INSTALLATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTION

This appliance is designed for storage of foods and storage of frozen foods and making ice.

The lower side vent is fitted with a panel, which provides an adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be centered on the back of the refrigerator.

GAS CONNECTION

The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified

byA.G.A.

dard for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Association. The certifications are. however contingent on the installation being made in accordance with the following instructions as applicable.

In the U.S.A., the installation must conform with:

1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.(latest

edition)

2. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety

Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 3280.

3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI Al 19.2.(latest edition). The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance

with the National Electric Code edition) when installed, if an external alternating current electrical source is utilized.

4. Any applicable local code.

In CANADA, the installation must conform with:

1. Current CAN/CGA 8149 Gas Installation Codes

2. Current CSA Standard 2240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED

RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUSING.

3. Where a flexible metal connector is used, it must

comply with the provisions of the current Standard

CANlG.10,

DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than

11 inches water column. When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

prpmg system.

When testing the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

In case detailed instructions on the installation and con-

nection to the gas supply are required, contact your

dealer or distributor.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (ground-

ing) plug for your protection against shock hazards and

should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended that the receptacle be located to the right side of the refrigerator

(viewed from the rear) and approximately 10 inches from

the floor (see FIG. 3). This allows easy access through

the vent door. The cord should be routed to avoid direct

contact with the burner cover. flue cover or any other

components that could damage the cord insulation,

Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake

and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown

in this instruction manual have been certified for use

with the refrigerator models listed in the table. For “Cer-

tified Vent System Kits” see page 14. The ventilation

kits must be installed and used without modification. An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator compartment must be provided for ventilation of

heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with proper size openings. The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed.

DC Connection

The refrigerator model NDR 1292-S require a continuous 12 volt DC supply (even though 2-way models are designed to operate on 120 volts AC and gas, a 12 volt DC control is required to maintain the automatic energy system). The connection is made to the positive negative (-) terminals of the terminal block on the back of the refrigerator. (See FIG. 1). Correct polarity must

be observed when connecting to the DC supply.

Do not use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the conductors. Connect

DC supply. The distance the current must travel from the battery to

the refrigerator dictates the AWG wire size to be used. Should the wire be too small for the distance, a voltage

drop will result.

Recommended wire sizes are shown below.

Caution: Use care when installing the refrigerator. This

refrigerator is equipped with the latest vacuum insulated panel technology. These insulating panels are located on the Top, Back, Bottom, Sides and Doors of the refrig-

erator.

If the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will occur. resulting in poor refrigerator performance.

NOTE:

opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be anchored to the wood strip with screws. see FIG. 10. The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas within the recess in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed. Make sure that there is a complete front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and

bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the pose, sea FIG. 4. The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appliance’s combustion system from

the vehicle interior.

NOTE:

The wires from the battery to the refrigerator must be of

large enough size to handle the load. The connections

must be clean, tight and free from corrosion.

Securing the Refrigerator

After the refrigerator is put in place, (ensuring a com-

bustion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the enclosure with six straws (not included). The screws have to be installed in the following order:

The transport support at the rear of the refrigerator can

be removed if necessary for the installation of the refrig-

erator in the enclosure. (See figure above).

NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on

carpeting. Carpeting must be removed

protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.

STEP 1: Two screws installed through the front base,

which includes the lower front strip installation. The refrigerator is provided with a lower front strip

(shipped as a loose part). The front strip is to be attached after the refrigerator is set into the cutout opening.

1. Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the bottom hinge plates, as shown in FIG. 5.
