Installation

4.0 Installation instructions

4.1 Installation

WARNING!

The appliance may be installed by authorised personnel only!

The unit and the exhaust duct system must be in principle installed so that it is accessible for maintenance work, can be easily installed and dismantled and removed from the vehicle without great effort.

Installation and connection of the appliance must comply with the latest technical regulations, as follows:

 The electrical installation must comply

with national and local regulations.

 The gas installation must comply with

national and local regulations.

4.1.1 Side installation

If the appliance is installed on the same side of the vehicle as the entrance door, it is desirable that the door does not cover the refrigerator's vents. (Fig. 5, Clearance door/ventilation grille at least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be impaired which causes a loss in cooling performance. Awnings are often placed at the door side of a caravan. This complicates evacuation of combustion gases and heat through the ventilation grilles (loss in cooling performance)!

(Fig.5) The air vent grilles are blocked. There must be a distance between the door and the air vents of at least 25 mm!

If the door/grille distance is between 25 mm and 45 mm, we recommend installing a

Dometic ventilation kit (

00/0

) to achieve an optimal cooling perfor-

mance in high ambient temperatures.

item no. 241 2985 -

 European Standard EN 1949  European Standards EN 60335-1,

EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 , EN 1648-2

 The appliance must be installed in such

a way that it is shielded from excessive heat radiation.

Excessive heat impairs performance and raises the energy consumption of the refrigerator!

Deviations from these installation instructions without prior notification of Dometic result in Dometic GmbH's warranty obligations becoming void!

Fig. 5

(Fig. 6) The air vent grilles offer an unobstructed dissipation of heat and exhaust gas even when the door is opened.

Air vent grille not-

blocked! OK!

Fig. 6

4.1.2 Side installation with floor-roof ventilation

Installation

Proper ventilation of the refrigerator can also be achieved by lower air intake aperture in the floor and upper roof exhaust vent (see Fig. 7). A flue has to be provided between the top edge of the refrigerator and the roof ventilation which directs the hot air and the exhausts straight to the air vent in the roof.

The floor opening must have a cross section of at least 250 cm² . Protect the opening, e.g. with a baffle plate and a net, to prevent dirt from entering the gas burner. Compared to side ventilation, this ventilation method can allow more dirt to enter the rear area of the refrigerator, which makes regular maintenance of the gas burner, at least once a year, necessary.

With this installation method, regular maintenance of the gas burner is only possible once the device has been dismantled. It is imperative that the refrigerator be installed in a way to allow easy removal. We therefore recommend providing an adequate access opening (service flap) for ready serviceability from the outside.

4.1.3 Rear installation

Rear installation often causes an unfavourable installation arrangement, as ideal ventilation cannot always be assured (e.g. the lower ventilation grille is covered by the bumper or the rear lights of the vehicle!) (Fig. 8). The maximum cooling performance of the aggregate is actually not available.

Recommendation:

Roof vent R500

hot air

condenser

floor opening: at least 50 mm wide, at least 520 mm long

Fig. 7

Air vent grille blocked !

Fig. 8

Air vent grille not blocked ! OK!

Fig. 9

Another unfavourable method of rear installation is to install the air intake and exhaust grilles (Fig. 10) at the side wall of the recreation vehicle. The air-heat recirculation is very restricted which means that heat exchangers (condenser, absorber) cannot be adequately cooled. The optional method of an additional air vent grille installed in the floor also exhibits an insufficient air flow duct.

Installation

WARNING!

By no means use durable sealing compounds, fitting foam or similar material to realise draught-proof installation of the refrigerator! Do NOT use any easily inflammable materials for sealing (in particular silicon sealing compound or similar). Risk of fire! The device manufacturer's product liability and warranty shall lapse if such materials are used.

Fig. 10

CAUTION!

The maximum cooling performance is not available! Do not apply this installation method, as it does not provide proper ventilation! Please refer to the description in section 4.2 .

4.1.4 Draught-proof installation

Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other vehicles must be installed in a draughtproof manner (EN 1949). This means that the combustion air for the burner is not taken from the living space and that exhaust fumes are prevented from entering the living space.

