Installation
In the event of high ambient temperatures,
full performance of the cooling unit can
only be achieved by means of adequate
ventilation and extraction.
A correct installation of the refrigerator is
essential for its correct operation, as due to
physical reasons heat builds up at the back of
the appliance which must be allowed to esca-
pe into the open air.
Ventilation is provided for the unit by means of
two apertures in the caravan wall. Fresh air
enters at the bottom, extracts the heat and
exits through the upper vent grille (chimney
effect).

4.2.1 Principle of ventilation
4.2.2 Good and bad ventilation
The installation of a heat deflection plate (1)
between the refrigerator top edge and the
ventilation grille top edge is strictly requi-
red to guarantee the dissipation of the unit
heat and thus prevent heat build-up.
