Installation Manual  4

Certified installation needs one lower intake vent and one upper exhaust vent. Install the upper exhaust vent either through the roof or 

through the side wall of the vehicle exactly as written in this manual.  Any other installation method voids both the certification and the 

factory warranty of the refrigerator.

The bottom of the opening for the lower intake vent, which is also the service access door, must be even with or immediately below the 

floor level.  This allows any leaking LP gas to escape to the outside and not to collect at floor level.

While there are no maximum clearances specified for certification, the following maximum clearances are necessary for correct 

refrigeration:

Bottom    

0 mm min. 

 

0 mm max. 

Each Side 

0 mm min 

 

3 mm max.

Top 

 

0 mm min. 

 

6 mm max.

Rear 

 

0 mm min. 

 

25 mm max.

These clearances plus the lower and upper vents cause the natural air draft that is necessary for good refrigeration.  Cooler air 

comes in through the lower intake vent, goes up around the refrigerator coils where it removes the excess heat from the refrigerator 

components, and goes out through the upper exhaust vent.  If this air flow is blocked or decreased, the refrigerator will not cool 

correctly.

Assemble the Enclosure

1.  Make sure the enclosure is:

N304M

 

models - 756 mm high x 521 mm wide x 543 mm deep.

N404M models - 929 mm high x 602 mm wide x 620 mm deep.

N504M models - 1083 mm high x 602 mm wide x 620 mm deep.

2.  Make sure the floor is solid and level.

-  The floor must be metal or a wood panel and extend the full width and depth of the enclosure.

-  The floor must be able to support the weight of the refrigerator and its contents.

3.  Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a furnace vent, a hot water heater vent, etc.
