Installation Manual

Installing the refrigerator RUA5208X, RUA6408X, RUA8408X

• If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be met, a

roof vent must be installed instead of the air outlet vent.

– The roof vent should be installed directly above the back of the refrigerator as

far as this is possible. Use an air duct if you need to install the roof vent

(fig. 6 6) offset, otherwise heat will accumulate there.

– If a roof air conditioner is installed, the distance between the roof vent

(fig. 7 1) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner (fig. 7 2) must be at

least 300 mm.

• The refrigerator must not be installed at the side of the air inlet and outlet vents as

this leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the

refrigerator.

• The air inlet and outlet vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an

open door or by installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.

• A separate flue duct must be installed under the air outlet vent, see chapter

“Installing the flue duct” on page 19.

• 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

including:

– AS/NZS 3001

• The gas installation must comply with national and local regulations including:

– AS/NZS 5601.2 – Gas installations – LP Gas installations in caravans and boats

6 Roof vent

7 Gas escape hole, min. 40 mm – required if lower air vent would not
