Installing The Refrigerator In A Draft-Proof Location - Dometic RML 10.4 Montageanleitung

Installing the refrigerator
• A distance of more than 25 mm between the refrigerator and rear wall leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
Reduce the space behind the refrigerator to create adequate air inlet and outlet
ventilation (fig. 4, page 4). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.
• If the minimum distance between the air inlet and outlet vents cannot be met, a
roof vent must be installed instead of the air outlet vent.
– The roof vent should be installed directly above the back of the refrigerator as
far as this is possible. Use an air duct (fig. 5 1, page 5) if you need to install
the roof vent offset; otherwise, heat will accumulate there.
– The distance between the air inlet vent and the roof vent must be at least
1350 mm (fig. 5, page 5).
– If a roof air conditioner is provided, the distance between the roof vent
(fig. 6 1, page 5) and the air outlet of the roof air conditioner (fig. 6 2,
page 5) must be at least 300 mm.
• The refrigerator must not be installed at the side of the air inlet and outlet vents as
this leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the
refrigerator.
• The air inlet and outlet vents must not be covered by vehicle parts (such as an
open door or by installing accessories such as bicycle racks) while operating.
• Install the refrigerator so that it is protected from excessive heat, as this leads to
poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator must be installed in a draft-proof location.

Installing the refrigerator in a draft-proof location

!
WARNING! Fire hazard!
• Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or
similar for the draft-proof installation.
• Position the device so that no connection cable is damaged or
pinched.
• Do not use multiple sockets or portable power adapters behind the
device.
Gas-powered refrigerators in camper vans or mobile homes must be installed in a
draft-free location. This means that the combustion air is not extracted from the inte-
rior and the exhaust fumes are prevented from directly entering the living space.
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the inte-
rior of the vehicle.
