E1.0 Installation instructions

On installation of the appliance, the technical

and administrative regulations of the country in

which the vehicle will first be used must be

adhered to. Otherwise the refrigerator must be

installed as described in these instructions. In

Europe, for example, gas appliances, cable rou-

ting, installation of gas cylinders, as well as

approval and checking for leaks must comply

with EN 1949 for liquid gas systems in vehicles

The unit and the exhaust duct system must

be in principle installed so that it is accessi-

ble for maintenance work, can be easily

installed and dismantled and removed from

the vehicle without great effort.

Installation and connection of the appliance

must comply with the latest technical regulati-

ons, as follows:

The electrical installation must comply

with national and local regulations.

The gas installation must comply with

national and local regulations.

European Standards EN 1949

European Standards EN 60335-1, EN

60335-2-24, EN 1648-1, EN 1648-2

The appliance must be installed in such a

way that it is shielded from excessive heat

radiation.

Excessive heat impairs performance and raises

the energy consumption of the refrigerator!

E1.1 Installation

CAUTION

Deviations from these installation instructions without prior notification of Dometic

result in Dometic GmbH's warranty obligations becoming void!

If the appliance is installed on the same side of

the vehicle as the entrance door, it is desirable

that the door does not cover the refrigerator's

vents. (Fig. E1, Clearance door/ventilation grille

at least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be

impaired which causes a loss in cooling perfor-

mance. Awnings are often placed at the door

side of a caravan. This complicates evacuation

of combustion gases and heat through the ven-

tilation grilles (loss in cooling performance)!

E1.1.1 Side installation

The appliance may be installed by authori-

sed personnel only!

WARNING

With this installation method, regular maintenance of the gas burner is only possi-

ble once the device has been dismantled. It is imperative that the refrigerator be

installed in a way to allow easy removal.

We therefore recommend providing an adequate access opening (service flap) for

ready serviceability from the outside.

E1.1.2 Side installation with floor-roof ventilation

Fig. E1

Fig. E2

Fig. E3

Air vent grille not

blocked! OK!

(Fig. E1) The air vent grilles are blocked. There

must be a distance between the door and the air

vents of at least 25 mm!

If the door/grille distance is between 25 mm and

45 mm, we recommend installing a Dometic

ventilation kit (item no. 241 2985 - 00/0)to

achieve an optimal cooling performance in high

ambient temperatures.

(Fig. E2) The air vent grilles offer an unobstruc-

ted dissipation of heat and exhaust gas even

when the door is opened.

Proper ventilation of the refrigerator can also be

achieved by lower air intake aperture in the floor

and upper roof exhaust vent (see Fig. E3). A flue

has to be provided between the top edge of the

refrigerator and the roof ventilation which

directs the hot air and the exhausts straight to

the air vent in the roof.

The floor opening must have a cross section of

at least 250 cm². Protect the opening, e.g. with

a baffle plate and a net, to prevent dirt from

entering the gas burner. Compared to side ven-

tilation, this ventilation method can allow more

dirt to enter the rear area of the refrigerator,

which makes regular maintenance of the gas

burner, at least once a year, necessary.

Rear installation often causes an unfavourable

installation arrangement, as ideal ventilation

cannot always be assured (e.g. the lower venti-

lation grille is covered by the bumper or the rear

lights of the vehicle!) (

Fig. E4

). The maximum

cooling performance of the aggregate is actually

not available.

Another unfavourable method of rear installation

is to install the air intake and exhaust grilles (

Fig.

) at the side wall of the recreation vehicle. The

air-heat recirculation is very restricted which

means that heat exchangers (condenser, absor-

ber) cannot be adequately cooled. The optional

method of an additional air vent grille installed in

the floor also exhibits an insufficient air flow duct.

The maximum cooling performance is not

method, as it does not provide proper venti-

lation! Please refer to the description in sec-

tion E1.3.

CAUTION

E1.2 Draught-proof installation

Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other

vehicles must be installed in a draught-proof

manner (EN 1949). This means that the combu-

stion air for the burner is not taken from the

living space and that exhaust fumes are preven-

ted from entering the living space.

BY NO MEANS use durable sealing compounds, fitting foam or similar material to realise

draught-proof installation of the refrigerator! Do NOT use any easily inflammable materi-

als 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.

WARNING

Fig. E8 Fig. E9

Fig. E10 Fig. E11

Fig. E7

Adequate sealing between the back of the refri-

gerator and the vehicle interior has to be provi-

ded.

Dometic strongly recommend using a flexible

sealing for this purpose, in order to facilitate

future removal or installation of the appliance

during maintenance.

Dometic Refrigerators of RM8xxx Series featu-

re a groove running all around outside and bot-

tom side to facilitate the insertion of such flexi-

ble lipped seals (see Figure E7).

