Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or
other vehicles must be installed in a draught-
proof manner (EN 1949). This means that the
combustion air for the burner is not taken from
the living space and that exhaust fumes are
prevented from entering the living space.
Adequate sealing between the back of the
refrigerator and the vehicle interior has to be
provided.
Dometic strongly recommends carrying
this out using a flexible seal (in order to
simplify later removal and installation of the
unit for maintenance purposes
By no means use durable sealing com-
pounds, fitting foam or similar material to
realise draught-proof installation of the
refrigerator! Do NOT use any easily inflam-
mable materials for sealing (in particular
silicon sealing compound or similar). Risk
of fire! The device manufacturer's product
liability and warranty shall lapse if such
materials are used.
WARNING!
Installation
Pay attention to clean and residue-free
workmanship if silicone sealing com-
pound or similar is used elsewhere (e.g.
sealing of the ventilation grille frames).
There is a danger of fire if silicone threads
come into contact with hot parts or an
open flame.
WARNING!
Installation in the recess
Push the appliance far enough into the recess
until the front edge of the refrigerator casing is
aligned with the front of the recess. Allow a
gap of 20 mm between the back wall of the
recess and the refrigeration unit.
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed
level in the recess.
The refrigerator must be installed draught-
proof in a recess . The floor of the recess must
be level, allowing the appliance to be pushed
easily into its correct position. The floor must
be substantial enough to bear the weight of
the appliance.
