SPECIAL HINTS
Note. Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.
The refngerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. A spirit level is supplied with each refrigerator and by placing it in the freezer compartment one can level the refrigerator both ways front to back and side to side. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure care should be taken to ensure a complete sealing between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. For this purpose a length of sealing strip is applied to rear surfaces of the front frame. A sealing strip should also be applied to the foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in fig 8. The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appliance combustion system from the vehicle interior.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place.
In the front frame and in the base at the rear of the refrigerator there are holes for screws for fixing the refrigerator in the enclo- sure. See fig. 9.
Any space between counter or storage area and the top of the refrigerator greater than 1 1/2” should be blocked. The heat pro- duced at the rear of the refrigerator will otherwise become trap- ped in this space making the top of the refrigerator hot and reducing the efficiency of the refrigerator.

TO REMOVE AND REPLACE
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before working on the refrigerator make sure that 120 V A. C. and optional 12 V D.C. Leads are disconnected. Shut the gas valve. Unscrew the hexagon nut 11 and move the valve on the gas line out of the bracket. Check that the valve slips out of the clip connection with the switch shaft.
Loosen the screws fixing the refrigerator to the enclosure and remove the refrigerator.
When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing strips are properly positioned. After reassembly the gas connection should be checked for leaks.
TEST OF THE GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF
The gas safety shutoff device must be tested after the refrigera- tor is placed in operation.
Refrigerator with piezo ignitor.
1.Start the refrigerator according to the instruction for gas operation with piezo igniter.
2.Check that the gas flame is lit. This can be observed through the reflector E.
3.Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to position “OFF”.
4.Wait 1 minute.
5.Remove cover plate, see (46) in fig. 1, Open the gas valve by turning the knob A to position “GAS” whithout pushing the button C and D. Test that no gas comes through the jet, item 38. Use soapy water. Be careful not to damage the jet.
6.After test rinse the jet with water. Once more be careful not to damage the jet. Assamble the cover plate. Start the refrigera- tor by following the Instruction for gas operation with piezo igniter. Normal gas operation should now return. Operate for at least 5 minutes.

Refrigerator with automatic reigniter.
1.Start the refrigerator according to the instruction for gas operation with automatic reigniter.
2.Check that the gas flame is lit. The lamp E is out.
3.Close the gas valve by turning the knob A back to position “OFF”.
4.Wait 1 minute, disconnect 12 V D.C.
5.Remove cover plate, see (46) fig. 2 for RM2501 and (55) fig. 3 for RM2601/2801. Open the gas valve by turning knob A to position “GAS” without pushing the button C. The igniter shall not spark. Test that no gas comes through the jet, item 38. Use soapy water. Be careful not to damage the jet.
6.After test rinse the jet with water. Once more be careful not to damage the jet. Assamble the cover plate. Connect the 12 V D. C. again. Start the refrigerator by following the instruction for gas operation with automatic reigniter. Normal gas opera- tion should now return. Operate for at least 5 minutes.
