refrigerators are the ultimate solution for "Off-Grid Freedom," designed to provide reliable cooling wherever electricity is unavailable or unreliable. They are versatile and ideal for:

  • Remote Cabins & Cottages: Perfect for vacation homes or hunting camps without grid power.
  • Off-Grid Homes & Homesteads: For those seeking 100% energy independence.
  • RVs & Travel Trailers
    Important Considerations for RV Use:
  1. Stationary Performance: When parked at a campsite, ensure your RV is leveled to maintain optimal cooling cycles.
  2. Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance or a dedicated vent (roof or side-wall) to allow heat to escape from the back of the unit.
3. Can the gas refrigerator operate exclusively on gas? Does it require an electrical connection for ignition?

Our gas refrigerators are designed to operate on both gas and electricity, but only one power source can be used at a time. When the refrigerator is running on gas mode, it is essential to completely disconnect the electrical power. From ignition to operation, the refrigerator relies entirely on gas. The ignition system and internal lights are powered by batteries. Therefore, the gas refrigerator can function completely independently using gas.

4. Do I need to vent gas fridge to the outside?

For permanent indoor installations in small cabins or RVs,external venting is highly recommended to exhaust combustion byproducts. Always ensure there is adequate clearance around the back for air circulation and install a Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector in the room.

5. Can I run gas refrigerator on Natural Gas?

Most of our units are set up for Liquid Propane (LP) out of the box. If you wish to use Natural Gas, you will need a specific NG conversion kit and a certified technician to perform the adjustment. Please contact our support team for more details.

6. How long will a standard 20lb propane tank last?

For our 1.4 cu. ft. model, the average gas consumption is approximately 0.75 lbs per 24 hours.
A standard 20lb propane tank can power the refrigerator for approximately 25 to26 days of continuous operation.

Note: Actual fuel consumption may vary slightly depending on the ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, and the internal thermostat setting.

7. What should I do if my absorption fridge doesn't feel cold after the first startup?

If your refrigerator isn't cooling during its initial run, please follow these three essential steps before contacting support:

  1. Check the Level (Critical): Absorption systems rely on gravity to circulate the cooling liquid. If the unit is even slightly tilted, the circulation will stop. Use a bubble level to ensure the fridge is level from front-to-back and side-to-side.
  2. Give it More Time: Absorption fridge typically requires 8 to 12 hours to reach its optimal operating temperature. We recommend letting it run overnight before checking the temperature.
  3. The "Upside Down" Trick : If the unit was tilted or laid on its side during shipping, an air lock might have formed in the cooling tubes. Turn the unit completely upside down for 4–6 hours, then set it upright and wait another 4 hours before restarting.
8. Is absorption/gas refrigerator noisy when it's running?

Not at all! Since there are no moving parts or compressors, the refrigerator is virtually silent. This makes it an excellent choice for quiet, remote environments.

9. Is SMAD refrigerator CSA or UL certified?

Our refrigerators are ETL Listed. In North America, the ETL Mark is an OSHA-recognized equivalent to UL and CSA. It proves that our product has been independently tested and meets the exact same rigorous safety standards required for gas-fired appliances.
