INSTALLING ThE REFRIGERATOR

• The refrigerator must be level, installed on a solid floor
and in a substantial enclosure. With the vehicle carefully
leveled, the refrigrigerator should level both ways in the
freezer compartment.
• Note! Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting.
Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or
wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least
full width and depth of the appliance.
• A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening
of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be
anchored to the wood strip with screws.
• When installing the refrigerator 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 ap-
D
plied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose.
The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the
610
appliance's combustion system from the vehicle interior.
Note! Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the
610
refrigerator is put in place.
