Assemble the Enclosure
- Make sure the enclosure is 21 inches high x 19 3/8 inches
wide x 24 inches deep.
- Make sure the floor is solid and level.
- The floor must be metal or a wood panel and extend
the full width and depth of the enclosure.
- The floor must be able to support the weight of the
refrigerator and its contents.
- Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a
furnace vent, etc.
Install the Lower and Upper Vents
1. Determine the rough opening (RO) size for each vent.
Certified Vent Part No. RO High RO Wide
Upper Exhaust 617485 7 1/4 in. 18 in.
Vent
Lower Intake 617484 9 3/4 in. 19 3/8 in.
Vent
2. Install the lower intake vent (See Art01026):
WARNING: Make sure the bottom of the opening for
the lower intake vent is even with or immediately below
the floor level. This allows any leaking propane gas to
escape to the outside and not to collect at floor level.
- Make sure the bottom of the opening of the lower intake
vent [1] is even with or immediately below the floor level.
- Align the lower intake vent vertically below the coils [2] and
the condenser [3] of the refrigerator.
3. Install the upper exhaust vent (See Art01036):
- Make sure the distance [4] from the floor level to the top of
the rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 20
5/8 inches or poor cooling performance can occur.
- Align the upper exhaust vent [5] vertically above with
the coils and in line with the condenser of the refrigera-
tor.
- For the best cooling performance and if the construction of
the vehicle allows, the distance [4] from the floor level to the
top of the rough opening of the upper exhaust vent [5]
should be as near 30 1/2 inches as possible (See
Art01027).
- Align the upper exhaust vent [5] vertically above the
coils [2] and the condenser [3] of the refrigerator.
Reverse the Door Swing (optional)
This refrigerator has door hinges that allow you to change the
direction that the door opens by moving the hinges on a
diagonal to the opposite side. (See Art01031)
1. Remove the door:
- Remove the storage bins from the door.
- Turn out and save the upper hinge pin [1].
- Open the door a small amount and pull the top of the door
away from the upper hinge of the refrigerator.
- Lift the door off [2] of the lower hinge pin [3].
- Turn out and save the lower hinge pin.
2. Change the position of the hinges:
- Remove the screws from the front of the breaker [4].
- Remove the breaker.
- Remove the screws [5] from the upper hinge [6].
- Put this hinge on the other side as the lower hinge.
- Attach the hinge with the screws.
- Turn the lower hinge pin down into this hinge.
- Remove the screws [5] from the lower hinge [7].
- Put this hinge on the other side as the upper hinge.
- Attach the hinge with the screws.
- Turn the breaker over and assemble it to the front of the
refrigerator.
3. Install the door:
- Turn the door over.
- Put the door down onto the lower hinge pin.
- Align the holes in the upper hinge and the hinge bushing
and hold in ths position.
- Screw the upper hinge pin down into the upper hinge and
into the door.
- Put the storage bins in the door.
- Install a baffle [6] to prevent stagnant hot air in the area
[7] above the refrigerator (See Art01028).
- Make sure there is less than 1/4 inch clearance [8]
between the baffle and the top of the refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffle is the full width of the inside
of the enclosure.
- If the distance from the back of the refrigerator to the wall of
the vehicle is more than one inch, install a baffle [9] at the
top of the intake vent between the back of the refrigerator
and the wall of the vehicle.