Exception: Stepped cabinets have no groove at

the bottom side

Dometic recommend mounting a strip with a

heat deflector plate into the installation recess

above the appliance. This allows the ascending

hot air to escape directly outside. This deflecti-

on plate must also be provided with a lipped

seal.

That ensures that the refrigerator can easily be

removed for maintenance or repair.

The flexible sealing is pressed into the groove

running around the housing. Press the side pro-

vided with the sealing knob firmly into the groo-

ve. Take care that the sealings uniformly abut

the housing.

Dometic-Sealing-Kit for RM 8xxx:

Item no. :

The cavity in-between the outer vehicle wall and

refrigerator is completely isolated from the vehi-

cle interior. Intrusion of exhaust fumes into the

living space is prevented. Fumes will escape

through the upper ventilation grille to the outsi-

de. The draught-proof installation does not

require a special exhaust gas duct to be used.

This installation method allows the use of the

same air vent grille L200 at the top and at the

bottom without flue duct.

If a flue duct is nevertheless desirable, incorpo-

rate the L100 ventilation system with flue duct

into the upper air vent opening. (

For installation,

please refer to "E1.7"

)

Deviations require the consent of the manufacturer!

E1.3 Ventilation and air extraction of the refrigerator

A correct installation of the refrigerator is essen-

tial for its correct operation, as due to physical

reasons heat builds up at the back of the appli-

ance which must be allowed to escape into the

open air.

In the event of high ambient temperatures, full performance of the cooling unit can

only be achieved by means of adequate ventilation and extraction.

Ventilation is provided for the unit by means of

two apertures in the caravan wall. Fresh air

enters at the bottom, extracts the heat and exits

through the upper vent grille (chimney effect).

The upper ventilation grille should be positio-

ned as high as possible above the condenser

(A). Install the lower ventilation grille at floor

level of the vehicle, allowing unburnt gas (hea-

vier than air) to escape directly into the open air.

Should this arrangement prove impossible, a

ventilation aperture must be introduced by the

manufacturer of the vehicle into the recess floor

in order to avoid the accumulation of unburnt

gas on the floor.

The ventilation grilles must have an open

cross-section of at least 250cm². This is

achieved by using the Dometic L100 / L 200

absorber ventilation and air extraction system

which has been tested and approved for this

purpose.

Seal the mounting frame

making it waterproof

(does not apply for

mounting frames with

integral seal)

Insert frame and screw

into position.

Insert ventilation grille.

Lock ventilation grille.

Clip the insert for flue

gas duct in position

(only

for L100 upper ventilati-

on system kit).

Insert winter cover.

The L100 upper vent system kit consists of the

mounting frame (R1640), the air grille including

flue gas duct (A1620) and the winter cover

(WA120). The L200 lower vent system kit con-

sists of the mounting frame (R1650), the air gril-

le (A1630, but without flue gas duct) and the

winter cover (WA130). To install the ventilation

grilles, cut two rectangles (451 mm x 156 mm)

in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the

cuts, see point E1.3).

Correct mounting of the lower ventilation grille facilitates access to the connecti-

ons and functional parts during maintenance.

6.4 Installing the ventilation system

The refrigerator must be installed draught-proof

in a recess (also refer to Section "E1.2"). The

measurements of the recess are stated in the

table below. Step Ais only required for cabinets

with a step. Push the appliance far enough into

the recess until the front edge of the refrigerator

casing is aligned with the front of the recess.

Allow a gap of 15-20 mm between the back wall

of the recess and the refrigeration unit. The floor

of the recess must be level, allowing the applian-

ce to be pushed easily into its correct position.

The floor must be substantial enough to bear the

weight of the appliance.

E1.6 Installation recess

Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level in the recess.

Fig. E23

Installing the standard fume flue:

Fig. E22

1. Connect T-piece (E) to adaptor (F) or flue

pipe (K) as required and affix with screw (G).

Ensure that heat baffle (H) is lodged in the cor-

rect position.

2. Insert flue pipe with cover plate (C) through

the appropriate aperture in the upper frame (I)

and connect to T-piece (E). If necessary, shorten

flue pipe (C) to the required length.

3. Insert L100 ventilation grille (D) into mounting

frame (I) and fasten, using the locking handle on

the left of the grille.

4. Put cap (B) on flue pipe (C).

5. Insert extractor insert (A) into ventilation grille

(D).

The exhaust gas duct system must be made in

such a manner as to achieve a complete extrac-

tion of combustion products to the outside of

living space. The duct system must slope in an

upward direction in order to avoid a build-up of

condensate. The type of exhaust gas duct

shown in Fig. E22 allows the side installation of

the winter cover.

An installation other than described will

reduce the cooling capacity and jeopardise

the manufacturer's warranty/product liability.
