Draught-free installation
The refrigerator must be sealed in accordance with EN 1949.
Illustrated below is a typical approved method of sealing.
Proposal :
Using the Installation Sealing Kit from Dometic
(available from Dometic)
Insert lipped seals (A) into the installation recesses
at the bottom and at each side (FIG 1, 2, 3).
Insert deflector plate (B), fitted with a lipped seal (A)
of heavy-duty, non- flammable material, into the
installation recess (see Fig. 4).
Insert deflector plate (B) in such a way that the hot
air escapes through the air vent grille into the open
air. Affix the discharge plate to the caravan wall, not
to the refrigerator !
In addition, discharge plate (B) with its lipped seal
(A) must seal the refrigerator off from the living area
(see FIG. 1,4).
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level in the
recess.
Finally, push the refrigerator into the recess from the front.
This installation option facilitates the removal and installation of the appliance
for servicing.
Comment:
Other methods of sealing may be approved. However the chosen method must pre-
vent draughts entering the living space of the motorhome. Failure to seal correctly will
allow warm air to collect around the refrigerator and its performance will be affected.
If the cavity between the vehicles wall and the refrigerator is sealed so that fumes
cannot penetrate the living area it is possible to vent the flue gas directly through the
upper grille
Do not use any kind of aluminium flue pipe (e.g. T-piece) to lead the flue gas out.
