Dometic RM8506 Instruction Manual page 20

Installing the refrigerator
A suitable seal must be fitted between the rear panel of the refrigerator and the
interior of the vehicle.
!
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not use flammable materials such as silicone sealants, foam or similar
for the draft-proof installation.
The manufacturer recommends using a flexible seal to ease removal and installation
for maintenance purposes.
➤ Attach the sealing lips (fig. c 1, page 5) to a stop rail behind the refrigerator, for
example, by using an adhesive.
➤ When installing, push the refrigerator against the stop rails with the sealing lips.
This then seals the space behind the refrigerator to the interior of the vehicle.
5.3 Making air inlet and outlet vents
I
NOTE
At high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator can only provide its max-
imum cooling capacity if the optimum ventilation has been provided.
➤ Make an air inlet vent and an air outlet vent in the outer wall with the following
size:
– RM(S)8xx6: 451 x 156 mm (LS200)
– RMD85x6: 490 x 249 mm ( LS300)
➤ When doing so, observe the pertinent information (see chapter "Preparing the
installation" on page 18).
If the ventilation grill of the air inlet vent cannot be installed flush with the floor of the
niche, you need to install an inlet vent in the floor:
➤ Make an air inlet vent of at least ∅ 20 mm in the floor (fig. 8 4, page 3) behind
the refrigerator near the gas burner.
➤ Shield the end of the opening with a deflector to prevent sludge or dirt from get-
ting inside while driving (fig. d, page 5).
If you have to use a roof vent instead of the air outlet vent:
➤ Cut out a section in the roof. Refer to the roof vent instruction manual for the
required dimensions. When doing so, observe the pertinent information (see
chapter "Preparing the installation" on page 18).
