INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is designed for storage of foods and
storage of frozen foods and making ice.
The refrigerators outlined herein have been design cer-
tifled by A.G.A. under the ANSI 221.19 Refrigerator Stan-
dard for installation in a mobile home or recreational
vehicle and are approved by the Canadian Gas Associa-
tion.
The certifications are, however, contingent on the Instai-
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 32-80.
3. Recreational Vehicles ANSI/NFPA No. 501 C-(latest
edition)
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
(latest edition) when installed if an external alternating
current electrical source Is utilized.
4. Any applicable local code.
® APPROVED
In CANADA, the installation must conform with:
1. Current CGA B 149 Gas Installation Codes
2. Current CSA Standard Z 240.4 GAS - EQUIPPED
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND MOBIL HOUS-
ING
3. Any applicable local code.
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordence
with the current CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE C 22
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
alr supply or for venting of combustion products shall
have a minimum dimension of not jess 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 separate list. The ventilation kits must
be installed and used without modification. An opening
toward the outside at floor level in the refrigerator com-
partment must be provided for ventilation of heavier-
than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended
kits is provided with proper size openings. The flow of
combustion and ventilating aif must not be obstructed.
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.
GAS CONNECTION
Hook-up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the
manual gas valve, which is furnished with a 3/8" SAE
(UNF 5/8"-18) male flare connection. All completed con-
nections should be checked for leaks with soapy water.
WARNING
DO NOT use a flame to check for leaks.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure
regulator to maintain a supply pressure of not more than
11 Inches water column.
When testing the gas supply system at test pressuresjin
excess of 1/2 psig the refrigerator and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supp-
ly piping system.
When testing the gas supply system at pressures less
than or equal to 1/2 psig the appliances must be packet
from the gas supply piping by closing its individul manual
shutoff valve.
{n case detailed instructions on the installation and can-
nection to the gas supply are required, contact your
dealer or distributor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
120 Volt AC Connection
The refrigerator is equipped with a three prong
(grounded) plug for protection against shock hazarfis
and should be plugged directly Into a properly ground
three prong receptacle. DO NOT cut off or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the
cord is 2 ft. and therefore it is recommended that the
receptacle should be located to the left side of the
refrigerator (viewed from rear) and approximately /6"
from the floor (see FIG. 4). This allows easy accesibility
through the vent door. The cord should be routed |to
avoid coming in contact with the burner cover, bias
cover or any other components that could damage the
cord insulation.

Do Not use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a sub-
stitute for either of the two conductors. Do not connect
any other electrical equipment or lighting to the
refrigerator circuit. The refrigerator will draw from 11 to
18 amps at 12 volt DC depending on model. FIG. 5
The reigniter must be connected to a separate battery
circuit and will draw about 0.1 amp.
CAUTION
Do not operate the refrigerator on 12 volt DC when the
vehicle is parked. You will run out of battery in a rather
short time.
If possible the installation of a 12 volt DC operated
refrigerator should be completed with a relay mounted
either in the car or in the recreational vehicle (see FIG.
below). This relay will automatically cut out the
refrigerator when the car motor is stopped.
|

The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial
enclosure and must be level. When installing the
refrigerator in the enclosure, be certain there is a com-
plete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and
the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. A length of
sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of the front
frame for this purpose. Also apply a sealing strip to the
foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in FIG. 5. The
sealing should provide a complete isolation of the
appliance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the
floor of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in
place.
The refrigerator is secured in the enclosure with six
screws and must be installed in the following order:
1st two screws installed on the front base; 2nd two
screws installed in the top frame; 3rd two screws in-
Stalled in the rear base. Failure to follow the sequence in
securing refrigerator in enclosure can cause leakage be-
tween the frame and cabinet (see FIG. 6).
Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling
and top of the refrigerator greater than 1-1/2 inches
should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the
refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making
the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efficiency
of the refrigerator.
TO CHANGE THE DOOR, see last
page
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE
REFRIGERATOR
Before working on the refrigerator make sure that 120
volt AC and optional 12 volt DC leads are disconnected.
Shut the gas valve. Unscrew the hexagon nut 11 and
move the valve on the gas line out of the bracket. Check
that the valve slips out of the clip connection with the
switch shaft.
Loosen the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the
enclosure (see FIG. 6) and slide the refrigerator forward
out of the compartment.
When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the seal-
ing strips are properly positioned. After reassembly the
gas connection should be checked for leaks.
CERTIFIED INSTALLATION
Certified installations require one roof vent and one lower
side vent.
For certified vent system kits, see separate list.
For further information contact your dealer or distributor.
METHODS OF INSTALLATION
The methods of installation are shown in FIG. 7. It is es-
sential 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.

CLEARENCES
Minimum clearances in inches to combustible materials
are:

K: Side 0"
L: Bottom 0"
M: Rear 1/2"
N: See example below
Clearance M between the rearmost part of the
refrigerator and the wall behind the refrigerator.
Clearance N on top of the condenser is related
to the minimum ventilation height. FIG. 8
See Figures 8, 9 and examples below.
Example for Clearance N:
The clearance N for the RM 2610 model is derived in the
following way:
Installation with roof vent and lower side vent:
N = Minimum ventilation height 56 (1422mm) minus in-
stallation height.
51-5/16 plus distance between condenser top and
refrigerator top 1-1/8 plus distance between roof surface
and roof vent cap 5-1/4.
(N = 56 -51-5/16 + 1-1/8 + 5-1/4 = 11-1/16 inches)
(N = 1422-1303 + 29 + 133 = 281 mm)
