Owner’s Manual 12
3. Install the upper exhaust vent:
- If you install the roof exhaust vent (see Art01638):
CAUTION:
Make sure that no sawdust, insulation,
or other construction debris is on the refrigerator or
in the enclosure. Debris can cause a combustion
hazard and prevent the refrigerator from operating
correctly.
NOTE: Tighten the screws of the upper roof exhaust cap to 11.5
kgf/cm max. Also make sure that the air flow around the
upper roof exhaust cap is not blocked or decreased by
other roof mounted features such as a luggage carrier,
an air conditioner, a solar panel, etc.
- If the design of the vehicle allows, install the roof
exhaust vent [12] directly above the condenser [11] of
the refrigerator.
- Install a baffle [13] to prevent stagnant hot air in the
area [14] above the refrigerator.
- Make sure there is less than 6 mm clearance
[15] between the baffle and the top of the
refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffle is the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
- If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install
the roof exhaust vent directly above the condenser of
the refrigerator:
- Align the roof exhaust vent [12] above the lower
intake vent and move it inboard as necessary (See
Art01639).
- Install two baffles [13] to prevent stagnant hot air in
the area [14] above the refrigerator.
- Make sure both baffles are the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
- Make sure that both baffles are no more than
45° from vertical [20].
- Put one baffle between the top rear edge of the
refrigerator and the inside edge of the upper
exhaust vent opening.
- Make sure there is less than 6 mm
clearance [15] between the baffle and the
top of the refrigerator.
- Put the other baffle between the outside edge
of the upper exhaust vent opening and the side
wall of the vehicle.
- If you install the upper side exhaust vent (See Art01637):
- Make sure the distance [25] from the floor level to the
top of the rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is
at least 940 mm for N304 models, 1060 mm for N404
models, and 1210 mm for N504 models or poor cooling
performance can occur.
- Align the upper exhaust vent [24] horizontally above the
lower intake vent [9] of the refrigerator.
- Install a baffle [13] to prevent stagnant hot air in the area
[14] above the refrigerator.
- Make sure there is less than 6mm clearance
[15] between the baffle and the top of the
refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffle is the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
- If there is more than 25 mm of clearance between the rear
of the refrigerator and the enclosure, add two baffles [16]
to the rear of the enclosure (See Art01637, Art01638, and
Art01639):
- Put one baffle at the top edge of the lower intake vent
[9].
- Put the other baffle at the lower edge of the condenser
[11] of the refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffles are less than 6 mm from the
coils [10] and condenser of the refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffles are the full width of the inside
of the enclosure.
- If there is more than 13 mm of clearance between either side
of the refrigerator and the wall, fill the space with fiberglass
insulation or add a baffle to eliminate the excess clearance.
Put the refrigerator in position (see Art01288):
WARNING:
Make sure the combustion seal [28]
is not broken, is completely around the refrigerator
mounting flanges [156], and is between the
mounting flanges and the wall of the enclosure. If
the combustion seal is not complete, exhaust fumes
can be present in the living area of the vehicle. The
breathing of exhaust fumes can cause dizziness,
nausea, or in extreme cases, death.
- On N404 and N504 models, remove the door from the
refrigerator (See “Reverse the door swing” section).
- Put screws through the holes of the refrigerator mounting
flanges and into the enclosure wall.
- Attach the door to the refrigerator.
- Put a screw through the holes [121] in the braces at the
lower rear corners of the refrigerator and into the floor.
