INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

Be careful when installing the refrigerator model NDR1062. It is equipped with the latest vacuum insulated panel technology. These insulating panels are located on the top, back, bottom, sides and doors. If the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will oc- cur, 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.

SECURING THE REFRIGERATOR

When installing the refrigerator, make sure the heat can not be trapped in the space between the refrigerator and storage area. This would make the top of the refrigerator hot and reduces the efficiency of the refrigerator. Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 1½ inches should be blocked.

After the refrigerator has been installed (ensuring a combustion seal at the front frame) it must be secured in the enclosure with screws (not included). Note that it is important to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator since failure in doing that can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet!

RM2351-2354

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.

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.

All areas within the recess have to be sealed. The sealing should provide a provide a complete isolation of the appli- ance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior.

Make sure there is a complete seal between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclo- sure. A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of

the front frame for this purpose.

RM2351 and RM2354: In addition, 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!

refrigerator is set into the cutout opening.

Install the lower front strip by sliding 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.

The RM2451 offers a slightly smaller capacity of 68 liters while maintaining similar features and functionalities. It is particularly favored for its energy efficiency, which translates to longer battery life in RVs. The model incorporates a reliable temperature control system that allows users to set their desired cooling level, ensuring optimal preservation of food and beverages.

On the other hand, the RM2351 is the most compact model with a capacity of 57 liters. This makes it a preferred choice for smaller vehicles or spaces where every inch counts. Despite its size, it does not compromise on performance, offering the same absorption cooling technology and flexibility in power sources as its larger counterparts.

All three models feature an intuitive control panel, allowing for easy operation, and they boast robust insulation that helps maintain temperature even in warm environments. The durable construction ensures longevity, making them worthy investments for those who love adventure.

In summary, the Dometic RM2551, RM2451, and RM2351 offer a range of sizes and capacities to cater to different needs while providing reliable cooling performance, energy efficiency, and versatility in power sources.
