Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof location
!
Gas-powered refrigerators in camper vans or mobile homes must be installed in a
draft-free location. This means that the combustion air is not extracted from the inte-
rior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly entering the living space.
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the inte-
rior of the vehicle.
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation
for maintenance purposes.
