RM4605 & RM4805
The five screws have to be installed in the following order:
1. Install two screws through the front base.
The refrigerator is provided with a lower front
strip (shipped as a loose part) which is to be
attached after the refrigerator is set into the
cutout opening.
a) Install the lower front strip by sliding it under
the bottom hinge plate and swing it into place.

SECURING THE REFRIGERATOR
For the best cooling performance, when installing refrig-
erator model:
•
RM4605 & RM4805:
The installer must block any space
between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top of
the refrigerator greater than 40 mm.
Otherwise the heat will become trapped in this space,
making the top of the refrigerator hot, thus reducing the
efficiency of the unit.
After the refrigerator is put in place, insuring a combustion
seal at the front frame, the refrigerator is to be secured
in the enclosure with screws. (These screws are not in-
cluded.)
Failure to follow the sequence in securing the refrigerator
in enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and
cabinet.
(The hinge plate can be on the right or left
side depending on the door swing.)
BUILDING-IN
The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat
from hot objects.
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 set open. This would reduce the venti-
lation airflow to the cooling unit and reduce refrigeration
performance.
The refrigerator has to be installed in a substantial en-
closure and must be level. For information about dimen-
sions, see “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 weight of the refrig-
erator.
Make sure that there is a complete seal between the
front frame of the refrigerator and top, sides and bot
-
tom of the enclosure.
Push the refrigerator into the recess until the sealing strip
on the flange seals against the front of the recess, so that
the cooling unit is completely sealed off against the inte-
rior of the motor home / caravan.
Note!
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the
refrigerator is put in place.

Wood strip
Fig. 7
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.
When two side vents are used, a suitable warm air de-
flecting plate should be fitted from the top of the cabinet
to the top of the wall vent.
This will direct warm air rising from the cooling unit to the
outside. Care must be taken to insure the warm air de-
flecting plate can not damage wires or tubes on top of the
refrigerator cabinet.
