SPECIAL HINTS
Note. Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting.
Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel
beneath the appliance which extends at least full width and
depth of the appliance.
The refngerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and
must be level. A spirit level is supplied with each refrigerator and
by placing it in the freezer compartment one can level the
refrigerator both ways front to back and side to side. When
installing the refrigerator in the enclosure care should be taken to
ensure a complete sealing between the front frame of the
refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. For
this purpose a length of sealing strip is applied to rear surfaces of
the front frame. A sealing strip should also be applied to the
foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in fig 8. The sealing
should provide a complete isolation of the appliance combustion
system from the vehicle interior.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of
the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place.
In the front frame and in the base at the rear of the refrigerator
there are holes for screws for fixing the refrigerator in the enclo-
sure. See fig. 9.
Any space between counter or storage area and the top of the
refrigerator greater than 1 1/2" should be blocked. The heat pro-
duced at the rear of the refrigerator will otherwise become trap-
ped in this space making the top of the refrigerator hot and
reducing the efficiency of the refrigerator.

TO REMOVE AND REPLACE
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before working on the refrigerator make sure that 120 V A. C.
and optional 12 V D.C. Leads are disconnected. Shut the gas
valve. Unscrew the hexagon nut 11 and move the valve on the
gas line out of the bracket. Check that the valve slips out of the
clip connection with the switch shaft.
Loosen the screws fixing the refrigerator to the enclosure and
remove the refrigerator.
When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing strips
are properly positioned. After reassembly the gas connection
should be checked for leaks.
