Replace the Refrigerator
Very heavy object. Do not attempt to
install without help. Unassisted attempts
will likely cause bodily injury, property
damage, or both.
1. Push the refrigerator completely into the enclosure.
Make sure the combustion seal is not
broken, is completely around the refrig-
erator mounting flanges, and is between
the mounting flanges and the wall of the
enclosure. If the combustion seal is not
complete, exhaust fumes can be pres-
ent in the living area of the vehicle. The
breathing of exhaust fumes can cause
dizziness, nausea, and in extreme cases,
death.
2. Put the screws through the upper mounting bracket and into
the wall.
3. Push the upper trim plastic trim onto the upper mounting
bracket.
4. Push the lower plastic trim onto the lower mounting bracket.
5. Put two screws through the lower plastic trim, the lower
mounting bracket, and into the floor.
6. Open the lower intake vent and put the screws through the
rear mounting flange of the refrigerator into the floor.
7. Connect the DC wires from the refrigerator.
8. Connect the DC wiring to the battery or the converter.
9. Push the AC power cord into the receptacle.
To avoid possible propane gas leaks, al-
ways use two (2) wrenches to loosen and
tighten the propane gas supply lines at the
refrigerator’s manual shut off valve.
10.
Attach the propane gas supply line to the 3/8 inch male flare
fitting of the refrigerator.
Conduct Leak Test
1. Open the valve of the propane gas tank(s) of the vehicle.
Do not allow the leak checking solution
to touch the electrical components. Many
liquids are electrically conductive and can
cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts,
and in some cases, fire.
Do not use any leak test solution that
contains ammonia or chlorine. Ammonia
and chlorine corrode brass and copper
components.
2. Using a leak checking solution, examine the gas supply line
connections for leaks. No leaks are allowed.
