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 by A.G.A. under the ANSI Z21.19 Refrigerator
Standard 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 Stan-
dard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280.

3.

Recreational Vehicles ANSI A119.2-(latest edition).

The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-(latest
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 B149 Gas Installation Codes

2.

Current CSA Standard Z240.4 GAS-EQUIPPED
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBILE HOUS-
ING.

3.

Where a flexible metal connector is used, it must
comply with the provisions of the current Standard
CAN1-6.10, 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 for
air supply or for venting of combustion products shall
have a minimum dimension of not less than 1/4 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 "Certified
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 recom-
mended kits is provided with proper size openings. The
flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be ob-
structed.
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.

CERTIFIED INSTALLATION

Certified installations require one roof vent and one
lower side vent.
For "Certified Vent System Kits"  see page 14.
For further information contact your dealer or distributor.

METHODS OF INSTALLATION

The method of installation is shown in FIG. 3. It is
essential that all maximum or minimum dimensions are
strictly maintained as the performance of the refrigerator
is dependent on adequate flow of air over the rear of the
refrigerator.
