Ventilation Requirements - Dometic RM1350M Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

ventilation requirements

general information
Provide necessary air circulation over the cooling unit. Open-
ings for air supply or for venting of combustion products shall
have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.
Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower side
vent. Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake
and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown in this
manual have been certified for use with RM1350. The ventila-
tion kits must be installed and used without modification.
The certified vent system kits are listed in the following table.

An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator
compartment has to 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 ventilating air must
not be obstructed.
CAUTION
It is of especially importance that the airflow
around the burner housing, the boiler insulation
and the flow of combustion gases must not be
obstructed. Items placed in the vicinity of the
refrigerator compartment accordingly must be
secured away from the refrigerator tubing and flue.
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.

ventilation heights
It is essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are
strictly maintained as the performance of the refrigerator is de-
pendent on adequate flow of air over the rear of the refrigerator.
For an installation with roof vent and lower side vent or double
side vent, the minimum ventilation height should be 63 inches
(1600 mm).
