Install An Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent; Install The Baffles For An Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent - Norcold 1210 Installation Manual

Install an Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent

If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install a roof exhaust vent, install an upper side-wall
exhaust vent.
NOTE: The refrigerator is 23.7 in. min. to 24.0 in. max. from the rear of the breaker to the rear of the
condenser [22] and is 59.0 in. min. to 59.3 in. max. from the bottom of the refrigerator to the
bottom of the refrigerator condenser [23] (See Art01600).
!
CAUTION:
Only use an upper side-wall exhaust vent on refrigerator models that are equipped
with a fan. If you use an upper side-wall exhaust vent on a refrigerator model that is not equipped
with a fan, the refrigerator cooling performance will be poor.
Make sure the refrigerator model is equipped with a fan.
- Install the upper side-wall exhaust vent [24] so that the distance [25] from the bottom of the
enclosure to the top of the rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 63 inches (see
Art01588 and Art01589).
- Align the upper exhaust vent horizontally above the lower intake vent [9].

Install the Baffles for an Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent

!
CAUTION:
Make sure that all horizontal baffles are the full width of
the inside of the enclosure and are in the correct location. If the baffles
are not the full width of the enclosure or incorrectly located, poor cooling
performance can result.
If the enclosure depth is 24 inches or more and less than 26 inches (See
Art01764):
- Install a wood, aluminum or galvanized steel top baffle [13] between the
top of the refrigerator and the top of the upper exhaust vent [24].
- Make sure that the top baffle is less than 1/4 inch [15] from the top of
the refrigerator and baffle overlaps the refrigerator 1 inch or less.
- Make sure that the baffle is against the wall of the vehicle at the top of
the upper exhaust vent and less than 1/4 inch above the opening for
the upper exhaust vent.
- Install an aluminum or galvanized steel bent-sheet condenser baffle [26] .
- Make sure that the bend of the condenser baffle is the full width of the
inside of the enclosure.
