4.1.4 Draught-proof installation

Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or
other vehicles must be installed in a draught-
proof manner (EN 1949). This means that the
combustion air for the burner is not taken from
the living space and that exhaust fumes are
prevented from entering the living space.
Adequate sealing between the back of the
refrigerator and the vehicle interior has to be
provided.
Dometic strongly recommends carrying this
out using a flexible seal (in order to simplify
later removal and installation of the unit for
maintenance purposes.
WARNING!
By no means use durable sealing com-
pounds, fitting foam or similar material to
realise draught-proof installation of the
refrigerator! Do NOT use any easily inflam-
mable materials for sealing (in particular
silicon sealing compound or similar). Risk
of fire! The device manufacturer's product
liability and warranty shall lapse if such
materials are used.

Proposal 1
The lip seals (1) are installed at the bottom and
on each side in the installation recess (Fig. 11-
13). A heat deflector plate (2) is installed in the
installation recess above the refrigerator. Affix
the this plate to the caravan wall, do NOT
attach to the refrigerator !
Attach the deflector plate so that the heated
air escapes through the top ventilation grill into
the open air and no heat build-up can be pro-
duced.
