Ventilation And Air Extraction Of The Refrigerator - Dometic RM 5310 Installation Instructions Manual

Installation
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 esca-
pe 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). The upper ventilation grille should
be positioned as high as possible above the
condenser (1,2 , Fig.17). Install the lower
ventilation grille at floor level of the recess,
allowing unburnt gas (heavier than air) to esca-
pe directly into the open air.
The gas burner must be located above the
edge (1, Fig. 15).

An optional ventilation aperture can be
introduced introduced by the manufacturer
of the vehicle into the recess floor in order
to avoid the accumulation of unburnt gas
on the floor.
