4.0 Installation instructions
4.1Installation
WARNING!
The appliance may be installed by authori- sed personnel only!
The unit and the exhaust duct system must be in principle installed so that it is accessible for maintenance work, can be easily installed and dismantled and removed from the vehicle wit− hout great effort.
Installation and connection of the appliance must comply with the latest technical regulati- ons, as follows:
The electrical installation must comply with national and local regulations.
The gas installation must comply with national and local regulations.
European Standards EN 1949
European Standards EN 60335−1,
EN 60335−2−24, EN 1648−1 , EN 1648−2
The appliance must 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!
Deviations from these installation instructi- ons without prior notification of Dometic result in Dometic GmbH's warranty obligati- ons becoming void!
4.1.1 Side 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. (Fig. 5, Clearance door/ventilation grille at least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be impaired which causes a loss in cooling perfor− mance. Awnings are often placed at the door side of a caravan. This complicates evacuation of combustion gases and heat through the ventila− tion grilles (loss in cooling performance)!
(Fig. 5) The air vent grilles are blocked. There must be a distance between the door and the air vents of at least 25 mm!
If the door/grille distance is between 25 mm and 45 mm, we recommend installing a Dometic ventilation kit (item no. 241 2985 − 00/0) to achieve an optimal cooling performance in high ambient temperatures.

(Fig. 6 )The air vent grilles offer an unobstructed dissipation of heat and exhaust gas even when the door is opened.

blocked!
OK!
