Direct Vent Requirements
Interior Ventilation

uired to insure ade-
q
uate air flow. The refri
g
erator is e
q
uipped with an inlet
vent located at the bottom front of the refri
g
erator. The

q
uired to provide the exhaust vent which
must have a cross sectional area of 30 s
q
uare inches
minimum. The exhaust vent is to be installed above the
top surface of the refri

g
erator is
e
q
uipped with a DC ventilation fan to assist the air flow
across the refri
g
