INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN
ENCLOSURE
NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on
carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or
protected by a metal or wood panel be-
neath the appliance which extends at least
full width and depth of the appliance.
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial en-
closure and must be level. When installing the refrigera-
tor in the enclosure, all areas within the recess in which
the refrigerator is installed must be sealed.
Make sure that there is a complete seal between the
front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and
bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is
applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this
purpose, see FIG. 6. The sealing should provide a
complete isolation of the appliance's combustion system
from the vehicle interior.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when
the refrigerator is put in place.
FIG. 6
Securing the Refrigerator
After the refrigerator is mounted in place, (ensuring a
combustion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to
be secured in the enclosure with six screws. The screws
have to be installed in the following order:
First: Two screws installed through the front base, which
includes the lower front strip installation.
The refrigerator is provided with a lower front strip (ship-
ped as a loose part). The front strip is to be installed after
the refrigerator is set into the cut-out opening.
1. Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the
bottom hinge plate, as shown in FIG. 7. The hinge
plate can be on the right or left side depending on the
door swing.

the part is possible to swing into place as shown in
FIG. 8.

3. Secure the refrigerator and the lower front strip with
two screws:
One screw through the hinge, and on the opposite
side one screw through the lower front strip. (FIG. 8).
Second: Two screws installed in the top frame.
Note: The upper part of the recess, where the wall meets
the top frame of the refrigerator, must be equipped with
a wooden crossbar in which the two screws can be
installed, see FIG. 4 page 5.
Before the screws can be mounted, the top decoration
panel has to be removed, see FIG.9.
Open the door and remove the top decoration panel by
gently pushing the tab out of the rectangular hole in the
hinge plate, (both sides) using a flat blade screw driver.
Carefully tilt the top decoration panel and lift up to
remove from top frame.
