An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigera­tor compartment has to be provided for ventilation of heavier­than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is
provided with proper size openings. The flow of combustion and
ventilating air must not be obstructed.

It is of especially importance that the airflow
around the burner housing, the boiler insula­tion and the flow of combustion gases must not
be obstructed. Items placed in the vicinity of the
refrigerator compartment accordingly must be
secured away from the refrigerator tubing and
flue.

The lower side vent is fitted with a panel, which provides an ad­equate access opening for ready serviceability of the burner and
control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be centered on
the back of the refrigerator.
