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.
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and
installation for maintenance purposes.
➤ Attach the sealing lips (fig. 8 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 Making air inlet and outlet 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 410 mm x 249 mm. When doing so, observe the information, see
chapter "Preparing the installation" on page 17.
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. 3 4, page 3) behind the refrigerator
near the gas burner.
➤ Shield the end of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt
from getting inside while driving (fig. 9, page 5).
