Assemble The Enclosure; Ventilation Requirements - Norcold DE 0041 Manuel D'installation

- To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.
- A means for disconnection from the supply mains must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the
wiring rules.
- It is necessary to allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. This disconnection may be
acheived by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
!
CAUTION
- The front and rear of the refrigerator have sharp edges and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on the
refrigerator, use caution and wear cut resistant gloves.

Assemble the Enclosure

Make sure that the enclosure is the correct size:
- For DE / EV 0041 models - 30 7/8 inches high x 23 1/4 inches wide x 23 1/2 inches deep.
- For DC / DE / EV 0061 models - 52 7/8 inches high x 23 1/4 inches wide x 23 3/4 inches deep.
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.
Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a furnace vent, etc.

Ventilation Requirements

This refrigerator is made for a built-in installation. Correct ventilation is necessary for the correct operation of the refrigerator and to
increase the life of the refrigerator cooling system.
Ventilation allows the natural air flow that is necessary for good refrigeration. Cooler air comes in through a lower intake vent, goes
around the refrigerator coils where it removes the excess heat from the refrigerator components, and goes out through an upper
exhaust vent. If this air flow is blocked or decreased, the refrigerator will not cool correctly. Do not install the vents into completely
enclosed areas such as closets or cabinets.
The refrigerator has built in vents at the top and at the bottom. Make sure that the flow of air through these
!
CAUTION
vents is not blocked in any way. Blockage of air through these vents can cause:
- shortened life of the refrigerator cooling unit.
- poor cooling performance of the refrigerator.
- continuous operation of the refrigerator.
- fast battery discharge.
- void of the refrigerator warranty.
