Preparing the installation

Observe the following instructions when installing the refrigerator:
 The refrigerator should not exceed an angle of inclination of 3° so that the
refrigerant can be circulated properly. Make make sure that the ice tray is
flat in the refrigerator when the vehicle is level.
 The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it remains fixed in
place during movement of the vehicle. Mind the following dimensions:
(H x W x D in mm): 662 x 384 x 415.
 All surfaces around exhaust pipe and burner housing must be of or cov-
ered by metal or other non-flammable material.
 In the outer wall an air inlet (fig. 3 1, page 3) and vent hole (fig. 3 2,
page 3) with ventilation grid has to be provided so that emerging heat can
be properly dissipated to the outside:
– air inlet: ventilation grid as flush as possible to the floor of the fitted
niche with a cross-section of at least 250 cm²
– vent hole: preferably atop the device. Here a ventilation grid with inte-
grated exhaust gases duct can be used instead.
 If the air inlet's ventilation grid cannot be mounted flush to the floor, an
additional air inlet (fig. 3 4, page 3) must be provided in the floor to dis-
charge leaking gas.
 The air inlet and the vent hole must not be covered by vehicle compo-
nents (e.g. bumper or open door) during operation.
 At the back of the refrigerator must be enough space so that air can
circulate around the cooling element.
 Provide a heat conducting plate on the upside (fig. 3 1, page 3) so that
heat cannot build up inside the vehicle.
 The refrigerator must be installed draught-proof according to EN 1949,
see chapter "Installing the refrigerator draught-proof" on page 15.
