INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTION
This appliance is designed for storage of foods and
storage of frozen foods and making ice.
This appliance is certified under the latest edition of
ANSI Z21.19•CSA 1.4 Refrigerators using gas fuel.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in
absence of local codes, the following standards as ap-
plicable.
In the U.S. the installation must conform with:
1. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
(latest edition).
2. Recreational Vehicles Code, ANSI A119.2 (latest
edition)
3. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280.
If an external electrical source is utilized, the refrigera-
tor, when installed, must be electrically grounded in ac-
cordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - (lat-
est edition).
In CANADA, the installation must conform with:
1. Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1
2. CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicles.
3. Current CSA Z240.4, Gas-equipped Recreational
Vehicles and Mobile Housing.
If an external electrical source is utilized, the refrigera-
tor, when installed, must be electrically grounded in ac-
cordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, Parts
I and II - (latest edition).
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 14.
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 heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent
of the recommended kits is provided with proper size
openings. The flow of combustion 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 centered on the back of the refrigerator.
CERTIFIED INSTALLATION
Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower
side vent or optional one upper side vent and one lower
side vent. For “Certified Vent System Kits” see page 14.
For further information contact your dealer or distribu-
tor.
METHODS OF INSTALLATION
The method of installation is shown in FIG. 3a and 3b. It
is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions
be strictly maintained, as the performance of the refrig-
erator is dependent on adequate flow of air over the rear
of the refrigerator.
