INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR INTO

THE ENCLOSURE

1. Make sure that the height of the enclosure is between

59.875 and 60.125 inches for HE-08xx models or between

52.875 and 53.125 inches for HE-06xx models. The width of

the enclosure must be between 23.50 and 23.65 inches. The

depth of the enclosure should be at least 24.00 inches as

illustrated in Fig 8A.

2. The floor must be solid and level and must be able to

support the weight of the refrigerator and contents.

Never install the refrigerator directly on carpeting.

3. When installing the refrigerator into the enclosure recess, all

areas within the recess must be sealed to prevent exhaust

fumes from entering the living space. Insure that the

combustion seal is compressed between the front mounting

flange of the refrigerator and all sides including the top and

bottom of the enclosure. The bottom trim must be installed so

that the mounting holes line up with the two holes in the

bottom flange (Fig 12).

4. The refrigerator must be secured in place with four wood

screws. Two screws secure the bottom flange and the bottom

trim to the bottom of the enclosure and 2 screws secure the

top flange to the top of the enclosure.

5. The refrigerator is certified to operate in an enclosure with

zero clearance to combustible materials refrigerator as

illustrated in Fig. 7 for the top (G), sides (K), bottom (L) and

back (M) of the refrigerator.

VENTILATION

Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake vent and

one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits for this refrigerator

are certified for use with these models and must be installed

exactly as written in this manual without modification. Any other

installation method voids both the certification and the factory

warranty of the refrigerator.

VENT CUTOUT DIMENSIONS (Rough Opening)

Upper Roof Vent Base 24”x5¼“

Side Vent Cutout Dims 13¾“x21½“

INSTALLATION OF LOWER VENT

The bottom of the opening of the lower fresh air intake should be

even with floor of the enclosure. With the lower vent in this

position, it can provide a path for any leaking propane fumes to

escape and not collect at the

floor level. The center of the lower vent should be directly behind

the center of the refrigerator as illustrated in Fig. 8.

INSTALLATION OF UPPER ROOF VENT

The upper roof vent should be aligned directly above the

refrigerator with a free and unobstructed path for the air flow

risingupfromtherefrigerator’scondenser.

Ideally the roof vent is installed directly above the condenser of

the refrigerator as shown in Fig. 9. Other installations require the

roof vent to be positioned more in the center of the vehicle which

requires the construction of a special baffle section(marked“C”)

to angle the air back to the roof vent as shown in Fig 10.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

My fridge-freezer makes a bubbling sound, is that normal? Verified

Modern fridge-freezers make use of an environmentally friendly cooling agent. During the cooling process this substance turns into a gas, which can cause a bubbling and/or hissing sound. This is perfectly normal.

I bought a new fridge-freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.
