SPECIAL HINTS

The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. A spirit level is supplied with each refrigera- tor 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 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 8. The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appli- ance 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 enclosure. (Fig. 13).

Any space between counter or storage area and the top of 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.

Do not install so that an adjacent heat producing appliance will affect the construction or performance of the refrigerator.

TO CHANGE THE DOOR OPENING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OR VICE VERSA

Open the door and unscrew the two screws holding the top front cover. The screws are accessible form beneath. Remove the top hinge pin and lift out the door.

The lower pin for the refrigerator door should be shifted to the opposite side.

The door can then be remounted. Before the top front cover is refitted check that the door closes easily and that the gasket seals well on all sides.

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.

Unscrew the hexagon nut 24 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 con- nection should be checked for leaks.
