This refrigerator is a built-in design, it needs to be installed into a dimensioned 

cabinet before using.

Before installing the refrigerator into the opening, make sure the AC/DC supply 

is properly connected.  In many cases, the AC/DC supply can be connected from 

outside the vehicle by means of the baggage or access door.

Measure the opening to determine if you have proper clearance for installation.  

Additional insulation space around the refrigerator is not necessary.

Make sure that the enclosure is the correct size:

-  Model TRC40:  20.5 inches high x 15.25 inches wide x 17.75 inches deep.

-  Model TRC51:  20.5 inches high x 18.5 inches wide x 21 inches deep.

If the refrigerator has mounting 

holes in the front metal flange, 

put screws through the flange 

(in four places) to securely 

mount the refrigerator into the 

opening (See Art02324). 

If the refrigerator does not 

have mounting holes in the 

front metal flange, put screws 

through the holes in the sides 

of the cabinet liner (in four 

places) to securely mount the 

refrigerator into the opening.

Be sure the refrigerator is not 

in direct sunlight or near a gas 

stove, a heater, or other heat-

generating appliances.  Avoid 

installing your refrigerator 

close to warm water lines or warm air ducts.

Your refrigerator was thoroughly cleaned before shipment from the factory.  It is 

advisable, however, to clean the interior once more before using.  Wipe the interior with 

a cloth and warm water.  Then wipe with a dry cloth.
