Installing Refrigerator In Sealed Location Separate To Living Space - Dometic RUC8408X Installation And Operating Manual

Installing the refrigerator
A roof vent may be installed instead of the air outlet vent.
•
– The roof vent should be installed directly above the back of the refrigerator as
far as this is possible. Use an air duct if you need to install the roof vent
(fig. 5 3) offset, otherwise heat will accumulate there.
7.2 Installing the refrigerator in a sealed location
separate to the living space
It is recommended to install the refrigerator in a sealed location in order to prevent
dust and heat from entering the living space of the caravan or motorhome.
A suitable seal must be provided and fitted to the bottom surface of the refrigerator.
The purpose is to provide a seal between the interior of the vehicle and the cooling
unit and ventilation area behind the refrigerator.
!
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar
for the draught-proof installation.
The manufacturer has applied a sealing strip to the rear surface of the front frame.

➤ Apply a sealing strip to all four sides of the bottom surface of the refrigerator (1.

➤ Push the refrigerator into position (2. in fig. 6). This then seals the space behind
the refrigerator to the interior of the vehicle.
