INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

Be careful when installing the refrigerator model
. It is equipped with the latest vacuum
NDR1062
insulated panel technology. These insulating panels
are located on the top, back, bottom, sides and doors.
If the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will oc-
cur, resulting in poor refrigerator performance.
For a proper installation, follow these instructions:
• Make sure the fl oor is solid and level.
• The refrigerator must be level and installed in a substantial
enclosure.
• Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpet-
ing must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel
beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and
depth of the appliance.

3862 & NDR1062
A wood strip must be in place across the
upper opening of the enclosure. The top
frame of the refrigerator will be anchored to
the wood strip with screws.
• All areas within the recess have to be sealed. The sealing
should provide a provide a complete isolation of the appli-
ance's combustion system from the vehicle interior.
Make sure there is a complete seal between the front frame
of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclo-
sure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of
the front frame for this purpose.
RM2351 and RM2354: In addition, apply a sealing strip to
the foremost fl oor of the enclosure.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the
refrigerator is put in place!

SECURING THE REFRIGERATOR

When installing the refrigerator, make sure the heat can not be
trapped in the space between the refrigerator and storage area.
This would make the top of the refrigerator hot and reduces the
effi ciency of the refrigerator. Any space between the counter,
storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than
1½ inches should be blocked.
After the refrigerator has been installed (ensuring a combustion
seal at the front frame) it must be secured in the enclosure with
screws (not included). Note that it is important to follow the
sequence in securing refrigerator since failure in doing that can
cause leakage between the frame and cabinet!

1. Four screws installed through the front frame.
(To cover the screw heads, use the plugs in the parts
bag.)
2. One screw installed in the rear base.

the cutout opening.
Install the lower front
strip by sliding it
under the bottom
hinge plate.
The hinge plate can be
on the right or left side
depending on the door swing.
Once the lower front strip is slipped under the
hinge, the part is possible to swing into place.
