INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

Be careful when installing the refrigerator model NDR1062. It is equipped with the latest vacuum insulated panel technology. These insulating panels are located on the top, back, bottom, sides and doors. If the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will oc- cur, resulting in poor refrigerator performance.

For a proper installation, follow these instructions:

Make sure the floor is solid and level.

The refrigerator must be level and installed in a substantial enclosure.

Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpet- ing must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.

SECURING THE REFRIGERATOR

When installing the refrigerator, make sure the heat can not be trapped in the space between the refrigerator and storage area. This would make the top of the refrigerator hot and reduces the efficiency of the refrigerator. Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 1½ inches should be blocked.

After the refrigerator has been installed (ensuring a combustion seal at the front frame) it must be secured in the enclosure with screws (not included). Note that it is important to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator since failure in doing that can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet!

RM2351-2354

Install the five screws in the following order:

1.Four screws installed through the front frame.

(To cover the screw heads, use the plugs in the parts bag.)

2.One screw installed in the rear base.

A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be anchored to the wood strip with screws.

����������

All areas within the recess have to be sealed. The sealing should provide a provide a complete isolation of the appli- ance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior.

Make sure there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclo- sure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of

the front frame for this purpose.

RM2351 and RM2354: In addition, apply a sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure.

Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the refrigerator is put in place!
