Make sure that all horizontal baffl es are the full width of the
inside of the enclosure and are in the correct location. If the
baffl es are not the full width of the enclosure or incorrectly
located, poor cooling performance can result.
If the enclosure depth is 24 inches or more and less than 26 inches (See Art02488):
- Install a wood, aluminum or galvanized steel top baffl e [13] between the top of
the refrigerator and the top of the upper exhaust vent [24].

refrigerator and baffl e overlaps the refrigerator 1 inch or less.
- Make sure that the baffl e is against the wall of the vehicle at the top of the
upper exhaust vent and less than 1/4 inch above the opening for the upper
exhaust vent.
- Install an aluminum or galvanized steel bent-sheet condenser baffl e [26].
- Make sure that the bend of the condenser baffl e is the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
- Make sure that the bend of the condenser baffl e is fl ush with the bottom
edge of the door frame of the upper side-wall exhaust vent.
- Make sure that the top edge of the condenser baffl e is 1/4 inch or less [15]
from the lower rear corner of the condenser.
If the enclosure depth is 26 inches or more (See Art02489):
- Install a wood, aluminum or galvanized steel top baffl e [13] between the top
of the refrigerator and the top of the upper exhaust vent [24].

the refrigerator and that the baffl e overlaps the refrigerator 1 inch or
less.

the upper exhaust vent and less than 1/4 inch [15] above the opening
for the upper exhaust vent.
- Install a solid box baffl e [21] between the lower intake vent and the upper
exhaust vent.
