3. Put the refrigerator in position:
WARNING: Make sure the combustion seal is not broken, is
completely around the refrigerator mounting flanges, and is between
the mounting flanges and the wall of the enclosure If the 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.
NOTE: Be careful when you put the refrigerator into position. The refrigera-
tor has vacuum insulating panels on the top and sides. If punc-
tured, these panels lose insulation value which decreases the
cooling performance of the refrigerator. It is not necessary to
remove the protective packaging from the doors of metal door
models to install or operate the refrigerator.
- Make sure that the flue cap is not pushed down against the top of the
flue tube.
- Push the refrigerator completely into the enclosure.
4. Install the mounting screws and trim (See Art01814):
- Put the four screws [41] through both the upper and the lower mounting
flanges on the front of the refrigerator and into the enclosure wall.
- Push the trim pieces [40] onto the front of the refrigerator.
- Put screws through the mounting flange on the rear of the refrigerator
and into the floor.
5. On metal door models only, you may wish to remove the protective
packaging from the doors.
NOTE: Be careful to not scratch or dent the metal doors. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because
they can damage the fininish of the doors.
