BUILD
ING
-IN
The
refrigerator is
intended for in
stal
lation in
a caravan or
motorhome, and the description relates to
this
application.
The
refrigerator must
n
o
t
be exposed to radiated heat from
hot objects
(e.g.
below a cooker without proper
heat
shiel
ding).
E
xcess
ive heat
irradiation
impairs
performance and leads
to
increased energy consumption.
For
this reason the refrige
rator should
be
installed if possible
not
at the
entrance
side
of
the
vehicle
-
normally orientated south and often
with
an
awning
which
would impair the dispersion
of
heat and
combustion gases from the
ventilation
openings.
It is not a good practice to install the refrigerator so that
the
vent
openings
are
covered by the vehicle's entrance door
when this
is
open.
Thi
s
would reduce
the
ventilation air
fl
ow
to
the cooling
unit
and
reduce refrigeration
performance.
The enclosure
The refrigerator
must be installed
in an
enclosure,
the
dimensions of which are shown
in
TECHNICAL DATA.
The
bottom of the enclosure
must be horizontal
and even
so
that the refrigerator
can
be
easily
pushed into
place.
It
must be sturdy enough
to
carry the wieght of the refrigera
tor.
Battens must
be
installed at the
enclosure
and fitted with
sealing
s
trips,
as shown
in fig
.
4
.
Slide in
the refrigerator until it
is
flush
with
the
front
of
the
recess.
There
must
be 10-20
mm free space behind
the
refrigerator.
Four fasteners
are
fitted in plastic bushings in the
side walls
of
the
fridge, fig
.
7.
They
are
used
for
s
ecuring
the refrigera
to
r
in
the enclosure.
The side walls
of
the
enclosure and/or any
wooden braces
installed to hold
the
refrigerator must
be dimensioned to
seat
the screws
secure
ly,
also considering the forces due to
the movement
of
the
vehicle.
With the refrigerator in
place, drive
the
screws
through the
bushings
in
the lining of the refrigerator into the walls of the
enclosure (fig.7).
There
must not
be
more
than
3mm of
clearance
between
refrigerator and enclosure on each side.
If neces
sa
ry,
wooden strips or similar should be fitted.
Note:
This
is the only approved means of
securing
the
refrigerator to the
enclosure and
to the
vehicle.
Fasteners
penetrating other parts
of
the insulation
(PU) foam
of the
refrigerator might
damage components
like electric wiring
etc.
VENTILATION OF THE UNIT
At
high ambient temperatures
the refrigeration
unit will only
perform adequately
when properly ventilated.
The refrigeration unit
is ventilated via two openings
in
the
wall
of the
caravan
(see
fig.
5).
Fresh
air
enters
through the
lower
opening and warm air
i
s
discharged
through the upper
one.
Locate the lower opening immediately
above the floor of the
recess, and the upper one
as
high
as
possible above the
condenser (C) of
the refrigeration unit
,
at
least
as shown in
fig.
6b but
preferably
as shown in fig. 6a.
Ventilation grilles Fig. 2
The
openings in
the
caravan wall
must
be
fitted with the
Electrolux
ventilation systems
.
Fitting
the
grilles, model
A 1620,
which
were specially
developed by
Electrolux for
this purpose (shown as
D
in
fig.
6).
It
is a good idea
,
to install the frame
R 1640
(A
in
the
same figure),
at
the
same
time. Then the grilles
can be
easily removed which permits inspection and small
repairs
to
be carried out
without the necessity
for removing the
refrigerator from the
recess.
If
there is
no
outer grille at floor level where leaking gas can
escape, a 40 mm
hole
to the outside should be
made in the
floor
of
the recess to
drain
any unburnt
gas
to the outside
gas.
Fit
the hole with wire mesh and an angled plate
to
protect
from
stones, mud
etc
.
Removal of flue gases
The
ventilation passage at
the
rear of the recess,
between
the
outer wall of
the
vehicle and
the refrigerator
(fig. 6)
,
is
sealed off
against
the living
space, and
so
cold
draughts are
excluded (winter camping) and no flue gases can penetrate
into
the
vehicle.
Thus
a
special
flue
outlet is
no longer
necessary
-
the gases
are
dispersed through the upper vent
grille.
Note:
With this mode
of
installation the same type of grilles
(without an integrated flue outlet), should be installed
at
the
upper
as well as at
the lower
vent open-ning
.
The
angled
T-piece
for
the
flue tube (when delivered) should not be
used in this
case.
The top
of
the
enclosure above
the flue tube
(I),
fig
6,
should be
covered with
aluminum
sheet
metal
,
as indicated
in (B), to facilitate
the
heat dispersion.
