Installing the refrigerator
• A distance of more than 25 mm (0.98 in.) between the refrigerator and rear wall
leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refriger-
ator. Reduce the space behind the refrigerator to create adequate air inlet and
outlet ventilation (fig. 4, page 5). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do
this.
• If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be met, a
roof vent must be installed instead of the air outlet vent.
– The roof vent should be installed directly above the back of the refrigerator as
far as this is possible. Use an air duct (fig. 5 1, page 5) if you need to install
the roof vent offset; otherwise, heat will accumulate there.
– The distance between the air inlet vent and the roof vent must be at least
1800 mm (70.87 in.) (fig. 5, page 5).
– If a roof air conditioner is provided, the distance between the roof vent
(fig. 6 1, page 6) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner (fig. 6 2,
page 6) must be at least 300 mm (70.87 in.).
• The refrigerator must not be installed at the side of the air inlet and outlet vents as
this leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the
refrigerator.
• The air inlet and outlet vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an
open door or by installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
• Install the refrigerator so that it is protected from excessive heat, as this leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator must be installed in a draft-proof location.
5.2 Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof location
!
WARNING! Fire hazard!
• Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or
similar for the draft-proof installation.
• Position the device so that no connection cable is damaged or
pinched.
• Do not use multiple sockets or portable power adapters behind the
device.
Gas-powered refrigerators in camper vans or mobile homes must be installed in a
draft-free location. This means that the combustion air is not extracted from the inte-
rior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly entering the living space.
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the
interior of the vehicle.
