You need to explore the fire hazard potential - and if you're still happy with your gas/electric - add fusible link actuated extinguisher in the rear of the fridge compt.
I won't argue with the automatic fire supression suggestion but I have an question of the person who posted the quoted stuff (Sorry I had to edit out your ID)
Just how serious IS that fire hazard? There are thousands of Absorption fridges. if not a larger number Some are even commercial units. and how many fires are there every year caused by 'em?
How many of those are caused in turn by poor maintenance as opposed to cooling unit failure.. IE propane leaks?
