7.INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN
ENCLOSURE
NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least the full width and depth of the appliance.
INSTALLATION: The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, be certain there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose. Also apply a sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure and apply a second sealing strip to the bottom of the trim strip on the front base as shown in FIG. 4. The sealing should provide complete isolation of the appliance's combustion system from the vehicle interior.
The dimensions shown in FIG. 3 will give you adequate

space for service and proper installation.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place.
The refrigerator is secured in the enclosure with six screws and they must be installed in the following order:
First Two Screws installed on front base; Second Two Screws installed in the top frame; Third Two Screws installed in the rear base.
Failure to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and cabi- net. The plastic caps are snapped in the front base to cover the screw heads and the decoration strip is secured to top frame. (See FIG. 5). Any space between the counter storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.

8. GAS CONNECTION
Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual gas shutoff valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF 5/8" – 18) male flare connection. All completed connections should be checked for leaks with an approved bubble solution. (See FIG. 6 – Gas tubing may have a different orientation than shown).
WARNING
DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regu- lator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than
PRESSURE
LP GASREGULATOR
CYLINDER
TO
REFRIGERATOR
When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig, the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psig, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and connec- tion to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or distributor.
