securing the refrigerator
It is important to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator
in enclosure since failure in doing so can cause leakage be-
tween the frame and cabinet. Any space between the counter,
storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than
1-1/2 inches should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear
of the refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making
the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efciency of the
refrigerator.
After the refrigerator is put in place (ensuring a combustion
seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the
enclosure with six screws (not included).
installation procedure
A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening •
of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be
anchored to the wood strip with screws.
installing the refrigerator
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure •
and must be level.
Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpet-•
ing must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel
beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and
depth of the appliance.
All areas within the recess in which the refrigerator is •
installed must be sealed. Make sure that there is a complete
seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the
top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing
strip is applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this
purpose. The sealing strip should provide a complete isola-
tion of the appliance’s combustion system from the vehicle
interior.
