5.3 Choosing the type of vent application
I
Read before proceeding:
• Certified installation requires one lower fresh air intake vent and one upper exhaust vent.
• Center the vents to the back of the refrigerator. Refer to "Offset vent application" if it is not possible to center
the vent.
• Use only the Dometic vents specified for the installation.
• Ensure that vent openings are clear of obstructions.
• Ensure that the lower vent opening is even with, or below, floor level to allow any raw LP gas to escape.
• Do not allow the floor to block or interfere with the vent openings.
• Additional holes are required for vents installed above floor level to vent raw LP gas outdoors. The holes must
be a diameter of 1-3/4", clear of any obstruction, and covered with a screen (minimum 14 X 14 per inch).
Roof vent application
• This application is recommended for typical installations.
• This application can be used if the vents are inboard or offset due to a radius roof or interference with
building materials.
➤ Check the enclosure depth and add a baffle, if required.
Upper and lower side vent application
• Choose this type of installation when a roof vent installation is not possible.
• A baffle should be added.
• The refrigerator must be equipped with fan(s).
Island application
• This application is intended for refrigerators installed on an inside wall and must be vented through the floor
to the ceiling.
Corner application
• This application is intended for refrigerators installed in the rear corner of the vehicle or in an angled cabinet.
• The refrigerator must be equipped with fan(s).
Offset vent application
• The vents must always be offset toward the flue side of the cooling unit.
• For offset vent applications, prior written approval and safety certification must be obtained from Dometic
Corporation.
