Installing the refrigerator
• For the RM5380 and RM5385 refrigerators, an air inlet vent (fig. 2 5, page 4)
must always be installed in the floor.
• The air vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an open door or by
installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
• Install a fan kit for distances of 25 mm – 45 mm between the cabin door and air
outlet vent (see chapter "Accessories" on page 18).
• There must be sufficient space at the back of the refrigerator for the air to be able
to circulate around the cooling element.
• Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 2 4, page 4) above the refrigerator so that the
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
• Install the refrigerator so that it is protected from excessive heat, as this leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
• The electrical installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standards: EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 and EN 1648-2.
• The gas installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standard: EN 1949.
• The refrigerator must be installed in a draught-proof location in accordance with
EN 1949, see chapter "Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location" on
page 20.
6.2 Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location
Gas-powered refrigerators in caravans or motorhomes must be installed in a
draught-free location according to EN 1949. This means that the combustion air is
not extracted from the interior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly
entering the living space.
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the inte-
rior of the vehicle.
!
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar
for the draught-proof installation.
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation
for maintenance purposes.
➤ Attach the sealing lips (fig. 3 1, page 5) to a stop rail behind the refrigerator, for
example, by using an adhesive.
➤ When installing, push the refrigerator against the stop rails with the sealing lips.
This then seals the space behind the refrigerator to the interior of the vehicle.
