NOTE
• In Camper Vans an undercounter unit can be installed with the door
pointing in the direction of travel, as long as it is installed next to the
sliding door and behind the co-driver's seat.
• If the compressor fridge replaces an absoption unit, you have to
make sure, that the external ventilation grills are completely closed,
otherwise there is the risk, that the compressor will not run at low
ambient temperature (~below 0 °C).
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
• Ensure that the floor is solid and level.
Park the vehicle horizontally for this purpose.
• The refrigerator must be installed so that
– it is easily accessible for service work
– easy to de-install and install
– can be easily removed from the vehicle
• The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands secure when the
vehicle is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. 1, page 3
for this purpose.
