The maximum cooling performance is not
available! Do not apply this installation
method, as it does not provide proper ven-
tilation! Please refer to the description in
section 4.2 .
CAUTION!
4.1.4 Draught-proof installation
Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other
vehicles must be installed in a draught-proof
manner (EN 1949). This means that the combu-
stion air for the burner is not taken from the
living space and that exhaust fumes are preven-
ted from entering the living space.
Adequate sealing between the back of the refri-
gerator and the vehicle interior has to be provi-
ded.
Dometic strongly recommends carrying this
out using a flexible seal (in order to simplify later
removal and installation of the unit for mainten-
ance 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!
The lip seals (1) are installed at the bottom and
on each side in the installation recess (Fig. 11-
13). A heat deflector plate (2) is installed in the
installation recess above the refrigerator. Affix
the this plate to the caravan wall, do NOT
attach to the refrigerator !
Insert deflector plate in such a way that the hot
air escapes through the air vent grille into the
open air.
