GENERAL INFORMATION
Ventilation is one of the requirements for proper cooling
unit operation. The installation should be made in such a man-
ner 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. Certifi ed installations require one roof vent
and one lower side vent. The ventilation kits shown in this
manual have been certifi ed for use with the different models as
displayed in the “Certifi ed Vent System Kits” table.
The ventilation kits must be installed and used without
modifi cation! An opening toward the outside at fl oor level
in the refrigerator compartment has be provided for ventila-
tion of heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the
recommended kits is provided with proper size openings.
The fl ow of combustion and ventilating air must not be
obstructed.
The lower side vent is fi tted 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.
