safety certication and must not be used for any other
purpose than securing air for combustion and ventilation of ue gases and warm air.
FIG 1 - ENCLOSURE
Ventilation Compartment
Enclosure
Refrigerator
- OEM installed components inside of the refrigerator
enclosure are contained outside of the ventiliation compartment by means of permanently securing them (e.g.
behind paneling, behind batt-type insulation, inside of
paneled storage space above refrigerator) in such a manner that OEM installed components will not come into
contact with the refrigerator.
- Applications for which there are no alternatives except
to have these OEM installed components pass through
the ventilation compartment the following requirements
must be met: 1) current carrying conductors (120V and
12V) and conductor routing - except for those required
to supply the refrigerator - must be protected by conduit,
raceway, covering boards or equilvalent and in all cases
must meet or exceed the requirements of the current
publication of NFPA70 and article 551 of the NEC, 2)
all OEM installed components shall maintain a minimum clearance of 1/2" clearance from the cooling unit
to ensure that they will not come into contact with the
heated boiler or tubing, 3) the routing of OEM installed
components shall not impede the ventilation path for
proper operation or combustion, 4) OEM installed components must not come into contact with the refrigerator
mounting rails or frame and the refrigerator should not
be modied in any way to accommodate the location or
routing of OEM installed components.
Read and follow these points:
• The refrigerator must be level and installed in a substantial
enclosure, see “APPENDIX A”.
• The oor must be solid and level and able to support the
weight of the refrigerator and its contents.
• Ensure that any adjacent heat sources, (e.g. furnace exhaust
vent) do not affect the ventilation of the refrigerator.
• All joints in the enclosure must be sealed to prevent gas
leakage into the living area.
• The enclosure must be free of exposed materials that may
potentially damage the refrigerator, e.g. screw tips, staples,
etc.
• 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, see FIG 2.
• The refrigerator must not be installed 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.
- If the refrigerator is sitting on a wood oor, the exposed
portion behind the refrigerator will need to be painted
with an anti-wicking paint to protect against water or
moisture that comes in through the side or roof vent.
• It is required that OEM installed components such as
current-carrying conductors (i.e. wiring), plumbing, etc. except for those required to supply the refrigerator - shall
not pass through the refrigerator enclosure except where:
Failure to adhere to the above installation criteria could create a combustion hazard.
CLEARANCES

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
Ventilation is one of the requirements for proper cooling unit
operation. Clearances and the use of vents ensure a natural
draft which is necessary for good refrigeration.
Make sure to read and follow these points:
• Certied installation requires one lower fresh air intake
vent and one upper exhaust vent.
• Vents should be centered to the back of the refrigerator. If it
is not possible to center the vent, refer to the offset installation, see “OFFSET VENTS”, page 8.
• Safety certication requires specied Dometic vents, see
“APPENDIX C”.
• Any obstruction of either of the vent openings is not permissible, e.g. roof rafters, roong materials, etc.
• Lower vent: Make sure the opening is even with - or - below the oor level to allow any raw LP gas to escape to the
outside. NOTE! Floor must not interfere with or block vent
openings.

COMBUSTION HAZARD. Unburned “Raw” LP
gas is heavier-than-air and can collect at oor level
creating a combustion hazard.
• For vents installed above oor level, additional holes are
required to vent these gases to the out-of-doors. Use FIG 5
for details.
FIG 5 - VENT ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL
When lower vent frame is positioned
higher than the refrigerator compartment oor, the following is required:
• 2 holes with a diameter of 1-3/4”

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
• The ow of combustion and ventilating air must not be
obstructed, e.g. by an open RV door.
• Do not install an awning too close to the upper side vent.
Allow a distance of approx. 6-12”.
• The minimum vent height requirements, listed in “AP-
PENDIX B”, are part of the safety certication and must be
complied with.
RECESS DEPTH
Spaces of more than 1”, see FIG 6, from rear wall to the refrigerator may create performance problems. Fresh air will not
pass through the cooling unit which will reduce the efciency.
It is important to check the recess depth and add bafe(s) to
increase the movement of air across the coil.
FIG 6 - RECESS DEPTH
If there is more than 1” between the inside of the ventilation compartment and cooling unit, it is required to add box
bafe(s) starting above the lower access vent and running perpendicular to the side wall. The bafe should extend up to the
ceiling (in board roof vent vent applications) or up to within
1/2” lower than the condenser ns (roof vent applications). For
upper and lower side wall vent applications the bafe should
come within 1/2" lower than the condenser ns. This will
ensure more efcient operation in warm temperatures. Make
sure the bafe is of the same width as the ventilation compartment, see FIG 7.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
Be careful when installing the refrigerator model
NDM1062. It is equipped with the latest vacuum
insulated panel technology. The insulating panels are
located on the top, back, bottom, sides and doors. If
the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will occur,
resulting in poor refrigerator performance.
For a proper installation, follow these instructions:
• Carefully place the refrigerator in the enclosure.
• Verify 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 applied to the rear
surface of the front frame for this purpose. The sealing
strip should provide a complete isolation of the appliance’s
combustion system from the vehicle interior.
RM2351, RM2354, RM2410 and RM2510: Apply a seal-
ing strip to the foremost oor of the enclosure, see FIG 11.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when the
refrigerator is put in place!
FIG 11 - RM2351, RM2354, RM2410 & RM2510
SECURING THE REFRIGERATOR
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.
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 screws (not included).
RM2351 & RM2354
Install the ve screws in the following order:
1. Four screws installed through the front frame.
(To cover the screw heads, use the plugs in the parts
bag.)
2. One screw installed in the rear base.
FIG 13 - SECURING RM2351 & RM2354
Apply sealing strip along oor here.
Sealing strip must be width of enclosure.
1. TWO SCREWS INSTALLED THROUGH THE
FRONT BASE.
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.
a) Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the
bottom hinge plate(s).
b) Secure the refrigerator and the lower front
strip with two screws.
Models with 1 Hinge Plate
One screw through the hinge and
on the opposite side and then, one
screw through the lower front strip.
Models with 1 Hinge Plate
The hinge plate can be located on
the left or right side depending
on the door swing. Slip under the
hinge and swing into place.

GAS CONNECTION
Hook up to the gas supply line is accomplished at the manual
gas valve, which is furnished with a 3/8” SAE (UNF 5/8” -18)
male are connection. ALWAYS use a back-up wrench when
loosening and tightening gas connections. All completed connections should be examined for leaks using an approved leak
detection solution.
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never use an open ame
to check for gas leaks. Failure to obey this warning could cause an explosion resulting in death or
severe personal injury.
The gas supply system must incorporate a pressure regulator
to maintain a supply pressure of not more than 11 inches water
column. When testing the gas supply system at test pressures:
• > 1/2 psi - the refrigerator and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
• ≤ 1/2 psi - the appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve.
