Safety instructions RMV5301, RMV5305
14
•This refrigerator may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Inade-
quate repairs may cause serious hazards.
•Only use propane or butane gas (not natural gas).
•Only operate the refrigerator at the pressure shown on the type
plate. Only use pressure controllers with a fixed setting which comply
with the national regulations (in Europe EN 12864).
•Dismantle all refrigerator doors for the disposal of the old refrigerator
and leave the shelves in the refrigerator to prevent accidental enclo-
sure and suffocation.
!CAUTION!
•Danger of crushing! Do not put your fingers into the hinge.
•Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the
plug are dry.
ANOTICE!
•Only hold the refrigerator at the body of the refrigerator during trans-
port. Never hold the refrigerator at the absorber unit, the cooling fins,
the gas pipes, the door or the control panel.
•Make sure that the refrigerator circuit is not damaged during transpor-
tation. The refrigerant in the refrigerator circuit is highly flammable.
In the event of any damage to the refrigerator circuit (smell of ammo-
nia):
– Switch off the refrigerator if applicable.
– Avoid naked flames and sparks.
– Air the room well.
•Do not install the refrigerator near naked flames or other heat sources
(heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).
•Danger of overheating!
Always ensure sufficient ventilation so that the heat generated during
operation can dissipate. Make sure that the refrigerator is sufficiently
far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.
•Check that the voltage specification on the type plate is the same as
that of the power supply.
•Do not open the refrigerant circuit under any circumstances.
•Only use the AC connection cable supplied to connect the refrigera-
tor to the AC mains.
•Only use cables with a suitable size.
•Never pull the plug out of the socket by the connection cable.

5 Intended use
The refrigerator is designed for installation in caravans or motorhomes. It is only suit-
able for cooling, freezing and storing foodstuffs. The refrigerator is not intended for
the proper storage of medicine.
The refrigerator is designed to be operated on a DC power supply and an AC socket
and can be powered by liquid gas (propane or butane). The refrigerator may not be
run on natural gas or city gas. The RMV5305 refrigerator also always requires a per-
manent DC supply.

6 Installing the refrigerator
6.1 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°.
Park the vehicle on a level surface with the help of a spirit level.
•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 min. 15 mm –
max. 25 mm (fig. 3, page 4).
•The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the following dimensions here (fig. 1, page 3).
•In the installed state, the door opening angle must be at least 115° for left-hung
and right-hung doors (fig. 6, page 4). Only this will ensure that the freezer com-
partment can be removed or the freezer compartment door opened. This also
applies to the case of the customer changing the side that the door opens on.
•The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 22, page 3) and anoutlet
vent (fig. 23, page 3) with ventilation grilles so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit the ventilation grille as flush as possible underneath the
burner lid (fig. 21, page 3) with a minimum cross-section of 250 cm².
– Outlet vent: fit above the refrigerator as far as possible.
•If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the ground,
an additional inlet vent (fig. 25, page 3) must be provided in the floor for
releasing leaked gas.
•The air vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an open door or by
installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
•There must be sufficient space at the back of the refrigerator for the air to be able
to circulate around the cooling element.
•Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 24, page 3) above the refrigerator so that the
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
•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. 3, page 4). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.
•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.

RMV5301, RMV5305 Installing 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 draught-proof location in accordance with
EN 1949, see chapter “Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location” on
page 17.
6.2 Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location
Gas-powered refrigerators in caravans or motorhomes must be installed in a
draught-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
entering 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. 41, page 4) 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.
6.3 Creating the air vents
I
➤Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall. Observe instructions
when doing this, see chapter “Preparing the installation” on page 16 and the
dimensions in fig. 7and fig. 8, page 5.
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar
for the draught-proof installation.
NOTE
At high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator can only provide its
maximum cooling capacity if the optimum ventilation has been
provided.

If the ventilation grille 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 in the floor (fig. 5, page 4) behind the refrigerator near the
gas burner. The vent pipe must lead directly outside. This allows leaking
unburned gas to escape outside.
➤Shield the end of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt from get-
ting inside while driving (fig. 5, page 4).
6.4 Installing the ventilation grille

Proceed as follows (fig. 9, page 6):
➤Ensure the installation frame is water resistant (A).
➤Insert the installation frame and screw it down tightly (B).
➤Insert the ventilation grille and lock it in place (C).

It must be possible to shut off the refrigerator from the gas line separately by means
of a shut-off device. The shut-off device must be easily accessible.
NOTICE! Beware of damage
Only ever lay the refrigerator on its side and never on its back. Otherwise
the unit may be damaged.
NOTICE!
•This refrigerator may only be connected to the gas supply by a
specialist in accordance with the applicable guidelines and
standards.
•Only use cylinders of propane or butane gas (not natural gas or city
gas) with an approved pressure reduction valve and suitable head.
Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the pres-
sure information on the pressure regulator on the propane or butane
gas cylinder.
•Only operate the refrigerator at the pressure shown on the type
plate.
•Please note the pressures which are permitted in your country. Use a
DIN-DVGW-approved pressure regulator with a fixed setting:
– The following applies for Germany: DIN EN 12864
– The following applies for Europe: EN 732 and EN 1949
NOTE
The refrigerator is equipped for a connection pressure of 30 mbar. Use
a Truma VDR 50/30 back-pressure regulator when connected to a
50 mbar system.
