Thetford 9100 Series Installation Manual - Manual (Page 4)

In Canada:
a. Current CGA B149.1 and CGA B149.2 installation code for Propane
Appliances and Equipment.
b. Current CSA Z240.4.2 Installation Requirement for Propane Appliances
and Equipment in Recreational Vehicles.
c. Current CSA Z240.6.2/C22.2 No. 148 Electrical Requirement for
Recreational Vehicles.
When installed, the refrigerator must be electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code C22.2
Parts 1 and 2.
Preparing for Installation
Refrigerator Ventilation Requirements
Venting is required in an R.V. refrigerator application to remove products of combustion, to isolate the living space
of the vehicle from the refrigerator’s combustion system, to remove excess heat from refrigerator’s cooling system
generator area, and to remove heat that is extracted from the refrigerator cabinet.
Certified installation requires that one intake vent and one exhaust vent be used. Refer to Table 1 on page 4. To
insure adequate refrigerator performance, a continuous air flow is required across the refrigerator’s cooling system.
The intake vent also serves as a service access door. The bottom of the intake vent opening must be flush with
or below the surface on which the refrigerator is mounted. This configuration allows any leaking propane to ventilate
to the outside of the coach.
The refrigerator is certified for
built-in installation. Follow en-
closure requirements for in-
stallation certification.

WARNING Hazardous gas! Carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Inadequate
ventilation or partial blockage of refrigerator’s flue can result in increased carbon monoxide emissions
when operating in the gas mode. To prevent emission of hazardous levels of carbon monoxide, installation
must assure complete isolation of the living space of mobile home or R.V. from refrigerator’s combustion
system. Follow Norcold’s Ventilation and Installation recommendations explicitly.
