Installation recess

The refrigerator must be installed draught-
proof in a recess . The floor of the recess must
be level, allowing the appliance to be pushed
easily into its correct position. The floor must
be substantial enough to bear the weight of
the appliance.
4.5.1 Installation in the recess
Push the appliance far enough into the recess
until the front edge of the refrigerator casing is
aligned with the front of the recess. Allow a
gap of 20 mm between the back wall of the
recess and the refrigeration unit.

Securing the refrigerator

In the sidewalls of the refrigerator, there are
four plastic sleeves (1-4) for securing the refri-
gerator. The sidewalls or strips attached for
securing the refrigerator must be prepared to
hold the screws firmly in place even when
under increased load (while the vehicle is
moving). Fastening screws and caps are sup-
plied with the refrigerator.

CAUTION!
Always insert screws through the sleeves
provided as otherwise components laid in
foam, such as cables etc., could be dama-
ged.
After the refrigerator is put in its final place,
secure the screws into the wall of the recess.
The screws must penetrate the casing of the
refrigerator.
