installation procedure Installing the refrigerator Securing the refrigerator • Make sure the floor is solid and level. It is important to follow the sequence in securing refrigerator in enclosure since failure in doing so can cause leakage between the frame and cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 1 1/2 inches should be blocked.
installation procedure 3. One screw installed in the rear base. RM2451, RM2454, RM2551, RM2554, DM2652, DM2662, DM2663, DM2852, DM2862, DM3862 & NDM1062 Install the screws in the following order: 1. Two screws installed through the front base. (Installation of the lower front strip.) The refrigerator is provided with a lower front strip (shipped as a loose part). Attach the front strip after the refrigerator is set into the cutout opening.
installation procedure Drain water hose Drill a hole through flooring. To avoid damage to the hose, the hole must be positioned so that the hose doesn’t touch the boiler casing. Seal around the hose that goes through the drilled hole and ensure that it does not kink when run through the floor. Check to make sure that the supplied hose is long enough in order for the water to drain outside of the vehicle. If not, the installer will have to supply the extra length of hose.
installation procedure 9. Put back the cover. 10. Press the ON/OFF button off and then back on. Normal operation of the burner should return. 11. Allow the burner to operate for a minimum of five minutes. RM2351, RM2451, RM2551, DM2652 & DM2852 To test the gas safety shut off, follow these steps: 1. Start the refrigerator without connecting to 120V AC. 2. Check that the gas flame is lit. In AUTO mode, the AUTO mode indicator lamp is on. 3. Follow steps 3-11 in the previous instruction.

operating Instructions refrigerator overview Absorption cooling system Modes of operation In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is liquefied in the finned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator. The liquid ammonia then flows into the evaporator (inside the freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating flow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a cold condition in the freezer.
