Thetford 1210 Series GE - Through 10/07 - Manual (Page 12)

Installation Manual 12
If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install a roof exhaust vent, install an upper side-
wall exhaust vent.
NOTE: The refrigerator is 23.7 in. min. to 24.0 in. max. from the rear of the breaker to the rear of
the condenser [22] and is 59.0 in. min. to 59.3 in. max. from the bottom of the refrigerator
to the bottom of the refrigerator condenser [23] (See Art01600).
CAUTION: Only use an upper side-wall exhaust vent on refrigerator models that are
equipped with a fan. If you use an upper side-wall exhaust vent on a refrigerator model that
is not equipped with a fan, the refrigerator cooling performance will be poor.
Make sure the refrigerator model is equipped with a fan.
- Install the upper side-wall exhaust vent [24] so that the distance [25] from the bottom of the
enclosure to the top of the rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 63 inches
(see Art01588 and Art01589).
- Align the upper exhaust vent horizontally above the lower intake vent [9].
Install an Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent
Install the Baffles for an Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent
CAUTION: Make sure that all horizontal baffles are the full
width of the inside of the enclosure and are in the correct
location. If the baffles are not the full width of the enclosure or
incorrectly located, poor cooling performance can result.
If the enclosure depth is 24 inches or more and less than 26 inches
(See Art01764):
- Install a wood, aluminum or galvanized steel top baffle [13]
between the top of the refrigerator and the top of the upper
exhaust vent [24].
- Make sure that the top baffle is less than 1/4 inch [15] from
the top of the refrigerator and baffle overlaps the refrigerator
1 inch or less.
- Make sure that the baffle is against the wall of the vehicle at
the top of the upper exhaust vent and less than 1/4 inch
above the opening for the upper exhaust vent.
- Install an aluminum or galvanized steel bent-sheet condenser
baffle [26] .
- Make sure that the bend of the condenser baffle is the full
width of the inside of the enclosure.
