Assemble The Enclosure; Install The Vent /Exhaust Assembly; Reverse The Door Swing (Optional) - Norcold 3163X Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

The refrigerator has a air intake vent which is located at the
bottom front of the refrigerator. The installer must provide the
upper air exhaust vent. The upper air exhaust vent must:
- be a minimum of 30 square inches.
- be located above the top surface of the refrigerator to allow
the hot air to escape from above the refrigerator.
The refrigerator has a DC ventilation fan to help the air flow
across refrigerator cooling system when operating the refrigerator
in propane gas mode.

Assemble the Enclosure

1. Make sure the enclosure is 24.13 - 24.19 inches high x 25.63
- 25.76 inches wide x 16.88 inches deep. These dimensions:
- Allow installation and removal of the refrigerator.
- Give the clearances necessary for air circulation around the
refrigerator cooling system.
2. Make sure the floor is solid and level.
- The floor must be metal or a wood panel and extend the full
width and depth of the enclosure.
- The floor must be able to support the weight of the
refrigerator and its contents.
3. Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a
furnace vent, a hot water heater vent, etc.
4. The clearance from the refrigerator's left side (as facing the
front of the refrigerator) to the exterior wall of the vehicle is
important. This is the area in which the flexible pipes will be
attached to the vent housing during installation. Two vent /
exhaust assembly and flexible pipe kits are available which will
let you install the refrigerator into most vehicles. The maximum
clearances allowed to the exterior wall of the vehicle for each
kit and the vent / exhaust assembly locations are as shown
below (See Art00718 and Art00179). Also allow the following
clearances for each kit to provide adequate access to the
burner [78] of the refrigerator cooling system for flame visual
observation and for service.

Install the Vent /Exhaust Assembly

1. The vent housing will fit exterior vehicle walls with a thickness
of between .030 inch minimum and 1.250 inch maximum.
2. Use Art00717 to assemble the vent / exhaust assembly.

3. Cut the opening through the vehicle exterior wall.
- Make sure that the opening is not too low.
- The intake vent and the exhaust vent flexible pipe must
rise from the refrigerator to the vent / exhaust assembly.
