6.0INSTALLATION GUIDE
On installation of the appliance, the technical and administrative regulations of the country in which the vehicle will first be used must be adhered to. Otherwise the refrigerator must be installed as described in these instructions. In some OEM appli- cations it may not be possible for these instructions to be followed exactly. In this case an authorised Dometic representative may issue supplementary instruction.
6.1Installation
The appliance and its fume extraction shall be installed in such a way as to be acces- sible for servicing at all times and must be capable of easy removal and installation.
The appliance may only be installed by authorised personnel. Installation and connection of the appliance must comply with the latest technical regulations.
It must be installed in accordance with
the manufacturer's installation instructions,
local gas fitting regulations,
municipal building codes,
electrical wiring regulations,
AS 5601- Gas Installations
and any other statutory regulations.
The appliance shall be installed in such a way that it is shielded from excessive heat radiation.
Excessive heat impairs performance and raises the energy consumption of the refrigerator.
Any installation that is not carried out by authorised persons will jeopardize the manufacturer's guarantee.
6.1.1Side installation
If the appliance is installed on the same side of the vehicle as the entrance door, it is desirable that the door does not cover the refrigerator’s vents.
If this cannot be avoided there must be a gap of at least 25mm between the door and the vents.
6.1.2Rear installation
If the refrigerator is mounted at the rear of the vehicle you must ensure the lower grille is not covered by the bumper or rear lights.
This would be prevent the air from circulating properly and cause problems in warm weather.
Air vent grille not blocked: OK!
