SPECIAL HINTS
Note. Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting.
Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel
beneath the appliance which extends at least full width and
depth of the appliance.
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial
enclosure and must be level. A spirit level is supplied
with each refrigerator and by placing it in the freezer com-
partment one can level the refrigerator both ways front to
back and side to side. When installing the refrigerator in
the enclosure care should be taken to ensure a complete
sealing between the front frame of the refrigerator and
the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. For this
purpose a length of sealing strip is applied to rear sur-
faces of the front frame. A sealing strip should also be
applied to the foremost floor of the enclosure as shown
in fig 8. The sealing strip should provide a complete isola-
tion of the appliance combustion system from the vehicle
interior.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of
the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place.
In the front frame and in the base at the rear of the refrigerator
there are holes for screws for fixing the refrigerator in the enclo-
sure. See fig. 9.
Any space between counter or storage area and the top of the
refrigerator greater than 1 1/2" should be blocked. The heat pro-
duced at the rear of the refrigerator will otherwise become trap-
ped in this space making the top of the refrigerator hot and
reducing the efficiency of the refrigerator.
TO REMOVE AND REPAIR
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before working on the refrigerator, make sure that 120 V A.C.
and optional 12 V DC. Leads are disconnected. Close the gas
valve. Unscrew the hexagon nut (#11 Fig. 2) and move the
Valve on the gas line out of the bracket. Check that the valve
slips out of the clip connection with the switch shaft.
Loosen the screws fixing the refrigerator to the enclosure and
remove the refrigerator.
When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing strips
are properly positioned. After reassembly the gas connection
should be checked for leaks.
TEST OF THE GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF
The gas safety shutoff device must be tested after the refrigera-
tor is placed in operation.

Start the refrigerato;according to the instruction
for gas operation with piezo igniter.
Check that the gas flame is lit. This can be observ-
ed through the reflector (E).
Close the gas valve by turning the knob (A) back to
position “OFF”.
Wait 1 minute.
Remove cover plate, see (46) in fig 1. Open the gas
valve by turning the knob (A) to position “GAS”
without pushing the button (C) and (D). Test that no
gas comes through the jet, (item 38.) Use soap
water solution. Be careful not to damage the jet.
After test, rinse the jet with water. Once more be
careful no to damage the jet. Assemble the cover
plate. Start the refrigerator by following the instruc-
tion for gas operation with piezo igniter. Normal
gas operation should now return. Operate for at
least 5 minutes.

Start the refrigerator according to the instruction
for gas operation with automatic reigniter.
Check that the gas flame is lit. The lamp (E) is out.
Close the gas valve by turning the knob (A) back to
position “OFF”.
Wait 1 minute, disconnect 12 V D.C.
Remove cover plate, see (46) fig. 2 for RM2500 and
(55) fig. 3 for RM2600/2800. Open the gas valve by
turning knob (A) to position “GAS” without pushing
the button (C). The igniter will not spark. Test that
no gas comes through the jet, (item 38). Use soapy
water. Be careful not to damage the jet.
After the test rinse the jet with water. Once more
be careful not to damage the jet. Assemble the
cover plate. Connect the 12 V D.C. again. Start the
refrigerator by following the instruction for gas
operation with automatic reigniter. Normal gas
operation should now return. Operate for at least 5
minutes.
