4 Intended use
The RM(x)85x6 refrigerator is designed for installation in camper vans or mobile
homes. It is only suitable for cooling and storing foodstuffs. The refrigerator is not
intended for proper storage of medicine.
!
The refrigerator is designed to be operated on a DC power supply and an AC socket
and can be independently powered by liquid gas (propane or butane). The refriger-
ator may not be run on natural gas or city gas.
5 Installing the refrigerator
5.1 Preparing the installation
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
•To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not exceed an
angle of 3°.
To do this, park the vehicle on a level surface and check to see if the ice-cube tray
is flat in the refrigerator.
•The refrigerator must be installed so that it is easily accessible for service work,
easy to de-install and install and can be easily removed from the vehicle.
•The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least 15 mm.
•The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the following dimensions in this regard (fig. 1, page 2 to
fig. 7, page 3).
•The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 81, page 3) and an outlet
vent (fig. 82, page 3) with ventilation grills so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit the ventilation grill as flush as possible to the floor of the
installation niche with a minimum cross-section of 400 cm2.
– If this is not possible, install the ventilation opening in the floor of the camper
van.
– Outlet vent: fit as far above the refrigerator as possible.
– Ensure the correct distance between the air inlet vent and air outlet vent
(fig. 9, page 3).
WARNING! Health hazard!
Please check if the cooling capacity of the refrigerator is suitable for stor-
ing the food you wish to cool.
RM(x) 8xx6-I-EN-DE.book Seite 18 Dienstag, 12. Juni 2018 7:12 19

RM(x)8xx6 Installing the refrigerator

•Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 83, page 3) above the refrigerator so that the
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
•If the ventilation grill of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the ground,
an additional inlet vent (fig. 84, page 3) must be provided in the floor for
releasing leaked gas.
•A distance of more than 25 mm between the refrigerator and rear wall leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
Reduce the space behind the refrigerator to create adequate air inlet and outlet
ventilation (fig. 0, page 4). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.
•If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be
observed, 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 (fig. a1, page 4) if you need to install
the roof vent offset; otherwise, heat will accumulate there.
– Ensure the distance between the air inlet vent and the roof vent t (fig. a,
page 4).
– If a roof air conditioner is provided, the distance between the roof vent
(fig. b1, page 5) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner (fig. b2,
page 5) 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.
•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.
European standards: EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 and EN 1648-2.
•The gas installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European standard: EN 1949.
•The refrigerator must be installed in a draft-free location in accordance with EN
1949
(see chapter “Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof location” on page 19).
5.2 Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof location
Gas-powered refrigerators in camper vans or mobile homes must be installed in a
draft-free location according to EN 1949. This means that the combustion air is not
extracted from the interior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly enter-
ing the living space.

A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the
interior of the vehicle.
!
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation
for maintenance purposes.
➤Attach the sealing lips (fig. c1, page 5) to a stop rail behind the refrigerator, for
example, by using an adhesive.
➤When installing, push the refrigerator against the stop rails with the sealing lips.
This then seals the space behind the refrigerator to the interior of the vehicle.
5.3 Making air inlet and outlet vents
I
➤Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall with the following
size:
–RM(S)8xx6: 451 x 156 mm (LS200)
–RMD85x6: 490 x 249 mm ( LS300)
➤When doing so, observe the pertinent information (see chapter “Preparing the
installation” on page 18).
If the ventilation grill of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush with the floor of the
niche, you need to install an inlet vent in the floor:
➤Make an air inlet vent of at least ∅20 mm in the floor (fig. 84, page 3) behind
the refrigerator near the gas burner.
➤Shield the end of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt from get-
ting inside while driving (fig. d, page 5).
If you have to use a roof vent instead of the air outlet vent:
➤Cut out a section in the roof. Refer to the roof vent instruction manual for the
required dimensions. When doing so, observe the pertinent information (see
chapter “Preparing the installation” on page 18).
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar
for the draft-proof installation.
NOTE
At high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator can only provide its max-
imum cooling capacity if the optimum ventilation has been provided.
