Installing the refrigerator

The refrigerator must be level, installed on a solid floor and in a substantial enclosure. With the vehicle carefully leveled, the refrigrigerator should level both ways in the freezer compartment.

Note! Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting.

Carpeting must be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance, which extends at least full width and depth of the appliance.

A wood strip must be in place across the upper opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigerator will be anchored to the wood strip with screws.

When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas within the recess in which the refrigerator is installed must be sealed. Make sure that there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is ap- plied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose. The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appliance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior. Note! Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the refrigerator is put in place.

RM2453 specifications

The Dometic RM2453 is a cutting-edge absorption refrigerator designed specifically for use in recreational vehicles, boats, and off-grid living spaces. With a capacity of 8.7 cubic feet, it offers ample storage space for food and beverages, making it an excellent choice for those who value convenience and efficiency on the road.

One of the standout features of the RM2453 is its innovative absorption cooling technology. Unlike traditional compressors, which can be noisy and consume a lot of energy, the RM2453 operates silently and requires minimal power. This is particularly beneficial for RV and marine applications, where noise reduction and energy efficiency are paramount. The refrigerator uses a unique ammonia-based cooling system, which is not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. This ensures that users can enjoy a consistent temperature without the disturbance of compressor noise or the drawbacks of refrigerants that may harm the environment.

The Dometic RM2453 is equipped with a three-way power source, allowing it to operate on AC, DC, and propane. This versatility means that users can easily switch between power sources depending on their needs and availability, ensuring that the refrigerator remains operational regardless of their location. Whether plugged into a campsite electrical hookup, running off the vehicle’s battery, or utilizing propane while boondocking, the RM2453 provides flexibility that many other refrigerators cannot match.

Another notable characteristic of the RM2453 is its user-friendly design. It features adjustable shelving, allowing users to customize the internal configuration to accommodate various sizes of food items and containers. The reversible door hinge offers greater flexibility in terms of installation and access, ensuring that the refrigerator can fit seamlessly into any space.

In terms of build quality, the Dometic RM2453 is designed for durability. Its robust construction is engineered to withstand the rigors of travel and the marine environment. With a sleek and modern aesthetic, it not only performs exceptionally but also enhances the overall look of the kitchen or galley it occupies.

Overall, the Dometic RM2453 stands out in the market for its combination of energy efficiency, versatility, and practical design. It remains a top choice for those seeking a reliable refrigerator solution for their mobile lifestyle, delivering excellent performance and convenience in a compact package.
