NOTICE!
•
The refrigerator may not be installed in the rear of mobile homes with
the door pointing in the direction of travel without the manufac-
turer's approval.
•
Use exclusively original Dometic ventilation grills to ensure safe
operation.
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
•
To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not exceed an
angle of 3 °.
Park the vehicle horizontally for this purpose.
•
The refrigerator must be installed so that it is easily accessible for service work,
easy to de-install and install and can be easily removed from the vehicle.
•
The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. 1, page 3
The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 2 1, page 3) and an outlet
•
vent (fig. 2 2, page 3) with ventilation grills so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit ventilation grill as flush as possible with the base of the instal-
lation niche.
– Outlet vent: fit as far above the refrigerator as possible.
– The distance between the air inlet and outlet vents must be at least 1250 mm
(fig. 3, page 4).
Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 2 3, page 3) above the refrigerator so that the
•
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
•
The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least 15 mm
but no more than 25 mm.
