Installation
4.0 Installation instructions
The unit and the exhaust duct system must be
in principle installed so that it is accessible for
maintenance work, can be easily installed and
dismantled and removed from the vehicle wit-
hout great effort.
Installation and connection of the appliance
must comply with the latest technical regulati-
ons, as follows:
The electrical installation must comply
with national and local regulations.
The gas installation must comply with
national and local regulations.
European Standard EN 1949
European Standards EN 60335-1,
EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1 , EN 1648-2
The appliance must be installed in such a
way that it is shielded from excessive heat
radiation.
Excessive heat impairs performance and raises
the energy consumption of the refrigerator! !
4.1 Installation
Deviations from these installation instructi-
ons without prior notification of Dometic
result in Dometic GmbH's warranty obligati-
ons becoming void!
The appliance may be installed by authori-
sed personnel only!
WARNING!
(Fig. 6) The air vent grilles offer an unobstructed
dissipation of heat and exhaust gas even when
the door is opened.
4.1.1 Side installation
If the appliance is installed on the same side of
the vehicle as the entrance door, it is desirable
that the door does not cover the refrigerator's
vents. (Fig. 5, Clearance door/ventilation grille at
least 25 mm). Otherwise ventilation could be
impaired which causes a loss in cooling perfor-
mance. Awnings are often placed at the door
side of a caravan. This complicates evacuation
of combustion gases and heat through the ven-
tilation grilles (loss in cooling performance)!
(Fig.5) The air vent grilles are blocked. There
must be a distance between the door and the air
vents of at least 25 mm!
If the door/grille distance is between 25 mm and
45 mm, we recommend installing a Dometic
ventilation kit (
item no. 241 2985 - 00/0
) to
achieve an optimal cooling performance in high
ambient temperatures.

Recommendation:
Roof vent
R500
Proper ventilation of the refrigerator can also be
achieved by lower air intake aperture in the floor
and upper roof exhaust vent (see Fig. 7). A flue
has to be provided between the top edge of the
refrigerator and the roof ventilation which
directs the hot air and the exhausts straight to
the air vent in the roof.
The floor opening must have a cross section of
at least 250 cm² . Protect the opening, e.g. with
a baffle plate and a net, to prevent dirt from
entering the gas burner. Compared to side ven-
tilation, this ventilation method can allow more
dirt to enter the rear area of the refrigerator,
which makes regular maintenance of the gas
burner, at least once a year, necessary.
With this installation method, regular main-
tenance of the gas burner is only possible
once the device has been dismantled. It is
imperative that the refrigerator be installed in
a way to allow easy removal.
We therefore recommend providing an ade-
quate access opening (service flap) for ready
serviceability from the outside.
4.1.2 Side installation with floor-roof
ventilation
Another unfavourable method of rear installation
is to install the air intake and exhaust grilles (Fig.
10) at the side wall of the recreation vehicle. The
air-heat recirculation is very restricted which
means that heat exchangers (condenser, absor-
ber) cannot be adequately cooled. The optional
method of an additional air vent grille installed in
the floor also exhibits an insufficient air flow
duct.
4.1.3 Rear installation
Rear installation often causes an unfavourable
installation arrangement, as ideal ventilation
cannot always be assured (e.g. the lower venti-
lation grille is covered by the bumper or the rear
lights of the vehicle!) (Fig. 8). The maximum coo-
ling performance of the aggregate is actually not
available.

Installation
Fig. 10
The maximum cooling performance is not
available! Do not apply this installation
method, as it does not provide proper ven-
tilation! Please refer to the description in
section 4.2 .
CAUTION!
4.1.4 Draught-proof installation
Refrigerators in motorhomes, caravans or other
vehicles must be installed in a draught-proof
manner (EN 1949). This means that the combu-
stion air for the burner is not taken from the
living space and that exhaust fumes are preven-
ted from entering the living space.
Adequate sealing between the back of the refri-
gerator and the vehicle interior has to be provi-
ded.
Dometic strongly recommends carrying this
out using a flexible seal (in order to simplify later
removal and installation of the unit for mainten-
ance purposes.
By no means use durable sealing com-
pounds, fitting foam or similar material to
realise draught-proof installation of the
refrigerator! Do NOT use any easily inflam-
mable materials for sealing (in particular
silicon sealing compound or similar). Risk
of fire! The device manufacturer's product
liability and warranty shall lapse if such
materials are used.
WARNING!
The lip seals (1) are installed at the bottom and
on each side in the installation recess (Fig. 11-
13). A heat deflector plate (2) is installed in the
installation recess above the refrigerator. Affix
the this plate to the caravan wall, do NOT
attach to the refrigerator !
Insert deflector plate in such a way that the hot
air escapes through the air vent grille into the
open air.

