Installation

4.0 Installation instructions

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.

 Electrical wiring regulations

 The gas installation must comply with

national and local regulations.

 AS 5601- Gas Installations

NZ 5262 - Gas Appliance Safety

 The appliance must be installed in such

a way that it is shielded from excessive

heat radiation.

Excessive heat impairs performance and rai-

ses the energy consumption of the refrigera-

tor!

4.1 Installation

Deviations from these installation instruc-

tions without prior notification of Dometic

result in Dometic GmbH's warranty obliga-

tions becoming void!

The appliance may be installed by authori-

sed personnel only!

WARNING!

(Fig. 6) The air vent grilles offer an unobstruc-

ted dissipation of heat and exhaust gas even

when the door is opened.

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

performance. Awnings are often placed at the

door side of a caravan. This complicates eva-

cuation of combustion gases and heat through

the ventilation grilles (loss in cooling perfor-

mance)!

(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 to achieve an optimal

cooling performance in high ambient tempera-

tures.
