Installing the refrigerator
4.1 Preparing the installation
A
NOTICE!
• The refrigerator may not be installed in the rear of mobile homes with
the door pointing in the direction of travel.
• Use exclusively original Dometic ventilation grills to ensure safe
operation.
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
• To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the refrigerator may not exceed an
angle of 3 °.
Park the vehicle horizontally for this purpose.
• The refrigerator must be installed so that
– it is easily accessible for service work
– easy to de-install and install
– can be easily removed from the vehicle
• The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands firm when the vehicle
is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. 1, page 2
• The outer wall must be fitted with an air inlet vent (fig. 2 1, page 3) and an outlet
vent (fig. 2 2, page 3) with ventilation grills so that the heat generated can be
easily released to the outside:
– Air inlet vent: Fit ventilation grill as flush as possible with the base of the
installation niche.
– Outlet vent: fit as far above the refrigerator as possible.
– The distance between the air inlet and outlet vents must be at least 1250 mm
(49.21 in.) (fig. 3, page 3).
• Fit a heat conduction plate (fig. 3 1, page 3) above the refrigerator so that the
heat does not accumulate in the vehicle.
• The distance between the refrigerator and the rear wall must be at least 15 mm
(0.59 in.) but no more than 25 mm (0.98 in.).
• A distance of more than 25 mm (0.98 in.) between the refrigerator and rear wall
leads to poor performance and increases the power consumption of the refriger-
ator. Reduce the space behind the refrigerator to create adequate air inlet and
outlet ventilation (fig. 4, page 4). Use a ventilation plate, for example, to do
this.
