MODELS Model Description TD S5 RM(S)8xx1 MES 85-122 l RM(S)8xx5 AES 85-122 l Width of Housing: 486 mm or 525 mm Height: 821 mm Depth: 568mm, 623mm or 633mm Fridges of the 8-series are only available with curved door
MODELS Model Description TD S6 RM(S)8xx0 Battery Igniter 85-122 l Width of Housing: 486 mm or 525 mm Height: 821 mm, Depth: 568 mm, 623 mm or 633 mm Fridges of the 8-series with manual ignition are provided with a battery igniter and a Gas-Operation-Indicator (Galvanometer)
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx The housing of the fridge RM 8xxx consists of absolute plastic material (Polystyrene) and is equipped with carrying handles on the side. Due to this a decrease of weight of ca. 1.5 kg is achieved compared to similar models like RM 7401 or RM 7405. There is a continuous groove on the outsides and bottom part. A flexible sealing has to be fitted into this groove, in order to enable an airtight assembly.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx Building in the fridge, please note, that the feet are not screwed onto the housing anymore, but are injected directly onto it. Thus, when building in the fridge, it is not possible anymore to save 8mm height by taking off the feet.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx The color of the inner liner is not papyrus white anymore, but white. The shelves and the vegetable bin are ice-blue. An innovative shelf system enables individual usage of the cooling compartment. The shelves and the bin are dishwasher-suitable. The vegetable bin is available with and without lid. The rubber sealing is exchangeable.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx In all single-door RM 8xxx fridges, the freezing compartment can be taken out if needed. This increases the capacity as well as the cooling performance in the cooling compartment.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx RM 8xxx with removable freezer compartment TD S11 Locking of freezing compartment
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx All RM 8xxx fridges have a new door lock. By pushing the locking button the door is opened. Closing the door the locking bar snaps in and the door is locked. For using the locking button, the panel is formed asymmetric (recess on one side). I.e. changing the door rabbet is not possible anymore. The rabbet has to be determined before the fridge is installed. The product number controls the side of the door rabbet.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx The locking bar inside the door is fixed with two screws, which are behind a plastic cover. The gear rods inside the door are not exchangeable. The lock in the fridge is exchangeable. It also contains the fridge lighting, which was converted into a long-living LED-lighting. The door is brought into winter position by moving the red hook.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx TD S14 Purchasing an RM 7xxx or an RM 8xxx, there is the option of an electrical doorlock. When the fridge door is closed, it is kept shut by a magnetic sealing, but not locked. Starting the engine, the electronics will automatically lock the fridge door, due to the recognition of the D+ signal. Also with this kind of door lock, changing the door rabbet is not possible.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx All RM 8xxx fridges are equipped with new door hinges made of metal with a plastic casing (polystyrene). This hinges are not screwed onto the housing anymore, but snap in. Thus it is not necessary anymore to adjust the height. Building in the fridge, please note, that the door hinges have to be supported. Minimum requirement for the supporting surface of the lower hinges is the distance from the housing edge to the outer edges of the hinges with 40mm.
MODELLE Special Features RM 8xxx Changing the decor plate, the door has not to be demounted anymore. It can be changed easily: Loosen the plastic ledge on the locking side carefully. This ledge is only snapped in, but not screwed onto the housing. Then pull out the decor plate and put in the new one. After this reattach the plastic ledge.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx The operation panel can be loosened with two screws, when the door is opened. The electronics at the RM 8xx1 and RM 8xx5 is screwed into the panel from the inside. If the fridge is demounted, the operation panel including the holding device can be loosened very easily. It is only attached to the housing.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx If the fridge is equipped with a battery igniter, as with the 7xxx – generation, a V85 Gas / electro fitting and the known energy-selection switch are used. Also, the RM 8xxx fridges are equipped with a galvanometer, which indicates if the flame is burning. At all single-door fridges of the 8-series, the main connecting block is positioned on the top of the housing. The electronics is screwed into the panel.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx On the backside of the 8-series fridges the same components are used as with the 7xxxGeneration. Cooling unit, gas valve GV 100, burner control device P810, burner and heating elements are identical. The cooling unit and the components are screwed onto a metal sheet plate, which is fixed onto the back side of the plastic housing.
MODELS Special Features RM 8xxx MES Electronics AES Electronics Optical differentiation: a “BEEPER“ TD S20 The electronics were completely renewed. Instead of using a semiconductor, as with AES III or MES, the new generation uses a microprocessor. The AESmodels are equipped with a 7-segment-display. If an error occurs, there is an acoustic signal. There is no acoustic signal for the MES-models. All optical indications are shown with LED.
