3 DETERMINING WHERE TO

INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Various possibilities exist for positioning the refrigerator
in a caravan or motor home. However, the refrigerator's
performance depends on good ventilation. Ventilation
takes place through two gratings in the wall of the caravan
or motor home. When deciding where to position the
refrigerator, you must take into account the best place for
positioning the ventilation gratings.
