INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

Make sure the ﬂ oor is solid and level.

The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure

and level.

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.

All areas within the recess have to be sealed. Verify 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. The sealing should provide a

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

It is important to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in

enclosure since failure in doing that can cause leakage between

the frame and cabinet!

Plastic caps are provided to cover the screw holes in the top

decoration.

Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top

of the refrigerator greater den 1½ inches should be blocked.

The heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator will become

trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot and

reduce the efﬁ ciency of the refrigerator.

After the refrigerator has been installed (ensuring a combustion

seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the

enclosure with six screws (not included).

Install the six screws in the following order:

Two screws installed through the front base.

Two screws installed in the top frame.

Two screws installed in the rear base.

The refrigerator is provided with a lower front strip (shipped as

a loose part). The front strip is to be attached after the refrigera-

tor is set into the cutout opening.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DRAIN WATER HOSE

A hole must be drilled through ﬂ ooring and the installer needs

to make sure the hose does not kink when run through the ﬂ oor.

Seal around the hose that goes through the drilled hole. If a

longer hose than supplied is required to get the water to drain

outside of the vehicle, the installer will have to supply the extra

length of hose.

CONNECTIONS

Gas connection

Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual

gas valve, which is furnished with a 3/8” SAE (UNF 5/8” -18)

male ﬂ are connection. All completed connections should be ex-

amined for leaks using a solution of liquid detergent and water.

Be careful when working on or near the gas system.

Do not use an open ﬂ ame to check for gas leaks!

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator

to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water

column. When testing the gas supply system at test pressures:

> 1/2 psi

- the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

≤

1/2 psi

- the appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-

off valve.

If detailed instructions on the installation and connection

to the gas supply are required, please contact your dealer or

distributor.

•

Testing LP gas safety shut off

NOTE!

The gas safety shut off must be tested after the refrig-

erator is connected to LP gas supply.

To test the gas safety shut off, follow these steps:

Start the refrigerator and switch to GAS mode.

Check that the gas ﬂ ame is lit and the GAS mode

indicator lamp is on.

Close the manual gas shutoff valve at the back of the

refrigerator.

Wait for one minute. The CHECK indicator lamp

should be lit and the GAS mode indicator lamp

should be off.

Remove the protection cover. Open the manual gas

shutoff valve. Do not change any button positions on

the control panel.

Apply a non corrosive commercial bubble solution

to the burner jet oriﬁ ce. No bubbles should appear at

the opening of the burner jet oriﬁ ce. The presence of

bubbles indicates a defective gas safety shutoff, and

service is required.

If no bubbles were present at the burner jet oriﬁ ce, it

should be rinsed with fresh water. Be careful not to

damage the burner jet oriﬁ ce.

Replace the cover.

Turn off the refrigerator by pressing the ON/OFF

button and then, turn it back on. Normal operation of

the burner should return. Allow the burner to operate

for a minimum of ﬁ ve minutes.

To remove the refrigerator, follow these steps:

Cap the gas supply line.

Loosen the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the

enclosure.

Slide the refrigerator out of the compartment.

When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing

strips are properly positioned. Check all connections for gas

leaks. Replacement is the reverse of removal.

Electrical connection

120 V AC connection

The refrigerator is equipped with a grounded three-prong plug

for your protection against shock hazards. It should be plugged

directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do

not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug!

The free length of the cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended

that the receptacle be located to the left side (opposite side of

refrigerator burner assembly) of the refrigerator (viewed from

the rear). The receptacle should be 3” (from the bottom of the

plastic receptacle) above the refrigerator mounting ﬂ oor. This

allows easy access through the vent door. The cord should be

routed to avoid direct contact with the burner cover, ﬂ ue cover

or any other components that could damage the cord insulation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL

Before removing the refrigerator:

Verify that the AC and DC voltage leads are disconnected.

Shut off the gas supply.

Disconnect the gas supply line at the rear of the refrigerator.

Always use a back up wrench when loosening and tighten-

ing connections.

3”

12 V DC connection

This refrigerator model is not designed for 12 V DC operation

of the cooling system; however, a continuous 12 V DC must be

supplied to the refrigerator to operate the controls.

Use a minimum of a 14 gauge wire between the battery and

refrigerator to supply the control voltage. The connection is

made to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals located at

the rear of the refrigerator. Correct polarity must be observed

when connecting to the DC supply.

NOTE!

Do not use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the

conductors. Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route to

the DC supply.
