Installing the refrigerator
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
• To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not exceed an
angle of 3 °.
Park the vehicle horizontally for this purpose.
• The refrigerator must be installed so that
– it is easily accessible for service work
– easy to de-install and install
– can be easily removed from the vehicle
• The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. 1, page 3 for this purpose.
• The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 2 1, page 4) and an outlet
vent (fig. 2 2, page 4) with ventilation grills so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit ventilation grill as flush as possible with the base of the instal-
lation niche.
– Outlet vent: fit as far above the refrigerator as possible.
– The distance between the air inlet and outlet vents must be at least 1250 mm
(fig. 3, page 4).
• Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 3 1, page 4) above the refrigerator so that the
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
• The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least 15 mm
but no more than 25 mm.
• A distance of more than 25 mm between the refrigerator and rear wall leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
Reduce the space behind the refrigerator to create adequate air inlet and outlet
ventilation (fig. 4, page 5). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.
• If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be met, a
roof vent must be installed instead of the air outlet vent.
– The roof vent should be installed directly above the back of the refrigerator as
far as this is possible. Use an air duct (fig. 5 1, page 5) if you need to install
the roof vent offset; otherwise, heat will accumulate there.
– The distance between the air inlet vent and the roof vent must be at least
1800 mm (fig. 5, page 5).
– If a roof air conditioner is provided, the distance between the roof vent
(fig. 6 1, page 6) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner (fig. 6 2,
page 6) must be at least 300 mm.
• The refrigerator must not be installed at the side of the air inlet and outlet vents as
this leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the
refrigerator.
