Unapproved installations couldresult in safety risks or performance problems.The model 3163 is designed for built-in installation andoperates on propane gas, 120 volts AC, or 12 volts DC.The propane gas mode of operation is that of a sealedcombustion unit. A sealed combustion installation util-izes a single fresh vent-air intake/exhaust assembly tosupply fresh air to the burner and to remove the prod-ucts of combustion. This insures the products of com-bustion are isolated from the living area of the vehicle.The vent-air intake/exhaust assembly is routed throughthe vehicle’s outside wall and is connected to therefrigerator’s burner assembly and exhaust flue tube byflexible piping. The vent-air intake/exhaust assemblyused for this installation has been certified for thisrefrigerator andmust not be modified.Direct Vent RequirementsInterior VentilationThe refrigerator’s cooling system requires a continualair flow to maintain proper refrigeration. An inlet andexhaust vent is required to insure adequate air flow.The refrigerator is equipped with an inlet vent locatedat the bottom front of the refrigerator. The installer isrequired to provide the exhaust vent. The exhaust ventmust have a cross sectional area of 30 square inchesminimum. The exhaust vent is to be installed above thetop surface of the refrigerator so as not to trap hot airgenerated by the cooling unit. The refrigerator isequipped with a DC ventilation fan to assist the air flowacross the refrigerator’s cooling system while operatingthe refrigerator in the Gas mode.Ventilation FanA thermostat controlled mechanical fan is used tomove air across the refrigerator’s cooling system. Thethermostat is calibrated to activate the fan wheneverthe vehicle’s interior temperature reaches 85 degreesor higher.When leaving the vehicle unattended, it is advisableto leave windows or roof exhaust vents open to main-tain the vehicle’s interior temperature below 85 de-grees. This will allow the refrigerator to operateefficiently, minimize fan operation, and limit currentdraw from the battery.Installing the Vent-Air Intake/Exhaust AssyImproper location and installation can cause injury orproperty damage. This refrigerator and it’s vents aredesign certified by the American Gas Association andthe Canadian Gas Association. Any deviation or sub-WARNINGWARNING2
