Ventilation is one of the requirements for proper cooling unit
operation. The installation should be made in such a manner as
to separate the combustion system from the living space of the
mobile home or recreational vehicle. Openings for air supply
or for venting of combustion products should have a minimum
dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.
Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and
one upper exhaust vent. Certified installations require one
roof vent and one lower side vent. The ventilation kits shown
in this manual have been certified for use with the different
models as displayed in the “Certified Vent System Kits” table.
The ventilation kits must be installed and used without
modification! 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.
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.
