General Information

WARNING

This refrigerator is not intended to be operated as a Free-Standing refrigerator (i.e. the products of combus- tion must be completely isolated from the living area) or installed in such a way as to conflict with these installation instructions. Unapproved installations could result in safety risks or performance problems.

The model 3163 is designed for built-in installation and operates on propane gas, 120 volts AC, or 12 volts DC.

The propane gas mode of operation is that of a sealed combustion unit. A sealed combustion installation util- izes a single fresh vent-air intake/exhaust assembly to supply fresh air to the burner and to remove the prod- ucts of combustion. This insures the products of com- bustion are isolated from the living area of the vehicle. The vent-air intake/exhaust assembly is routed through the vehicle’s outside wall and is connected to the refrigerator’s burner assembly and exhaust flue tube by flexible piping. The vent-air intake/exhaust assembly used for this installation has been certified for this refrigerator and must not be modified.

Direct Vent Requirements

Interior Ventilation

The refrigerator’s cooling system requires a continual air flow to maintain proper refrigeration. An inlet and exhaust vent is required to insure adequate air flow. The refrigerator is equipped with an inlet vent located at the bottom front of the refrigerator. The installer is required to provide the exhaust vent. The exhaust vent must have a cross sectional area of 30 square inches minimum. The exhaust vent is to be installed above the top surface of the refrigerator so as not to trap hot air generated by the cooling unit. The refrigerator is equipped with a DC ventilation fan to assist the air flow across the refrigerator’s cooling system while operating the refrigerator in the Gas mode.

Ventilation Fan

A thermostat controlled mechanical fan is used to move air across the refrigerator’s cooling system. The

thermostat is calibrated to activate the fan whenever the vehicle’s interior temperature reaches 85 degrees or higher.

When leaving the vehicle unattended, it is advisable to leave windows or roof exhaust vents open to main- tain the vehicle’s interior temperature below 85 de- grees. This will allow the refrigerator to operate efficiently, minimize fan operation, and limit current draw from the battery.

WARNING

Improper location and installation can cause injury or property damage. This refrigerator and it’s vents are design certified by the American Gas Association and the Canadian Gas Association. Any deviation or sub-
