-Make sure that the bottom of the solid box baffle is 18 inches to 18 1/2 inches above the bottom of the enclosure [25] (4 1/4 inches to 4 3/4 inches above the top of the lower intake vent opening REF) [26] .

-Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is perpendicular to the bottom of the enclosure.

-Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is either against the top of the enclosure or against the angled baffle [7] (depending on the vehicle design).

-Make sure that the solid box baffle is one inch or less [29] from the coils [2] and condenser of the refrigerator.

-Make sure that the solid box baffle is the full width of the inside of the enclosure.

-If there is more than 1/2 inch of clearance between either side of the refrigerator and the wall, fill the space with fiberglass insulation or add a baffle to eliminate the excess clearance.

-If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install a roof exhaust vent, install an upper side-wall exhaust vent.

NOTE: The refrigerator is 23.7 in. min. to 24.0 in. max. from the rear of the breaker to the rear of the condenser

[10]and is 59.0 in. min. to 59.3 in. max. from the bottom of the refrigerator to the bottom of the refrigerator condenser [11] (See Art01600).

-Install the upper side-wall exhaust vent [12] so that the distance [13] from the bottom of the enclosure to the top of the rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 63 inches (see Art01588 and Art01589).

-Align the upper exhaust vent horizontally above the lower intake vent [1].

-To prevent stagnant hot air in the area above the refrigerator, install an aluminum or galvanized steel sheet baffle [14] between the top of the refrigerator and the top of the upper exhaust vent,

-Make sure there is 1/4 inch or less of clear- ance between the baffle and the top of the refrigerator and that the baffle overlaps the refrigerator 1 inch or less [15].

-Make sure that the baffle is against the wall of the vehicle at the top of the upper exhaust vent and 1/4 inch or less from the top of the opening for the upper exhaust vent [16].

-Make sure the baffle is the full width of the inside of the enclosure.

-Make sure the clearance at the sides of the refrigerator is correct:

-If there is more than 1/2 inch of clearance between either side of the refrigerator and the wall, fill the space with fiberglass insulation or add a baffle to eliminate the excess clearance.

-When using an upper side-wall exhaust vent:

-If the depth of the enclosure is more than 24 inches and less than 26 inches [17], install a bent aluminum or galvanized steel sheet baffle [18] to the rear of the enclosure (See Art01588).

-Make sure that the bend of the baffle is the full width of the inside of the enclosure.

-Make sure that the bend of the baffle is flush with the bottom edge of the upper intake vent door frame.

-Make sure that the top edge of the baffle is 1/4 inch or less [19] below the condenser [20] and that there is 1/4 inch or less clearance [21] between the lower rear corner of the condenser and the baffle.

-If the depth of the enclosure is more than 26 inches [22], install a wood or an aluminum or galvanized steel sheet solid box baffle [23] between the lower intake vent and the upper exhaust vent (See Art01589).

-Make sure that the solid box baffle is the full width of the inside of the enclosure.

-Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is perpendicular to the bottom of the enclosure.

-Make sure that the horizontal top of the solid box baffle is even with the bottom edge of the upper exhaust vent [12].

-Make sure that the vertical top edge of the baffle is 1/4 inch or less [19] below the lower rear corner of the condenser [3].

-Make sure that there is 1/4 inch or less clearance [21] between the rear of the condenser and the baffle.
