The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and
installation for maintenance purposes.
➤ Attach the sealing lips (fig. 3 1, page 5) to a stop rail behind the
refrigerator, for example, by using an adhesive.
➤ When installing, push the refrigerator against the stop rails with the
sealing lips. This then seals the space behind the refrigerator to the
interior of the vehicle.
6.3 Creating the air vents
I
NOTE
At high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator can only provide its
maximum cooling capacity if the optimum ventilation has been
provided.
➤ Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall with the
size of 451 mm x 156 mm. When doing so, observe the information, see
chapter "Preparing the installation" on page 19.
If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush with the
floor of the niche, you need to install an inlet vent in the floor:
➤ Make an air inlet vent in the floor (fig. 2 4, page 4) behind the refrigerator
near the gas burner with a diameter of at least 40 mm. The vent pipe must
lead directly outside. This allows leaking unburned gas to escape outside.
➤ Shield the end of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt
from getting inside while driving (fig. 4, page 5).
