INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTION
This appliance is designed for storage of foods and
storage of frozen foods and making ice.
This appliance is certified under the latest edition of
ANSI Z21.19•CSA 1.4 Refrigerators using gas fuel.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in
absence of local codes, the following standards as applicable.
In the U.S. the installation must conform with:
1. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54
(latest edition).
2. Recreational Vehicles Code, ANSI A119.2 (latest
edition)
3. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
St andard, T itle 24 CFR, Part 3280.
If an external electrical source is utilized, the refrigerator, when inst alled, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFP A 70 - (latest edition).
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 INST ALLA TION
Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower
side vent.
For “Certified Vent System Kits” see page 14.
For further information contact your dealer or
distributor.
METHODS OF INSTALLATION
The method of installation is shown in FIG. 3.
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.
NOTE: The upper vent should be
centered over the condenser coil
at the back of the refrigerator.
In CANADA, the installation must conform with:
1. Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1
2. CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational V ehicles.
3. Current CSA Z240.4, Gas-equipped Recreational
Vehicles and Mobile Housing.
If an external electrical source is utilized, the refrigerator, when inst alled, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, Part s
I and II - (latest edition).
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 Kit s” see page 14.
