Draught-free installation
Proposal 1:
Using the Installation Sealing Kit from Dometic
(SP.No. 241 2559-00, available from Dometic).
Insert lipped seals (A) into the installation recesses
at the bottom and at each side.
Insert deflector plate (B), fitted
with a lipped seal (A) into the
installation recess (see Fig.).
Affix the discharge plate to the
caravan wall, NOT to the refrigerator!
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level in
the recess.
Proposal 2:
Another option is to provide the refrigerator with a cowl
(A). The cowl (A) should ideally be affixed to the caravan
wall, not to the refrigerator. Insert sealing strips at the bot-
tom and sides of the cover.
Finally, push the refrigerator into the cover from the front.
Both of these installation options facilitate the remo-
val and installation of the appliance for servicing.
If the cavity between the caravan wall and the refrigerator
is sealed so that fumes cannot penetrate the living area it
is possible to vent the flue gas directly through the upper grille without using the
aluminium flue pipe. For this installation method, it is recommended that the same air
vent grille should be used at the top and at the bottom (L200).
6.2
WARNING! Do NOT use any easily inflammable materials (in particular silicone
sealing agent or similar) for sealing! The device manufacturer's product liability
and guarantee shall lapse if such materials are used.
Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other vehicles must be installed in a
draftproof manner (EN 1949). This means that the combustion air for the burner is
not taken from the living area and that exhaust fumes are prevented
from entering the living area .
In no case, use sealing material or foam, in order to build in the fridge
draught-free.
