- Make sure there is less than 1/4 inch clearance [715] between the baffle and the top of the refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffle is the full width of the inside of the enclosure.
- If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install the roof exhaust vent directly above the condenser [11] of the refrigerator
