INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTION
This appliance is designed for storage of foods and
storage of frozen foods and making ice.
The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified by A.G.A. under the 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.
CERTIFIED INSTALLATION
Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower
side vent or optional one upper side vent and one lower
side vent. For Certified Vent System Kits see page 8.
For further information contact your dealer or distributor.
METHODS OF INSTALLATION
The method of installation is shown in FIG. 3a and 3b. It
is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions
be 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 CAN/CGA B149 Gas Installation Codes
2. Current CSA Standard Z240.4 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
CAN1-6.10, METAL CONNECTORS FOR GAS
APPLIANCES.
4. Any applicable local code
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the current CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C22
Parts 1 and 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. Openings
for air supply or for venting of combustion products shall
have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.
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 Certified Vent System Kits see page 8.
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.
