Ventilation requirements

General information

Ventilation is one of the requirements for proper cooling unit operation. The installation should be made in such a manner as to separate the combustion system from the living space of the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Openings for air supply or for venting of combustion products should have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.

Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent. Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower side vent. The ventilation kits shown in this manual have been certified for use with the different models as displayed in the “Certified Vent System Kits” table.

The ventilation kits must be installed and used without modification! An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator compartment has to be provided for ventilation of heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with proper size openings. The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed.

CAUTION

It is of especially importance that the airflow around the burner housing, the boiler insula- tion and the flow of combustion gases must not be obstructed. Items placed in the vicinity of the refrigerator compartment accordingly must be secured away from the refrigerator tubing and flue.

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.
