VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ventilation is one of the requirements for proper cooling unit
operation. The installation should be made in such a manner as
to separate the combustion system from the living space of the
mobile home or recreational vehicle. Openings for air supply
or for venting of combustion products should have a minimum
dimension of not less than 1/4 inch.
Proper installation requires one lower fresh air intake and
one upper exhaust vent. Certifi ed installations require one
roof vent and one lower side vent. The ventilation kits shown
in this manual have been certifi ed for use with the different
models as displayed in the “Certifi ed Vent System Kits” table.
The ventilation kits must be installed and used without
modifi cation! An opening toward the outside at fl oor level
in the refrigerator compartment has to be provided for
ventilation of heavier-than-air fuel gases. The lower vent
of the recommended kits is provided with proper size
openings. The fl ow of combustion and ventilating air must
not be obstructed.
CAUTION
It is of especially importance that the airfl ow
around the burner housing, the boiler insulation and the fl ow of combustion gases must not
be obstructed. Items placed in the vicinity of the
refrigerator compartment accordingly must be
secured away from the refrigerator tubing and
fl ue.
The lower side vent is fi tted with a panel, which provides
an adequate access opening for ready serviceability of the
burner and control manifold of the refrigerator. This should
be centered on the back of the refrigerator.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
Be careful when installing the refrigerator models
NDM1062 & NDR1292. These are 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:
Make sure the fl oor is solid and level. •
The refrigerator must be level and installed in a substantial •
enclosure.
Do not install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpet-•
ing 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.
per 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 have to be sealed. 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 and RM2354: Apply a sealing strip to the foremost
fl oor of the enclosure.
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. Any space between the counter,
storage area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than
1 1/2 inches should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear
of the refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making
the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the effi ciency of the
refrigerator.
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 fi ve screws in the following order:
Four screws installed through the front frame.1.
(To cover the screw heads, use the plugs in the parts
bag.)
One screw installed in the rear base. 2.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
DRAIN WATER HOSE
Drill a hole through fl ooring. 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
fl oor. 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.
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 fl are connection. All completed connections should be
examined for leaks using a solution of liquid detergent and
water.
WARNING
!
6
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never use an open
fl ame to check for gas leaks. Failure to heed 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.

12V DC connection
RM2451, RM2551, DM2652 & DM2852: These refrigerator
models are not designed for 12V DC operation of the cooling
system. However, 12V DC must be supplied to operate the
controls.
RM2354, RM2454, RM2554, DM2662, DM2663, DM2862,
DM3862 & NDM1062: These refrigerator models require a
continuous 12V DC supply to maintain the automatic energy
system.
The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals of the terminal block on back of the refrigerator.
Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the DC
supply. Do not use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the
conductors. Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route to
the DC supply. Ensure the connections are clean, tight and free
from corrosion.
Ensure that the wires from the battery to the refrigerator are
able to handle the load. The distance the current must travel
from the battery to the refrigerator dictates the AWG wire size
to be used. Inadequate wire sizes can result in a voltage drop
which affects the refrigerator performance.
For 3-way models, the voltage drop affects the wattage output
of the 12V cartridge heater and the refrigerator performance.
The 12V DC heater is fused with a 30 amp. in-line blade fuse.
Recommended wire sizes are displayed in the following table:
For all models, except NDR1292, the refrigerators are equipped
with hinges that makes it possible to change the direction the
door opens by moving the hinges to the opposite side. A special
hinge kit must be used in order to change the door swing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REFRIGERATOR OVERVIEW
ABSORPTION COOLING SYSTEM
In an absorption refrigerator system, ammonia is liquefi ed in
the fi nned condenser coil at the top rear of the refrigerator.
The liquid ammonia then fl ows into the evaporator (inside the
freezer section) and is exposed to a circulating fl ow of hydrogen gas, which causes the ammonia to evaporate, creating a
cold condition in the freezer.
When starting this refrigerator for the very fi rst
time, the cooling cycle may require up to four
hours of running time before the cooling unit is
fully operational.
