Combustion Seals
Combustion seals (foam strips) are attached to the

These seals isolate the products of combustion from
the vehicle’s living space. The seals must be con-
tinuous between the wall and the mounting
flanges to assure a complete combustion seal.
When installing or removing the refrigerator, insure
that the seals are not missing or damaged.
Lower Flange Installation
The lower mounting flange and mounting screws
are located in a clear plastic bag positioned in the
coils at the rear of the refrigerator. After removing the
plastic bag, slide the refrigerator partially into the en-
closure and attach the lower mounting flange. Install
the lower mounting flange by maneuvering it under
and behind the bottom hinge and secure with the
screws provided. Refer to Figure 7. Do not omit in-
stallation of the lower mounting flange. This
flange is part of the combustion seal.
Securing the Refrigerator
Secure the refrigerator with screws through the
mounting flange holes at the front of the refrigerator
and the holes at floor level at the rear of the refrig-
erator. Screw covers are provided to cover the front
mounting flange holes.
