Istallation Guide; Installation - Dometic RM 7271 L Operating Instructions Manual

6.0 Installation guide
On installation of the appliance, the technical and administrative regulations of the
country in which the vehicle will first be used must be adhered to. Otherwise the
refrigerator must be installed as described in these instructions. In some OEM appli-
cations it may not be possible for these instructions to be followed exactly. In this
case an authorised Dometic representative may issue supplementary instruction.
In Europe, for example, gas appliances, cable laying, installation of gas
cylinders, as well as approval and checking for leaks must comply with
EN 1949 for liquid gas units in vehicles.

Installation

6.1
The appliance and its fume extraction shall be installed in such a way as to be acces-
sible for servicing at all times and must be capable of easy removal and installation.
The appliance may only be installed by authorised personnel.
Installation and connection of the appliance must comply with the latest
technical regulations, as follows:
The electrical installation must comply with national regulations.
Technical regulations EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1, EN 1648-2
The gas installation must comply with national regulations.
Technical regulations EN 1949
Technical regulations EN 732
Local and building control department requirements
The appliance shall 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.
Any installation that is not carried out by qualified persons will jeo-
pardize the manufacturer's guarantee.
Side installation
6.1.1
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. 1, gap between
door and vent grille min. 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be impaired which cau
ses a loss in cooling performance. Awnings are often placed at the door side of a
caravan. This complicates discharge of combustion gases and heat through the venti
lation grilles (loss in cooling performance)!

(Fig.1) Air vent grille 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 25mm and 45 mm, we recommend installing
a Dometic ventilation kit ( spare part no. 241 2985 - 00/0 ) to achieve an optimal cooling per-
formance in high ambient temperatures.
