INSTALLATION: The refrigerator must be installed in a
substantial enclosure and must be level. When installing
the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas within the recess
in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed. Make
sure that there is a complete seal between the front frame
of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the
enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear
surface of the front frame for this purpose. Also apply a
sealing strip to the bottom of the trim strip on the front base
as shown in FIG. 5. The sealing should provide complete
isolation of the appliance's combustion system from the
vehicle interior.
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. See FIG. 2.
The dimensions shown in FIG. 3 will give you adequate
space for proper installation.
