5 Intended use

The RML9330, RML9331, RML9335, RML9430, RML9431 and RML9435 refrigerators are designed for installation in caravans or motorhomes. They are only suitable for cooling and storing foodstuffs. The refrigerators are not intended for the proper storage of medicine.

The refrigerators are 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 refrigerators may not be run on natural gas or city gas.

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 °. 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

20 mm.

 The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when

the vehicle is in motion. Note the following dimensions here (H x W x D in mm): – RML9330/9331/9335: 1293 x 420 x 586.5 (fig. 1, page 2) – RML9430/9431/9435: 1293 x 468 x 553 (fig. 2, page 2)

 The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 3 1, page 3) and

an outlet vent (fig. 3 2, 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 to the floor of

the installation niche with a minimum cross-section of 500 cm². – Outlet vent: fit as far above the refrigerator as possible. – The distance between the air inlet and outlet vents must be at least

1050 mm (fig. 4, page 3).

 Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 3 3, page 3) above the refrigerator so

that the heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.

Installing the refrigerator RML9330 – RML9435

 If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the

ground, an additional inlet vent (fig. 3 4, page 3) must be provided in the floor for releasing leaked gas.

 A distance of more than 40 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. 5, page 4). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.

 If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be

met, 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. 6 1, page 4)

if you need to install the roof vent offset, otherwise heat will accumu-

late there. – The distance between the air inlet vent and the roof vent must be at

least 1350 mm (fig. 6, page 4). – If a roof air conditioner is provided, the distance between the roof vent

(fig. 7 1, page 5) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner

(fig. 7 2, 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 a fan kit for distances of 25 mm – 45 mm between the rear wall of

the refrigerator and air outlet vent (see chapter “Accessories” on page 16).

 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 draught-proof location in

accordance with EN 1949, see chapter “Installing the refrigerator in a draught-proof location” on page 19.

RML9330 – RML9435 Installing the refrigerator

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. 8 1, 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.

6.3 Making air inlet and outlet vents

➤ Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall with the

size of 410 mm x 249 mm. When doing so, observe the information, see chapter “Preparing the installation” on page 17.

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. 3 4, page 3) behind the refrigerator

near the gas burner.

➤ Shield the end of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt

from getting inside while driving (fig. 9, 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.

Installing the refrigerator RML9330 – RML9435

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 information, see chapter “Preparing the installation” on page 17.

6.4 Installing the ventilation grille

➤ Ensure the installation frame is water resistant (fig. a, page 6).

➤ Insert the installation frame and screw it down tightly (fig. b, page 6).
