Preparing the installation

A
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
– can be easily removed from the vehicle
• The refrigerator-oven combination must be installed in a recess so that it stands
firm when the vehicle is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. 1, page 4 for this
purpose.
• The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 2 1, page 5) and an outlet
vent (fig. 2 2, page 5) 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 with a minimum cross-section of 400 cm².
– 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. 4, page 6).
• If the ventilation grille of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush to the ground,
an additional inlet vent (fig. 2 6, page 5) must be provided in the floor for
releasing leaked gas.
• Fit a nonflammable heat conduction plate (fig. 2 3, page 5) above the refriger-
ator 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.
• 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. 5, page 6). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do this.