In the event of high ambient temperatures,
full performance of the cooling unit can only
be achieved by means of adequate ventilati-
on and extraction.
Ventilation is provided for the unit by means of
two apertures in the caravan wall. Fresh air
enters at the bottom, extracts the heat and exits
through the upper vent grille (chimney effect).
The upper ventilation grille should be positio-
ned as high as possible above the condenser
(A). Install the lower ventilation grille at floor
level of the vehicle, allowing unburnt gas (hea-
vier than air) to escape directly into the open air.
Should this arrangement prove impossible, a
ventilation aperture must be introduced by the
manufacturer of the vehicle into the recess floor
in order to avoid the accumulation of unburnt
gas on the floor (Fig.18).
A correct installation of the refrigerator is essen-
tial for its correct operation, as due to physical
reasons heat builds up at the back of the appli-
ance which must be allowed to escape into the
open air.
4.2 Ventilation and air extraction
of the refrigerator
Installation
The cavity in-between the outer vehicle wall and
refrigerator is completely isolated from the vehi-
cle interior. Intrusion of exhaust fumes into the
living space is prevented. Fumes will escape
through the upper ventilation grille to the outsi-
de.
The draught-proof installation does not require a
special exhaust gas duct to be used. This instal-
lation method allows the use of the same air
vent grille LS200 at the top and at the bottom
without flue duct. .-Nummer :
If a flue duct is nevertheless desirable, incorpo-
rate the LS100 ventilation system with flue duct
into the upper air vent opening. (
For installation,
please refer to "4.4"
)
Deviations require the consent of the manu-
facturer!
Fig. 16
Flue duct
The refrigerator is later pushed into the installa-
tion recess from the front. Ensure that the seals
abut the case evenly.
This installation option facilitates the removal
and installation of the appliance for servicing.

Correct mounting of the lower ventilation grille
facilitates access to the connections and
functional parts during maintenance.

The ventilation grilles must have an open
cross-section of at least 250cm². This is
achieved by using the Dometic L100 / L 200
absorber ventilation and air extraction system
which has been tested and approved for this
purpose.
Fig. 19
Fig. 20
The LS 100 upper vent system kit consists of
the mounting frame (RS 1640), the air grille
including flue gas duct (AS 1620) and the winter
cover (WA120). The LS 200 lower vent system
kit consists of the mounting frame (RS 1650),
the air grille (AS1 630, but without flue gas duct)
and the winter cover (WA130).

The exhaust gas duct system must be made in
such a manner as to achieve a complete extrac-
tion of combustion products to the outside of
living space. The duct system must slope in an
upward direction in order to avoid a build-up of
condensate. The type of exhaust gas duct
shown in Fig. 26 allows the side installation of
the winter cover.
4.4 Exhaust gas duct and instal-
ling the fume flue
An installation other than described will
reduce the cooling capacity and jeopardise
the manufacturer's warranty/product liabi-
lity.
CAUTION!
Installing the standard fume flue (Fig. 26)
1. Connect T-piece (E) to adaptor (F) or flue
pipe (K) as required and affix with screw (G).
Ensure that heat baffle (H) is lodged in the cor-
rect position.
2. Insert flue pipe with cover plate (C) through
the appropriate aperture in the upper frame (I)
and connect to T-piece (E). If necessary, shorten
flue pipe (C) to the required length.
3. Insert LS 100 ventilation grille (D) into moun-
ting frame (I) and fasten, using the locking
handle on the left of the grille.
4. Put cap (B) on flue pipe (C).
5. Insert extractor insert (A) into ventilation gril-
le (D).

