Installing The Refrigerator In A Draft-Proof Location - Dometic 10-Serie Montageanleitung

Installing 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.
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation
for maintenance purposes.
Select one of the three versions for draft-proof installation (fig. 7, page 7):
Stop bar behind the fridge (A)
➤ Glue a flexible sealing lip (1) to a stop bar (2) behind the refrigerator (3).
➤ Push the refrigerator-oven combination against the stop bar with the flexible seal-
ing lips.
✔ The space behind the refrigerator is sealed to the interior of the vehicle.
Side gap distance of up to 5 mm between refrigerator and furniture (B)
➤ Glue the sealing lips (see chapter "Accessories" on page 16) on the side of the
furniture (4).
➤ Push the refrigerator-oven combination against the flexible sealing lips on furni-
ture.
✔ The space behind the refrigerator is sealed to the interior of the vehicle.
