VENT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
As Required by the American/Canadian Gas Associations
This manual must be read and understood
before installation, adjustment, service, or
maintenance is performed. This unit must be
installed by a qualified service technician.
Modification of this product can be extremely
hazardous and could result in personal injury
or property damage.
1.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The vents outlined herein have been design certified by
A.G.A. under ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator Standard for instal-
lation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle and are
approved by the Canadian Gas Association.
The certifications are, however, contingent on the
installation being made in accordance with the following
instructions as applicable.
In the U.S.A., the installation must conform with:
1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition)
2. Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Stan-
dard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI A119.2 (latest edition)
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition)
when installed if an external alternating current electrical
source is utilized.
4. Any applicable local code.
In Canada, the installation must conform with:
1. Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes
2. Current CSA Standard Z240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED REC-
REATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUSING
3. Any applicable local code
2.
VENTILATION
The installation shall be made in such a manner as to
separate the combustion system from the living space of
the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Openings for air
supply or for venting of combustion products shall have a
minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.

FOR DOMETIC REFRIGERATORS
All joints in the enclosure must be sealed to
prevent gas leakage into the living area. Clear-
ance from the combustible materials must be
maintained as shown in the cross-section
views.
Proper installation requires one fresh air intake and one
upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this
instruction manual have been certified for use with the
refrigerator model listed in the Table. For refrigerator vent
options, see Pages 10-15. The ventilation kits must be
installed and used without modification. An opening toward
the outside at floor level in the refrigerator compartment must
be provided for ventilation of heavier-than-air fuel gases.
The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with
proper size openings. The flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air must not be obstructed.
The lower side vent is fitted with a panel which provides an
adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the
burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should
be centered on the back of the refrigerator.
When installing the refrigerator, the installer must block the
space between the storage cabinet and the top of the
refrigerator, otherwise heat will become trapped in this
space, making the top of the refrigerator hot, thus reducing
the efficiency of the unit.
For additional instructions not covered in this manual, see
Installation Instructions for the model of refrigerator being
installed.

CERTIFIED INSTALLATIONS
All options must have both an upper and lower side
vent, or a roof vent matched with a lower vent.
