INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN ENCLOSURE
NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance. NOTE: A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be anchored to the wood strip with screws. See FIG. 4. The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas within the recess in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed. Make sure that there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose, see FIG. 6. The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appliance�s combustion system from the vehicle interior. NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the refrigerator is put in place.

Securing the Refrigerator
After the refrigerator is put in place, (ensuring a combustion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the enclosure with six screws (not included). The screws have to be installed in the following order: STEP 1: Two screws installed through the front base, which includes the lower front strip installation. The refrigerator is provided with a lower front strip (shipped as a loose part). The front strip is to be attached after the refrigerator is set into the cut-out opening. 1. Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the bottom hinge plate, as shown in FIG. 7. The hinge plate can be on the right or left side depending on the door swing. 6
3. Secure the refrigerator and the lower front strip with two screws: One screw through the hinge, and on the opposite side one screw through the lower front strip. (FIG. 8). STEP 2: Two screws installed in the top frame. The top decoration panel must be removed from the refrigerator before the screws can be installed. Open the door and gently push the tabs out of the hole in the hinge with a flat blade screwdriver, (both sides). See FIG. 9. Carefully tilt the top decoration panel and lift up to remove from top frame. Be careful not to damage the circuit board and wires. Install the two screws in the top frame, the holes are accessible from underneath. Seal the opening for the screws with aluminum tape.
