Installing the refrigerator

5.1 Preparing the installation
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
•
To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not exceed an
angle of 3°.
To do this, park the vehicle on a level surface and check to see if the ice-cube tray
is flat in the refrigerator.
•
The refrigerator must be installed so that it is easily accessible for service work,
easy to de-install and install and can be easily removed from the vehicle.
•
The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least 15 mm.
•
The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the following dimensions in this regard (fig. 1, page 2 to
fig. 7, page 3).
The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 8 1, page 3) and an outlet
•
vent (fig. 8 2, page 3) with ventilation grills so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit the ventilation grill as flush as possible to the floor of the
installation niche with a minimum cross-section of 400 cm
– If this is not possible, install the ventilation opening in the floor of the camper
van.
– Outlet vent: fit as far above the refrigerator as possible.
– Ensure the correct distance between the air inlet vent and air outlet vent
(fig. 9, page 3).
