General Information
This refrigerator is not intended to be operated as a
Free-Standing refrigerator (i.e. the products of combus-
tion must be completely isolated from the living area)
or installed in such a way as to conflict with these
installation instructions. Unapproved installations could
result in safety risks or performance problems.
The model 3163 is desi
ned for built-in installation and
operates on propane
as, 120 volts AC, or 12 volts DC.
The propane
as mode of operation is that of a sealed
combustion unit. A sealed combustion installation util-
izes a sin
le fresh vent-air intake/exhaust assembl
to
suppl
fresh air to the burner and to remove the prod-
ucts of combustion. This insures the products of com-
bustion are isolated from the livin
area of the vehicle.
The vent-air intake/exhaust assembl
is routed throu
h
the vehicle’s outside wall and is connected to the
refri
erator’s burner assembl
and exhaust flue tube b
flexible pipin
. The vent-air intake/exhaust assembl
used for this installation has been certified for this
refri
erator and
must not
be modified.
Direct Vent Requirements
Interior Ventilation
The refri
erator’s coolin
s
stem re
uires a continual
air flow to maintain proper refri
eration. An inlet and
exhaust vent is re
uired to insure ade
uate air flow.
The refri
erator is e
uipped with an inlet vent located
at the bottom front of the refri
erator. The installer is
re
uired to provide the exhaust vent. The exhaust vent
must have a cross sectional area of 30 s
uare inches
minimum. The exhaust vent is to be installed above the
top surface of the refri
erator so as not to trap hot air
enerated b
the coolin
unit. The refri
erator is
e
uipped with a DC ventilation fan to assist the air flow
across the refri
erator’s coolin
s
stem while operatin
the refri
erator in the Gas mode.
Ventilation Fan
A thermostat controlled mechanical fan is used to
move air across the refri
erator’s coolin
s
stem. The
thermostat is calibrated to activate the fan whenever
the vehicle’s interior temperature reaches 85 de
rees
or hi
her.
When leavin
the vehicle unattended, it is advisable
to leave windows or roof exhaust vents open to main-
tain the vehicle’s interior temperature below 85 de-
rees. This will allow the refri
erator to operate
efficientl
, minimize fan operation, and limit current
draw from the batter
.
Installing the Vent-Air Intake/Exhaust Assy
Improper location and installation can cause injury or
property damage. This refrigerator and it’s vents are
design certified by the American Gas Association and
the Canadian Gas Association. Any deviation or sub-
