Installation Manual 8
1. Install the upper roof exhaust vent.
CAUTION: Make sure that no sawdust, insulation, or other construction debris is
on the refrigerator or in the enclosure. Debris can cause a combustion hazard and
prevent the refrigerator from operating correctly.
NOTE: Tighten the screws of the upper roof exhaust cap to 10 inch-pounds max. Also make
sure that the air ow around the upper roof exhaust cap is not blocked or decreased
by other roof mounted features such as a luggage carrier, an air conditioner, a solar
panel, etc.
2. Align the upper roof exhaust vent above the lower intake exhaust vent (See Art01597):
3. Determine the type of enclosure in a vehicle using an upper roof exhaust vent (See
Art01756):
- If the distance from the face of the enclosure to the inboard edge of the roof exhaust
vent opening [169] is more than 17 1/2 inches, install the roof exhaust vent [12] directly
above the condenser [11] of the refrigerator as a vertical enclosure.
- If the distance from the face of the enclosure to the inboard edge of the roof exhaust vent opening [169] is 17 1/2 inches or less,
install the roof exhaust vent [12] inboard from the condenser [11] of the refrigerator as an offset vertical enclosure.

or incorrectly located, poor cooling performance can result.
Vertical enclosures:
If the enclosure depth is 24 inches or more and less than 25 inches (See Art01780):
- Install a top bafe [13].
- Make sure there is less than 1/4 inch clearance between the bafe and the top of the
refrigerator.
