Installation instructions

Securing the refrigerator

After the refrigerator is put in place, (ensuring a combustion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the enclosure with six screws (not included).

Please note that failure to follow the sequence in securing the refrigerator in the enclosure can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 40

mmshould be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.

The screws have to be installed in the following order:

1.Two screws installed through the front base and installation of the lower front strip.

-The front strip (shipped as a loose part ) is to be attached after the refrigerator is set into the cut- out opening. Install the lower front strip by slid- ing it under the bottom hinge plate. (The hinge plate can be on the right or left side depending on the door swing.)

-Once the lower front strip is slipped under the hinge, the part is possible to swing into place.

2.Two screws installed in the top frame.

-Remove the top decoration panel.

-Open the door.

- Gently push the tabs out of

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.
