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.

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.

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.
