Draught-free installation
The refrigerator shall be sealed so that fumes cannot enter the living area.
Illustrated below is a typical approved method of sealing.
PROPOSAL :
Using a installation sealing
Insert lipped seals (A) into the installation recesses at
the bottom and at each side (FIG 1, 2, 3).
Insert deflector plate (B), fitted with a lipped seal (A) of
heavy-duty, non- flammable material, into the
installation recess (see Fig. 4).
Insert deflector plate (B) in such a way that the hot air
escapes through the air vent grille into the open air.
Affix the discharge plate to the caravan wall, not to
the refrigerator !
In addition, discharge plate (B) with its lipped seal (A)
must seal the refrigerator off from the living area (see
FIG. 1,4).
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level in the
recess.
Finally, push the refrigerator into the recess from the front.
This installation option facilitates the removal and installation of the appliance
for servicing.
Comment:
Other methods of sealing may be approved. However the chosen method must pre-
vent draughts entering the living space of the motorhome. Failure to seal correctly will
allow warm air to collect around the refrigerator and its performance will be affected.
If the cavity between the vehicle’s wall and the refrigerator is sealed so that fumes
cannot penetrate the living area it is possible to vent the flue gas directly through the
upper grille
Do not use any kind of aluminium flue pipe to lead the flue gas out.
