Assemble the Enclosure for the Refrigerator
1. Make sure the enclosure shelf is solid and level. The enclosure shelf must be:
- a metal or a wood panel and extend the full width and depth of the enclosure.
- able to support the weight of the refrigerator and its contents.
- level to maintain door alignment.
2. Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a furnace vent, a hot water heater vent,
etc.
3. Make sure the enclosure is 63.25 - 63.38 inches high x 32.69 - 32.82 inches wide x 24 inches
deep.
NOTE: Measure the enclosure depth [174] from the interior face of the enclosure to the
inside of the rear wall (See art01763).
4. The enclosure face must be perpendicular to the enclosure shelf to provide a combustion
seal.
5. The cutout opening must be square and perpendicular to the enclosure shelf to maintain door alignment.
6. Using the following chart, decide which vents and rough opening (RO) sizes to use:
Certified Vent P/N RO Height RO Width
Upper Roof Exhaust Cap 622293 N/A N/A
625240 N/A N/A
Upper Roof Exhaust Vent 616319 24 in. 5 1/4 in.

Upper Plastic Exhaust & Lower Intake 621156 13 3/4 in. 21 1/2 in.
Lower Metal Corner Intake 616010 9 3/4 in. 9 3/8 in.
Install the Lower Intake Vent
Install the lower intake vent (See Art01597):
NOTE: The lower intake vent is also the service access opening for the components on the rear of the refrigerator.
WARNING: Make sure the bottom of the opening of the lower intake vent is even with or immediately below the floor level.
This allows any leaking propane gas to escape to the outside and not to collect at floor level.
- Make sure the bottom of the opening of the lower intake vent [9] is even with or immediately below the floor level.
- Make sure that the opening for the lower intake vent is between 1/2 inch and 1 inch from the burner side of the refrigerator
enclosure.
