6.2 Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location
Gas-powered refrigerators in caravans or motorhomes must be installed in a
draught-free location according to EN 1949. This means that the combustion air is
not extracted from the interior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly
entering the living space.
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the
interior of the vehicle.
!
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar
for the draught-proof installation.
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation
for maintenance purposes.
➤ Attach the sealing lips (fig. 4 1, page 4) to a stop rail behind the refrigerator, for
example, by using an adhesive.
➤ When installing, push the refrigerator against the stop rails with the sealing lips.
This then seals the space behind the refrigerator to the interior of the vehicle.
6.3 Creating the air vents
I
NOTE
At high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator can only provide its
maximum cooling capacity if the optimum ventilation has been
provided.
➤ Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall. Observe instructions
when doing this, see chapter "Preparing the installation" on page 16 and the
dimensions in fig. 7 and fig. 8, page 5.
