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.
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!
4.1 Installation
Deviations from these installation instructi-
ons without prior notification of Dometic
result in Dometic GmbH's warranty obligati-
ons becoming void!
The appliance may be installed by authori-
sed personnel only!
WARNING!
(Fig. 6 )The air vent grilles offer an unobstructed
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 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.
