Dometic NDR1292-S, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTION

This appliance is designed for storage of foods and
storage of frozen foods and making ice.

The refrigerators outlined herein have been design cer-
tified 

 ANSI 221.19 Refrigerator Stan-

dard for installation in a mobile home or recreational
vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Asso-
ciation.
The certifications are. however contingent on the instal-
lation being made in accordance with the following in-
structions 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

Standard Title 24 CFR, Part 3280.

3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI Al 19.2.(latest edition).

The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the National Electric Code 

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 CAN/CGA 8149 Gas Installation Codes

2. Current CSA Standard 2240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED

RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE
H O U S I N G .

3. Where a flexible metal connector is used, it must

comply with the provisions of the current Standard

 METAL CONNECTORS FOR GAS

APPLIANCES.

4. Any applicable local code
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the current CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C22

Parts 1 and 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

  o f c o m b u s t i o n   p r o d u c t s   s h a l l

have a minimum dimension of not less than 

 inch.

Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake

and one upper exhaust vent. The ventilation kits shown

in this instruction manual have been certified for use

with the refrigerator models listed in the table. For “Cer-

tified Vent System Kits” 

see 

page 

14. The ventilation

kits must be installed and used without modification. An

opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigera-
tor compartment must be provided for ventilation of

heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the rec-

The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be
obstructed.

The lower side vent is fitted with a panel, which pro-
vides an adequate access opening for ready service-
ability of the burner and control manifold of the refrig-
erator. This should be centered on the back of the re-
frigerator.

GAS CONNECTION

Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the

manual gas valve, which is furnished with a 

 SAE

(UNF 

 male flare connection. All completed con-

nections should be checked for leaks with soapy water.

DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.

The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure
regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than

11 inches water column.

When testing the gas supply system at test pressures in
excess of 

 psig. the refrigerator and its individual

shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

 system.

When testing the gas supply system at pressures less
than or equal to 

 psig, the appliance must be isolated

from the gas supply piping system by closing its indi-
vidual manual shutoff valve.

In case detailed instructions on the installation and con-
nection to the gas supply are required, contact your
dealer or distributor.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

120 

 AC Connection

The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (ground-

ing) plug for your protection against shock hazards and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded

three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the
cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended that the re-
ceptacle be located to the right side of the refrigerator

(viewed from the rear) and approximately 10 inches from
the floor (see FIG. 3). This allows easy access through
the vent door. The cord should be routed to avoid direct
contact with the burner cover. flue cover or any other
components that could damage the cord insulation,
