Installation instructions

The installation, servicing and gas installation must be performed by an authorised/qualified person. The refrigerator must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations, AS5601 “Gas Installations” and any other statutory regulations.

Ventilation requirements

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. Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent.

We recommend fitting the Dometic ventilation system, which is specially developed by Dometic for this purpose. The ven- tilation kits must be installed and used without modification.

An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigera- tor compartment must 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 combus- tion and ventilating 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 cen- tred on the back of the refrigerator. For further information contact your dealer or distributor.
