RM5310 – RM5385
 If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the
ground, an additional inlet vent (fig. 2 5, page 3) must be provided in the
floor for releasing leaked gas.
 For the RM5380 and RM5385 refrigerators, an air inlet vent
(fig. 2 5, page 3) must always be installed in the floor.
 The air vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an open door
or by installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
 Install a fan kit for distances of 25 mm – 45 mm between the cabin door
and air outlet vent (see chapter "Accessories" on page 17).
 There must be sufficient space at the back of the refrigerator for the air to
be able to circulate around the cooling element.
 Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 2 4, page 3) above the refrigerator so
that the heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
 Install the refrigerator so that it is protected from excessive heat, as this
leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the
refrigerator.
 The electrical installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standards: EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 and
EN 1648-2.
 The gas installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standard: EN 1949.
 The refrigerator must be installed in a draught-proof location in
accordance with EN 1949, see chapter "Installing the refrigerator in a
draught-proof location" on page 19.
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.
