Norcold N61X Manuel D'installation page 5

- Install two baffles [1] to prevent stagnant hot air in the
area [14] above the refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffles are the full width of the inside
of the enclosure.
- Make sure that the baffles are no more than 45°
from vertical [0].
- Put one baffle between the top rear edge of the
refrigerator and the inside edge of the upper
exhaust vent opening.
- Put the other baffle between the outside edge of the
upper exhaust vent opening and the side wall of the
vehicle.
- If the depth of the enclosure is 4 inches or more and is less
than 5 inches, no baffles are necessary at the rear of the
enclosure.
- If the depth of the enclosure is 5 inches or more and is
less than 6 inches, add two baffles [16] to the rear of the
enclosure (See Art01598 and Art01599).
- Put one baffle 18 inches to 18 1/ inches above the
bottom of the enclosure [17] (4 1/4 inches to 4 /4
inches above the top of the lower intake vent opening
REF) [18].
- Put the other baffle at the lowest edge of the condenser
[11] of the refrigerator.
- Make sure that the baffles are 1 inch or less [19]
from the coils [10] and condenser of the refrigerator.
- Make sure that the baffles are the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
- If the depth of the enclosure is more than 6 inches, install
a wood or an aluminum or galvanized sheet solid box
baffle [1] in the rear of the enclosure (See Art01617 and
Art01618).
- Make sure that the bottom of the solid box baffle is
18 inches to 18 1/ inches above the bottom of the
enclosure [17] (4 1/4 inches to 4 /4 inches above the
top of the lower intake vent opening REF) [18] .
- Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is
perpendicular to the bottom of the enclosure.
- Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is either
against the top of the enclosure or against the angled
baffle [1] (depending on the vehicle design).
- Make sure that the solid box baffle is one inch or
less [19] from the coils [10] and condenser of the
refrigerator.
- Make sure that the solid box baffle is the full width
of the inside of the enclosure.
- If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install a roof
exhaust vent, install an upper side-wall exhaust vent.
NOTE: The refrigerator is .7 in. min. to 4.0 in. max. from
the rear of the breaker to the rear of the condenser
[22]. N61X models are 47.1 in. min. to 47.4 in. max.
from the bottom of the refrigerator to the bottom of
the refrigerator condenser [23]. N81X models are
54.1 in. min. to 54.4 in. max. from the bottom of the
refrigerator to the bottom of the refrigerator condenser
[] (See Art01601).
!
CAUTION:
Only use an upper side-wall exhaust
vent on refrigerator models that are equipped with a
fan. If you use an upper side-wall exhaust vent on a
refrigerator model that is not equipped with a fan, the
refrigerator cooling performance will be poor.
- Make sure the refrigerator model is equipped with a fan.
- Install the upper side-wall exhaust vent [4] (See
Art0159 and Art0159).
- For N61X models, make sure the distance [5] from
the bottom of the enclosure to the top of the rough
opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 55
inches.
- For N81X models, make sure the distance [5] from
the bottom of the enclosure to the top of the rough
opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 6
inches.
- Align the upper exhaust vent [4] horizontally above
the lower intake vent [9] of the refrigerator.
- To prevent stagnant hot air in the area above the
refrigerator, install an aluminum or galvanized steel
sheet baffle [1] between the top of the refrigerator
and the top of the upper exhaust vent.
- Make sure there is less than 1/4 inch clearance
between the baffle and the top of the
refrigerator and that the baffle overlaps the
refrigerator 1 inch or less.
- Make sure that the baffle is against the wall of
the vehicle at the top of the upper exhaust vent
and 1/4 inch or less from the top of the opening
for the upper exhaust vent [15].
