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 RM5385 refrigerator also always requires a perma-
nent DC supply.

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 5).
• 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, fig. 1,
page 3):
– RM5310: 618 x 486 x 474
– RM5330: 821 x 486 x 474
– RM5380: 821 x 486 x 474
– RM5385: 821 x 486 x 474
• The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 2 2, page 4) and an outlet
vent (fig. 2 3, page 4) 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. 2 1, page 4) with a minimum cross-section of 250 cm
– Outlet vent: fit above the refrigerator as far as possible. A ventilation grille
with integrated flue duct can also be used here.
• If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the ground,
an additional inlet vent (fig. 2 5, page 4) must be provided in the floor for
releasing leaked gas.
