Ventilation Requirements; Key Refrigerator Dimensions - Norcold 1200 Installation Manual

This refrigerator is certified by CSA International as meeting the
latest edition of ANSI Z21.19 / CAN 1.4 standards for installation
in mobile homes or recreational vehicles.
The installation must obey these standards and this
"Installation Manual" for the NORCOLD limited warranty to be in
effect. Installation must conform with the following as
applicable:
In the United States and Canada:
- Local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the Natural Gas and
Propane installation Code, CSA B149.1, ANSI A119.2
Recreational Vehicles Code, and CSA Z240 RV Series,
Recreational Vehicles.
- A manufactured home (mobile home) installation must
conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24 (part 280), and the current CSA Z240.4, Gas-
equipped Recreational Vehicles and Mobile Housing.
- If an external power source is utilized, the appliance, when
installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National
Electrical code, and ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.2. Parts 1 and 2.
All propane gas supply piping and fittings must obey local,
state, and national codes about type and size. These
components must also obey the current NFPA 501C section 2-
4, and in Canada with the current CAN 1-6.10 Standard.

Ventilation Requirements

WARNING:
The completed installation must:
- Make sure there is sufficient intake of fresh air for
combustion.
- Make sure the living space is completely isolated from
the combustion system of the refrigerator.
- Make sure there is complete and unrestricted ventila-
tion of the flue exhaust which, in gas mode, can
produce carbon monoxide. The breathing of carbon
monoxide fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, or in
extreme cases, death.
- Make sure the refrigerator is completely isolated from
its heat generating components through the correct use
of baffles and panel construction.
Certified installation needs one lower intake vent and one upper
exhaust vent. Install the vents exactly as written in this manual.
Any other installation method voids both the certification and the
factory warranty of the refrigerator.
The bottom of the opening for the lower intake vent, which is
also the service access door, must be even with or immediately
below the floor level. This allows any leaking propane gas to
escape to the outside and not to collect at floor level.
CSA International certification allows the refrigerator to have
zero (0) inch minimum clearance at the sides, rear, top, and
bottom. While there are no maximum clearances specified for
certification, the following maximum clearances are necessary
for correct refrigerator performance:
Bottom 0 inch min.
Each Side 0 inch min.
Top 0 inch min.
Rear 0 inch min.
These clearances plus the lower and upper vents allow the
natural air draft that is necessary for good refrigeration. Cooler
air comes in through the lower vent, goes up around the
refrigerator coils where it removes the excess heat from the
refrigerator components, and goes out through the upper vent.
The refrigerator also has two thermostat controlled fans to
move air across the cooling system. These fans turn on when
the condenser fin temperature at the thermostat is about 130° F
or higher and only when the refrigerator controls are on. These
fans turn off when the condenser fin temperature at the thermo-
stat is about 115° F or less. Even with these fans, if the air flow
is blocked or decreased, the refrigerator will not cool correctly.
Each NORCOLD model is certified by CSA International for
correct ventilation. Install only the certified vents that are listed
in this manual.
