RUA5208X, RUA6408X, RUA8408X Scope of delivery

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.

(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.

•The outer wall must be fitted with one air inlet ventilation grille (fig. 33a,

page 8) and one outlet ventilation grille (fig. 33b, page 8) so that the heat

generated can be easily released to the outside:

– Lower air inlet vent LS300 must be installed flush to the vehicle floor.

– Upper air outlet vent LS300 must be installed with the bottom of the vent no

lower than equal to the top of the refrigerator cabinet, the bottom of the top

vent can be higher than the cabinet.

•Fit an air deflection plate (fig. 36, page 8) above the condenser so that the heat

does not accumulate in the vehicle.

•Put insulation wool (fig. 31, page 8) on top and sides of the cabinet.

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

floor, an additional vent (fig. 37, page 8 and fig. b, page 16) must be pro-

vided in the floor for releasing any possible gas leakage.
