1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is designed for storage of food and
storage of frozen food and making ice.
The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified by A.G.A. under ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator Standard
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 A119.2-(latest edition).
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-(latest edition)
when installed if an external alternating current electrical
source is utilized.
4. Any applicable local code.
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.
3. CERTIFIED INSTALLATION
Certified installations require one upper side vent and one
lower side vent.
For certified vent system kits, see Section B.For certified vent system kits, see Section B.
For certified vent system kits, see Section B.
For certified vent system kits, see Section B.For certified vent system kits, see Section B.
For further information, contact your dealer or distributor.
4. METHOD OF INSTALLATION
The methods of installation are shown in FIG. 1 & FIG. 1A.
It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are
strictly maintained as the performance of the refrigerator is
dependent on adequate flow of air over the rear of the
refrigerator.

In Canada, the installation must conform with:
1. Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes
2. Current CSA Standard Z 240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUSING
3. Any applicable local code
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with
the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C 22 Parts 1 and 2.
2.VENTILATION
The installation shall be made in such a manner as to
separate the combustion system from the living space of
the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Louver openings
must have a minimum dimension of 1/4 inch for air supply
or venting of combustion products.
Proper installation requires one fresh air intake and one
upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this
instruction manual have been certified for use with the
refrigerator model listed in the Table. For "Certified Vent
System Kits" see Section B. 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 properly sized openings. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

FIG. 4FIG. 4
FIG. 4
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 from the living
space.
Make sure that there is a complete seal between the front
frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of
the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear
surface of the front frame for this purpose. Also apply a
sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure and
apply a second sealing strip to the bottom of the trim strip
on the front base as shown in FIG. 4. The sealing should
provide a complete isolation of the appliance's combustion
system from the vehicle interior.

B. CONDENSATE DRAIN HOLE:
A hole must be drilled through flooring "L" (FIG. 2). This
hole must be drilled in the one-inch clearance "M" (FIG. 2).
The installer MUST make sure that the hose does not kink
when run through the floor. Seal around the hose that goes
through the drilled hole. If a longer hose than supplied is
required to get the water to drain outside of the vehicle, the
installer will have to supply the extra length hose.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied
to the floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in
place.
