Draught-free installation

The refrigerator must be sealed in accordance with EN 1949.

Proposal :
FIG. 2
Finally, push the refrigerator into the recess from the front.
Comment:
Other methods of sealing may be approved. However the chosen method must pre-
vent draughts entering the living space of the motorhome. Failure to seal correctly will
allow warm air to collect around the refrigerator and its performance will be affected.
If the cavity between the vehicle’s wall and the refrigerator is sealed so that fumes
cannot penetrate the living area it is possible to vent the flue gas directly through the
upper grille
Do not use any kind of aluminium flue pipe (e.g. T-piece) to lead the flue gas out.

at the bottom and at each side (FIG 1, 2, 3).
Insert deflector plate (B), fitted with a lipped seal (A)
of heavy-duty, non- flammable material, into the
installation recess (see Fig. 4).
Insert deflector plate (B) in such a way that the hot
air escapes through the air vent grille into the open
air. Affix the discharge plate to the caravan wall, not
to the refrigerator !
In addition, discharge plate (B) with its lipped seal
(A) must seal the refrigerator off from the living area
(see FIG. 1,4).
