THE SIGN OF COMFORT
Adequate sealing between the back of the refri-
gerator and the vehicle interior has to be provi-
ded.
Dometic strongly recommend using a flexible
sealing for this purpose, in order to facilitate
future removal or installation of the appliance
during maintenance.
Dometic Refrigerators of RM8xxx Series featu-
re a groove running all around outside and bot-
tom side to facilitate the insertion of such flexi-
ble lipped seals (see Figure E7).
Exception: Stepped cabinets have no groove at
the bottom side
Fig. E7
Dometic recommend mounting a strip with a
heat deflector plate into the installation recess
above the appliance. This allows the ascending
hot air to escape directly outside. This deflecti-
on plate must also be provided with a lipped
seal.
That ensures that the refrigerator can easily be
removed for maintenance or repair.

The flexible sealing is pressed into the groove
running around the housing. Press the side pro-
vided with the sealing knob firmly into the groo-
ve. Take care that the sealings uniformly abut
the housing.
