Dometic RM2453 and, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLING ThE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator must be level, installed on a solid floor 

and in a substantial enclosure. With the vehicle carefully 

leveled, the refrigrigerator should level both ways in the 

freezer compartment. 

Note!

 Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. 

Carpeting 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.
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.
When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, all areas 

within the recess in which the refrigerator is installed must 

be sealed. Make sure that there is a complete seal between 

the front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and 

bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is ap-

plied to the rear surface of the front frame for this purpose. 

The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the 

appliance’s combustion system from the vehicle interior.  

Note!

 Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the 

refrigerator is put in place.
