INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN
The refrigerator is intended for installation in a motor-
home, and the description relates to this application.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat
from hot objects.
Excessive heat irradiation impairs performance and
leads to increased energy consumption. For this reason
the refrigerator should be installed if possible not at the
entrance side of the vehicle - normally orientated south
and often with an awning which would impair the disper-
sion of heat and combustion gases from the ventilation
openings.
It is not a good practice to install the refrigerator so that
the vent openings are covered by the vehicle’s entrance
door when this is set open. This would reduce the
ventilation airflow to the cooling unit and reduce refrigera-
tion performance.
The enclosure
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial
enclosure and must be level, the dimensions are shown
in TECHNICAL DATA.
The bottom of the enclosure must be horizontal and even
so that the refrigerator can be easily pushed into place.
It must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the
refrigerator.
Battens must be installed at the bottom, sides and top
of the enclosure and fitted with sealing strips.
Slide in the refrigerator until it is flush with the front of
the recess. There must be 10-20 mm free space behind
the refrigerator
Six fasteners are fitted in plastic bushings in the side
walls of the refrigerator, fig. 2. They are used for securing
the refrigerator in the enclosure.
The side walls of the enclosure and/or any wooden
braces installed to hold the refrigerator must be dimen-
sioned to seat the screws securely, also considering the
forces due to the movement of the vehicle.
With the refrigerator in place, drive the screws through
the lining of the refrigerator into the walls of the enclosure.
There must not be more than 3 mm of clearance be-
tween refrigerator and enclosure on each side. If neces-
sary, wooden strips or similar should be fitted.
Note: This is the only approved means of securing the
refrigerator to the enclosure and to the vehicle. Fasteners
penetrating other parts of the insulation (PU) foam of the
refrigerator might damage components like electric
wiring etc.
VENTILATION OF THE UNIT
At high ambient temperatures the refrigeration unit will
only perform adequately when properly ventilated.
Side ventilation.
The refrigerator unit is ventilated via two openings in the
wall of the motorhome (fig. 3a).
Fresh air enters through the lower opening and warm air
is discharged through the upper one.
The lower opening should be located at floor level (to
allow any leaking gas to escape to the outside).
The upper ventilation opening should be located above
the condenser, as high as possible, to ensure good
ventilation.
Roof ventilation
The ventilation of the cooling unit can also be done via
one opening in the wall of the motorhome and one on
the roof for the roof vent (fig. 3 b).
Fresh air enters through the lower opening and warm air
is discharged through the roof vent.
Ventilation grilles
We recommend fitting 2 side vents, model L500,
alternative one L500 and one roof vent model R500,
which are specially developed by Electrolux for this
purpose.
The L500-ventilation grilles permit inspection and small
repairs to be carried out without the necessity to remove
the refrigerator from the recess.
