E1.0 Installation instructions Europe, for example, gas appliances, cable routing, installation of gas cylinders, as well as approval and checking for leaks must comply with EN 1949 for liquid gas systems in vehicles 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 E1.
(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. E1 (Fig. E2) The air vent grilles offer an unobstructed dissipation of heat and exhaust gas even when the door is opened. Air vent grille not blocked! OK! Fig. E2 E1.1.
E1.1.3 Rear installation 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. E4). The maximum cooling performance of the aggregate is actually not available. Air vent grille not blocked! OK! Fig. E4 Fig. E5 Another unfavourable method of rear installation is to install the air intake and exhaust grilles (Fig.
Adequate sealing between the back of the refrigerator and the vehicle interior has to be provided. 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 feature a groove running all around outside and bottom side to facilitate the insertion of such flexible lipped seals (see Figure E7). Exception: Stepped cabinets have no groove at the bottom side Fig.
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. The cavity in-between the outer vehicle wall and refrigerator is completely isolated from the vehicle interior. Intrusion of exhaust fumes into the living space is prevented. Fumes will escape through the upper ventilation grille to the outside.
absorber ventilation and air extraction system which has been tested and approved for this purpose. The ventilation grilles must have an open cross-section of at least 250cm². This is achieved by using the Dometic L100 / L 200 Correct mounting of the lower ventilation grille facilitates access to the connections and functional parts during maintenance. 6.
E1.5 Exhaust gas duct and installing the fume flue The exhaust gas duct system must be made in such a manner as to achieve a complete extraction 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.

E1.7 Securing the refrigerator 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. CAUTION Always insert screws through the sleeves provided as otherwise components laid in foam, such as cables etc., could be damaged.

E1.9 Gas installation the gas cylinder is installed. WARNING The gas connection shall be carried out by specialised personnel* only. Dometic refrigerators of this series are prepared for a connection pressure of 30 mbar. For connection to a 50 mbar gas system, use Truma VDR 50/30 equipment admission pressure controller. * Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch for the correct implementation of the leakage test.
E1.10 Electrical installation WARNING Changes to the internal electrical installation or the connection of other electrical components (e.g. external fan) to the internal wiring of the appliance will render the e1/ CE admittance as well as any claims from warranty and product liability void! The electrical installation shall be carried out by qualified personnel only. The electrical installation must be in accordance with the national regulations of the respective countries.
CAUTION Provide a 16 A fuse to protect on-board 12 V circuit. In order to ensure that the 12V power supply is shut off when stopping the engine (otherwise the battery would discharge within a few hours), perform the power supply to the heating element (connection A/B in wiring diagram) in a way to have the 12V supply only live while the vehicle ignition is switched on.
S+ - connection : 12V DC energy can be optionally achieved by mounting solar equipment to the vehicle. The solar power equipment must be provided with a solar charging controller with AES output (adequate charging controllers available in selected stores). The "S+ connection (Solar +) must be connected to the respective terminal of the solar charging controller (AES output). The electronic system uses the S+ signal of the solar charging controller to detect solar 12V DC.
