Installation instructions

The installation, servicing and gas installation must be performed by an authorised/qualified person. The refrigerator must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations, AS5601 “Gas Installations” and any other statutory regulations.

Ventilation requirements

The installation shall be made in such a manner as to separate the combustion system from the living space of the mobile home or recreational vehicle. Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and one upper exhaust vent.

We recommend fitting the Dometic ventilation system, which is specially developed by Dometic for this purpose. The ven- tilation kits must be installed and used without modification.

An opening toward the outside at floor level in the refrigera- tor compartment must be provided for ventilation of heavier- than-air fuel gases. The lower vent of the recommended kits is provided with proper size openings. The flow of combus- tion and ventilating air must not be obstructed.

The lower side vent is fitted with a panel, which provides an adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should be cen- tred on the back of the refrigerator. For further information contact your dealer or distributor.

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.
