General 1.0 General 1.1 1.4 Introduction 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. 1.2 Explanation of symbols used in this manual Warning notices Warning notices are identified by symbols. A supplementary text gives you an explanation of the degree of danger. Observe these warning notices rigorously.
General Information 1.6 Limitation of liability All information and guidance in these operating instructions were prepared after taking into consideration the applicable standards and regulations as well as the current state of the art. Dometic reserves the right to make changes at any time which are deemed to be in the interest of improving the product and safety.
Safety instructions 2.0 Safety instructions 2.1 Application according to regulations DANGER! Never use an unshielded flame to check gas bearing parts and pipes for leakage! This appliance is designed for storage of food and storage of frozen food and making ice. The refrigerators outlined herein have been design certified for installation in a mobile home or recreational vehicle. There is a danger of fire or explosion.. The refrigerator is to be used solely for storing foodstuffs.

Installation 4.0 Installation instructions 4.1 4.1.1 Side installation Installation 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. 5, Clearance door/ventilation grille at least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be impaired which causes a loss in cooling performance. Awnings are often placed at the door side of a caravan.
Installation 4.1.2 Rear installation CAUTION! Rear installation often causes an unfavourable installation arrangement, as ideal ventilation cannot always be assured (e.g. the lower ventilation grille is covered by the bumper or the rear lights of the vehicle!) (Fig. 8). The maximum cooling performance of the aggregate is actually not available.
Installation installation recess above the refrigerator. Affix the this plate to the caravan wall, do NOT attach to the refrigerator ! Proposal 2 Fasten the sealing lips to a stop bar on the rear side (1), e.g. by gluing. Attach the deflector plate so that the heated air escapes through the top ventilation grill into the open air and no heat build-up can be produced. 1 2 Fig. 14/15 Fig.
Installation 4.2 Ventilation and air extraction of the refrigerator 1 + 2 1 ventilation grilles A A correct installation of the refrigerator is essential for its correct operation, as due to physical reasons heat builds up at the back of the appliance which must be allowed to escape into the open air. 1 2 ventilation aperture In the event of high ambient temperatures, full performance of the cooling unit can only be achieved by means of adequate ventilation and extraction.
Installation 4.3.2 Ventilation systems for large refrigerators (larger than120 ltr. cap.) Positioning of of lower and upper ventilation grilles LS300 Dometic recommends the larger LS 300 side ventilation grilles be used for both the top and lower side ventilation of the refrigerator. Alternatively, the installation of the lower ventilation grille (LS 300) with the roof exhaust is also acceptable. Minimum height of ventilation The ventilation grilles must have an open cross-section of at least 400 cm².
Installation LS 200 / LS 300 4.3.3 Installing LS 100/LS 200 or LS 300 1 To install the ventilation grilles LS 200, cut two rectangles (451mm x 156mm) in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the cuts, ssee Fig. 16). b Cut two rectangles in the exterior wall of the vehia cle. To install the ventilation grilles LS 300, cut two rectangles width b = 490mm, height a 249mm, in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the cuts, see Fig. 21,22). Fig.
Installation 4.3.4 Installing roof exhaust R500 CAUTION! An installation other than described will reduce the cooling capacity and jeopardise the manufacturer's warranty/product liability. Measurements of roof exhaust R500 Length Width Height 595 mm 205 mm 150 mm Roof cut out: 87mm X 507 mm min. 15mm 1 2 3 Fig. 32 1 4 Seal the installation bays and screw them to the vehicle roof. 5 10 Fig. 33 8 9 6 7 2 Fig. 35 Place the hood in postion and screw it to the installation bays.

Installation 4.6 Securing the refrigerator 4.7 In the sidewalls of the refrigerator, there are four plastic sleeves for securing the refrigerator. The sidewalls or strips attached for securing the refrigerator must be prepared to hold the screws firmly in place even when under increased load (while the vehicle is moving). Fastening screws and caps are supplied with the refrigerator.

Installation 4.8 correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area. Gas installation WARNING! The gas connection shall be carried out by specialised personnel* only. Gas connection CAUTION! * Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch for the correct installation and implementation of the leakage test.
Installation Customer Services or by qualified personnel to avoid hazards. We recommend leading the power supply via a board-side fuse protection. The refrigerator must be equipped with a gas cock in the supply line to allow the supply to be disconnected. Such a cut-out device must be readily accessible to the user. When using LPG gas (tank), please consider that the burner needs cleaning at shorter intervals due to the gas combustion method (2 - 3 times per year recommended). 4.9 4.9.

Installation 4.9.4 D+ and solar connection (only for AES models) D+ signal connection In >Automatic Mode< the AES electronic system automatically selects the most efficient energy supply. In automatic mode the electronic system uses the D+ signal (dynamo +) of the alternator to detect 12V DC. 12V DC operation is selected only while the engine is running in order to prevent battery discharge. S+ signal connection: 12V DC energy can be optionally achieved by mounting solar equipment to the vehicle.
