INSTALLATION
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. Openings for air supply or for venting of combustion products shall have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.
Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this instruction manual have been certified for use with the refrigerator models listed in the table. For “Certified Vent System Kits” see page 19.
The ventilation kits must be installed and used without modification. An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator compartment must be provided for ventilation of
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.
GAS CONNECTION
Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual gas valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE (UNF 5/8"
! WARNING
DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regu- lator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water column.
When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi, the refrigerator and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply pip- ing system.
When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psi, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its indi- vidual manual shut off valve.
In case detailed instructions on the installation and con- nection to the gas supply are required, contact your dealer or distributor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
120 Volts AC Connection
The refrigerator is equipped with a
The free length of the cord is 2 feet and therefore rec- ommended that the receptacle be located to the right side (opposite side of refrigerator burner assembly) of the refrigerator (viewed from the rear). The receptacle should be 3” (from the bottom of the plastic receptacle) above the refrigerator mounting floor. (see FIG. 3). This allows easy access through the vent door. The cord should be routed to avoid direct contact with the burner cover, flue cover or any other components that could damage the cord insulation.

12 Volts DC Connection
The refrigerator model NDA 1402 require a continuous 12 volt DC supply to maintain the automatic energy se- lector system and the auto defrost control system to func- tion.
The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative
Do not use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the conductors.
Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route to the DC supply.
It is important that the wires to the
Recommended conductor wires size and total conduc- tor wires length are found in the table below.
Length | Minimum Wire Size | |
|
|
|
<33 ft. | (<10m) | 12 AWG |
|
|
|
33 - 66 ft. | (10 - 20m) | 10 AWG |
|
|
|
>66 ft. | (>20m) | 8 AWG |
|

Example: If the distance between the refrigerator and the 12V DC supply is 20 ft., the total wire length is 40 ft. and a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
