Securing The Refrigerator - Dometic RM2453 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

SECURING 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 six screws (not included).
Please note that failure to follow the sequence in securing the
refrigerator in the enclosure can cause leakage between the
frame and cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage
area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 40
mm 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.
The screws have to be installed in the following order:
1. Two screws installed through the front base and
installation of the lower front strip.
The front strip (shipped as a loose part ) is to be
-
attached after the refrigerator is set into the cut-
out opening. Install the lower front strip by slid-
ing 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.
Secure the refrigerator and the lower front strip
-
with two screws: One screw through the hinge,
and on the opposite side one screw through the
lower front strip.
