Installation
In the event of high ambient temperatures,
full performance of the cooling unit can
only be achieved by means of adequate
ventilation and extraction.
A correct installation of the refrigerator is
essential for its correct operation, as due to
physical reasons heat builds up at the back of
the appliance which must be allowed to esca-
pe into the open air.

the refrigerator
4.3
Ventilation
Ventilation is provided for the unit by means of
two apertures in the caravan wall. Fresh air
enters at the bottom, extracts the heat and
exits through the upper vent grille (chimney
effect).
The upper ventilation grille should
be positioned as high as possible above the
condenser (Fig. 13) . Install the lower ven-
tilation grille at floor level of the vehicle
(Fig. 16)
, allowing unburnt gas (heavier than
air) to escape directly into the open air.
The
gas burner must be located above the edge
(1) .

Should this arrangement prove impossible,
a ventilation aperture must be introduced
by the manufacturer of the vehicle into the
recess floor in order to avoid the accumula-
tion of unburnt gas on the floor.

4.2.1 Installation in the recess
Push the appliance far enough into the recess
until the front edge of the refrigerator casing is
aligned with the front of the recess. Allow a
gap of 20
mm between the back wall of the
recess and the refrigeration unit.
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed
level in the recess.
The refrigerator must be installed
draught-
proof
in a recess . The floor of the recess must
be level, allowing the appliance to be pushed
easily into its correct position. The floor must
be substantial enough to bear the weight of
the appliance.
