Installing the refrigerator

Securing the refrigerator

Be careful when installing the refrigerator models NDM1062 & NDR1292. These are equipped with the latest vacuum insulated panel technology. The insu- lating panels are located on the top, back, bottom, sides and doors. If the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will occur, resulting in poor refrigerator performance.

For a proper installation, follow these instructions:

•Make sure the floor is solid and level.

•The refrigerator must be level and installed in a substantial enclosure.

•Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpet- ing 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.

•RM2451, RM2454, RM2551, RM2554, DM2652, DM2662, DM2663, DM2852, DM2862, DM3862, NDM1062 & NDR1292

A wood strip must be in place across the up-

 

per 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 have to be sealed. Verify 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 seal- ing strip is applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose. The sealing strip should provide a complete isolation of the appliance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior.

RM2351 and RM2354: Apply a sealing strip to the foremost floor of the enclosure.

Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the refrigerator is put in place!

It is important to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in enclosure since failure in doing so can cause leakage be- tween the frame and cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 1 1/2 inches should 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.

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 screws (not included).

RM2351 & RM2354

Install the five screws in the following order:

1.Four screws installed through the front frame.

(To cover the screw heads, use the plugs in the parts bag.)

2.One screw installed in the rear base.
