If possible the installation of a 12 Volt operated refrigerator should be completed with a relay mounted either in the car or in the recreational vehicle (see Fig. 1). This relay will automatically cut out the refrigerator when the car motor is stopped.

SPECIAL HINTS

The refrigerator must be installed in a sub- stantial 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 re- frigerator 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 the rear surfaces of the front frame.

A sealing strip should also be applied to the foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in Fig. 2.

Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator must be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator will otherwise become trapped in this space making the top of the refrigerator hot and reducing the effi- ciency of the refrigerator.

CERTIFIED INSTALLATION

Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower side vent or as optional one upper vent and one lower side vent. The two alternatives are provided for by using the different kits listed in the Appendix.

For further information contact your dealer or distributor.

METHODS OF INSTALLATION

The methods of installation are shown in figures 3 and 4. It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are strictly maintained as the performance of the refrige- rator is dependent on an adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator.
