
Provide a heat conduction plate above the refrigerator (fig.

3, page 3)
to prevent the heat from accumulating in the vehicle.
 Install the device so that it is protected from excess heat radiation, as this
will impair the performance and increase the energy consumption of the
refrigerator.
 The electrical installation must be performed in line with national and local
regulations.
European standards: EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 and
EN 1648-2.
 The gas installation must be performed in line with national and local
regulations.
European standard: EN 1949.
 The refrigerator must be installed in a draft-proof manner in line with
EN 1949, see chapter “Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof manner”
on page 34.
6.2 Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof manner
Gas-operated cooling appliances in caravans and motorhomes must be
installed in a draft-proof manner according to EN 1949. That means that the
combustion air is not removed directly from the interior and the exhaust
gases are prevented from entering the living space directly.
Suitable sealing must be provided between the back wall of the refrigerator
and the interior of the vehicle.
!
The manufacturer recommends using flexible sealing to make the removal
and installation for maintenance purposes simpler.
➤
Attach the sealing lips (fig. 5 1, page 4) to an attachment bar behind the
refrigerator, e.g. by using adhesive.
➤
During installation, push the refrigerator against the attachment bar with
its sealing lips. The space behind the device is now sealed from the
interior of the vehicle.
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use easily combustible materials such as silicone sealant,
assembly foam or similar to install the device in a draft-proof
manner.
