This appliance is designed for storage of food and storage of frozen food and making ice.

The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certi- fied by A.G.A. under ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator Standard for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Association. The certifications are, however, contingent on the installation being made in accordance with the following instructions as applicable.

In the U.S.A., the installation must conform with:

1.National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition)

2.Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280

3.Recreational Vehicles ANSI A119.2-(latest edition).

The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-(latest edition) when installed if an external alternating current electrical source is utilized.

4. Any applicable local code.

In Canada, the installation must conform with:

1.Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes

2.Current CSA Standard Z 240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUSING

3.Any applicable local code

The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C 22 Parts 1 and 2.

2. VENTILATION

The installation shall be made in such a manner as to separate the combustion system from the living space of the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Louver ope- nings must have a minimum dimension of 1/4 inch for air supply or venting of combustion products.

Proper installation requires one fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this instruction manual have been certified for use with the refrigerator model listed in the Table. For "Certified Vent System Kits" see Section B. The ventilation kits must be installed and used without modification. An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator com- partment must be provided for ventilation of heavier- than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with properly sized openings. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. The lower side vent is fitted with a panel which provides an adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be centered on the back of the refrigerator.

3. CERTIFIED INSTALLATION

Certified installations require one upper side vent and one lower side vent.

For certified vent system kits, see Section B.

For further information, contact your dealer or distributor.

4. METHOD OF INSTALLATION

The methods of installation are shown in FIG. 1 & FIG. 1A. It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimen- sions are strictly maintained as the performance of

the refrigerator is dependent on adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator.

NOTE: The upper vent should be centered over the condenser coil at the back of the refrigerator.