Proposal 1

The lip seals (1) are installed at the bottom and on each side in the installation recess (Fig. 11-

13). A heat deflector plate (2) is installed in the installation recess above the refrigerator. Affix

the this plate to the caravan wall, do NOT attach to the refrigerator !

Attach the deflector plate so that the heated air escapes through the top ventilation grill into the open air and no heat build-up can be produced.

Adequate sealing between the back of the refrigerator and the vehicle interior has to be provided.

Dometic strongly recommends carrying this out using a flexible seal (in order to simplify later removal and installation of the unit for maintenance purposes.

The refrigerator is later pushed into the installation recess from the front. Ensure that the seals abut the case evenly.

This installation option facilitates the removal and installation of the appliance for servicing.

Fasten the sealing lips to a stop bar on the rear side (1), e.g. by gluing.

4.2 Ventilation and air extraction of the refrigerator

A correct installation of the refrigerator is essential for its correct operation, as due to physical reasons heat builds up at the back of the appliance which must be allowed to escape into the open air.

In the event of high ambient temperatures, full performance of the cooling unit can only be achieved by means of adequate ventilation and extraction.

Ventilation is provided for the unit by means of two apertures in the caravan wall. Fresh air enters at the bottom, extracts the heat and exits through the upper vent grille (chimney effect).

Fig. 14

The cavity in-between the outer vehicle wall and refrigerator is completely isolated from the vehicle interior. Intrusion of exhaust fumes into the living space is prevented. Fumes will escape through the upper ventilation grille to the outside.

The draught-proof installation does not require a special exhaust gas duct to be used. This installation method allows the use of the same air vent grille LS200 at the top and at the bottom without flue duct. .-Nummer :

If a flue duct is nevertheless desirable, incorporate the LS100 ventilation system with flue duct into the upper air vent opening. (

The upper ventilation grille should be positioned as high as possible above the condenser (1, , Fig.16). Install the lower ventilation grille at floor level of the recess (Fig. 16,17), allowing unburnt gas (heavier than air)

to escape directly into the open air.

Installation

4.3 Installing the ventilation system

Ventilation grille LS 100 or LS 200

Ventilation grille LS 200

Fig. 16

The LS 100 upper vent system kit consists of the mounting frame (RS 1640), the air grille including flue gas duct (AS 1620) and the winter cover (WA120). The LS 200 lower vent system kit consists of the mounting frame (RS

1650), the air grille (AS1 630, but without flue gas duct) and the winter cover (WA130).

LS 100

The gas burner must be located above the edge (1, Fig. 17).

Fig. 17

Should this arrangement prove impossible, a ventilation aperture must be introduced by the manufacturer of the vehicle into the recess floor in order to avoid the accumulation of unburnt gas on the floor.

The ventilation grilles must have an open cross-section of at least 250cm². This is

achieved by using the Dometic LS100/LS 200 absorber ventilation and air extraction system which has been tested and approved for this purpose.

Correct mounting of the lower ventilation grille facilitates access to the connections and functional parts during maintenance.

CAUTION!

An installation other than described will reduce the cooling capacity and jeopardise the manufacturer's warranty/product liability.

Installation

To install the ventilation grilles, cut two rectangles (451 mm x 156 mm) in the outer wall of the vehicle (

4.4 Exhaust gas duct and installing the fume flue

The exhaust gas duct system must be made in such a manner as to achieve a complete extraction of combustion products to the outside of living space. The duct system must slope in an upward direction in order to avoid a build-up of condensate. The type of exhaust gas duct shown in Fig. 25 allows the installation of the winter cover next to (10) (Fig. 25).

Installation

4.5 Installation recess

The refrigerator must be installed draughtproof in a recess (also refer to Section "4.1.4"). The measurements of the recess are stated in the table below. Step (1) (Fig. 26) is only required for cabinets with a step. The floor of the recess must be level, allowing the appliance to be pushed easily into its correct position. The floor must be substantial enough to bear the weight of the appliance.

4.5.1 Installation in the recess

Push the appliance far enough into the recess until the front edge of the refrigerator casing is aligned with the front of the recess. Allow a gap of 15-20 mm between the back wall of the recess and the refrigeration unit.

Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level in the recess.
