Dometic RM2351 Installation Instructions Manual page 7

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
• The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be
obstructed, e.g. by an open RV door.
• Do not install an awning too close to the upper side vent.
Allow a distance of approx. 6-12".
• The minimum vent height requirements, listed in
, are part of the safety certification and must be
PENDIX B"
complied with.
RECESS DEPTH
Spaces of more than 1", see FIG 6, from rear wall to the re-
frigerator may create performance problems. Fresh air will not
pass through the cooling unit which will reduce the efficiency.
It is important to check the recess depth and add baffle(s) to
increase the movement of air across the coil.
FIG 6 - RECESS DEPTH
Max 1"
(without
baffle)
If there is more than 1" between the inside of the ventila-
tion compartment and cooling unit, it is required to add box
baffle(s) starting above the lower access vent and running per-
pendicular to the side wall. The baffle should extend up to the
ceiling (in board roof vent vent applications) or up to within
"AP-
1/2" lower than the condenser fins (roof vent applications). For
upper and lower side wall vent applications the baffle should
come within 1/2" lower than the condenser fins. This will
ensure more efficient operation in warm temperatures. Make
sure the baffle is of the same width as the ventilation compart-
ment, see FIG 7.

Applications
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
REFRIGERATOR MODELS EQUIPPED WITH ICE MAKER, ICE
AND WATER DISPENSERS
The water supply system must have a minimum pressure of
15 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). A 1/4" diameter water
line to the water valve should be used at the rear of the refrig-
erator. The water line must have a manual shutoff valve placed
where it is easily accessible.
