in the recreational vehicle. Before starting to install the appli-
ance, please, make sure all parts of the packaging have been
removed, so there will not be anything left that may come into

PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The room should have a capacity (length x width x height) of at
3
least 20 m
and must be adequately ventilated as well as follow
all relevant national and local regulations. Further the room
should have a window (which can be opened) or a door to the
outside.
It is important that the refrigerator is not subject to radiation of
heat from a stove etc.
For best performance also at high ambient temperatures there
must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit at the rear of
the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is designed for a free-standing installation and
the clearance to the rear wall and to possible side walls, should
be at least 25 mm. The clearance above the refrigerator should

The supply pipe should preferably be of copper. If any other
material is used, it must be of a type approved for use with con-
tinuously operating bottled-gas appliances, and have threaded
connections throughout.
All connectors etc. should be of a type specifically designed for