4.5.1 Installation in the recess
Note: When installing the appliance ensure
that the door hinges are supported. Figure 28
shows the optimum installation of the refrige-
rator, whereas Fig. 29 shows the minimum
requirement with the maximum clearance bet-
ween installation area and end of hinge. If the
installation is carried out as per Fig. 30, the
hinge is not capable of supporting the possible
load in the door. It is therefore essential that
the maximum clearance of 40 mm not be
exceeded
Fig. 28
Fig. 29
Fig. 30
Ideal fitting
Minimum requirement
Distance greater than 40mm
The refrigerator must be installed draught-proof
in a recess (also refer to Section "4.1.4"). The
measurements of the recess are stated in the
table below. Step A (Fig.31) is only required for
cabinets with a step. Push the appliance far
enough into the recess until the front edge of the
refrigerator casing is aligned with the front of the
recess. Allow a gap of 15-20 mm between the
back wall of the recess and the refrigeration
unit. The floor of the recess must be level, allo-
wing the appliance to be pushed easily into its
correct position. The floor must be substantial
enough to bear the weight of the appliance.
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level
in the recess.

2.1
This refrigerator is provided for installati
on within liquid gas equipment in compli
ance with EN1949 and must be run exclu-
sively on liquid gas (propane, butane) (no
natural gas, town gas).
A fixed, pre-set pressure regulator com-
plying with EN 12864 must be connected
to the liquid gas cylinder.
The pressure regulator must concur with
the operating pressure specified on the
rating plate of the appliance. The opera-
ting pressure corresponds to the standard
pressure of the country of specification
(EN 1949, EN 732).
Only one connection pressure is permissi-
ble for any one vehicle! A plate showing
the permanent, clearly legible notice must
be displayed in full view at the point where
the gas cylinder is installed.
The gas connection to the appliance must
be installed securely and free of stress
using pipe connectors and must be secu-
rely connected to the vehicle (a hose con-
nection is not permissible) (EN 1949).
The gas connection to the appliance is
effected by means of (Ermeto-) olive type
fitting L8, DIN 2353-ST, complying with EN
1949 ( s. figure 42).
After professional installation, a leakage
test as well as a flame test have to be car-
ried out by qualified personnel* in confor-
mity with EN 1949. A test certificate has to
be issued.
* Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are
able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch for
the correct installation and implementation of the leakage
test.
The refrigerator must be equipped with a
shut-off valve allowing to cut the supply
line. Such a shut-off device must be readi-
ly accessible to the user.
4.8 Gas installation

In order to ensure that the 12V power supply is
shut off when stopping the engine (otherwise
the battery would discharge within a few hours),
perform the power supply to the heating ele-
ment (cf. page 22, connection A/B in wiring dia-
gram) in a way to have the 12V supply only live
while the vehicle ignition is switched on.
The connection C/D (interior light, electronics,
cable black / violet) must be permanently provi-
ded by a 12V DC power supply to be protected
by a 2A fuse.
If the appliance is installed in a caravan the

    • Hallo,
      Wij hebben dezelfde koelkast in de Knaus Silver Selection. De koelkast werkt onderweg alleen met een geschakelde stroomdraad. (geeft alleen spanning als de motor draait, schakelt dan aan, en uit als de motor niet draait) Die geschakelde stroomdraad zit meestel op de 13 polige stekker aan de trekhaak. Zoniet dan moet je dat creëren. Succes.

    Hartelijk dank voor je snelle reactie. Helaas komen wij hier niet verder mee. Geschakelde stroomdraad op 13 is ok. Alleen levert Knaus caravans af (waarschijnlijk sinds 2018) die niet achter de auto koelen. Dat staat duidelijk in het instructieboekje van Knaus. Van welk jaar is jullie Knaus?

  • Hoi,
    Dit vind ik heel apart.
    Onze caravan is van 2017.
    Nog een optie is als de koelkast wel geschikt is voor 12V, een aparte stroomdraad(plusdraad) naar de stekker van de trekhaak door te trekken. Wel een zwaardere draad gebruiken anders wordt hij te warm. Ben benieuwd.