The tubing in the evaporator section is specifi cally sloped to
provide a continuous movement of liquid ammonia, fl owing
downward by gravity through this section.
Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (less than
2 weight % of the coolant).
Leveling the refrigerator
Leveling is one of the requirements for proper operation with
absorption refrigerators. to ensure proper leveling the vehicle
needs to be leveled only so it is comfortable to live in (no noticeable sloping of fl oor or walls).
Any time the vehicle is parked for several hours with the refrigerator operating, the vehicle should be leveled to prevent this
loss of cooling.
If the refrigerator is operated when it is not level and the
vehicle is not moving, liquid ammonia will accumulate in sections of the evaporator tubing. This will slow the circulation
of hydrogen and ammonia gas, or in severe cases, completely
block it, resulting in a loss of cooling.
When the vehicle is moving, the leveling is not critical, as the
rolling and pitching movement of the vehicle will pass to either
side of level, keeping the liquid ammonia from accumulating in
the evaporator tubing.
MODES OF OPERATION
AUTO mode - AES/AUTO mode
When operating in AUTO - AES/AUTO mode, the AUTO AES/AUTO mode indicator lamp is illuminated. The control system will automatically select between AC and GAS operation.
AC has priority over GAS. Should AC become unavailable, the
system automatically switches to GAS. As soon as AC becomes
available again, the control will switch back to AC regardless
of the status of the GAS operation.
If the CHECK indicator lamp is illuminated the controls have
failed to ignite the burner in the GAS mode. To restart an ignition attempt with the CHECK lamp illuminated (or to turn off
the CHECK lamp), press the ON/OFF button OFF and back
ON again. The control system activates the ignition system and
makes three attempts to light the burner for a period of approx.
45 sec. at two minutes interval. Should 120 V AC become
available while the CHECK indicator lamp is on, the CHECK
lamp will not turn off until the ON/OFF button is pressed OFF
and then ON again.
GAS mode
RM2351, RM2451, RM2551, DM2652 & DM2852:
When operating in GAS mode, the AUTO mode
indicator lamp will be off.
RM2354, RM2454, RM2554, DM2662, DM2663, DM2862,
DM3862, NDM1062 & NDR1292: When operating in GAS
mode, the GAS mode indictor lamp is illuminated.
This mode provides LP gas only. The control system activates
the ignition system and attempts to light the burner for a period
of approx. 45 sec. at two minutes interval. If unsuccessful, the
CHECK indicator lamp will illuminate.
To restart GAS operation, press the ON/OFF button to OFF
and then back ON. The control system attempts a new ignition
sequence.
AUTOMATIC ENERGY SELECTOR SYSTEM
The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic energy selector
system. The user turns the refrigerator on and then, the refrigerator automatically selects the most suitable energy source available, either 120 V AC or LP gas operation. The system can be
set by the user to be fully automatic (AUTO mode is selected)
or to operate on LP gas only (AUTO mode is off).
On 3-way models, the control system can manually be set to
DC mode (DC operation). The DC mode overrides all other
operating modes.
The refrigerator controls will work down to 9.6 V DC.
Purging air from the lines
If the refrigerator has not been used for a long time - or the LP tanks have just been refi lled, air may be trapped in the
supply lines. To purge the air from the lines, turn the refrigerator off and on by pressing the ON/OFF button. If the fl ame is
not lit within 45 seconds, turn the refrigerator off and back on
again. This procedure can be repeated 3 to 4 times. If repeated
attempts fail to start the LP gas operation, check to make sure
that the LP gas supply tanks are not empty and that all manual
shutoff valves in the lines are open.
WARNING
!
6
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. When refueling or parked near gasoline pumps, shut off all
LP gas appliances. Failure to heed this warning
could cause a fi re or explosion resulting in death
or severe personal injury.
When operating in DC mode (3-way models only), the DC
mode indicator lamp is illuminated and all other lamps are off.
To select another operating mode, turn off the DC mode by
pressing the DC selector button. The DC lamp is turned off.
When there is no charging of the house battery, switch to
AUTO mode or GAS mode since running the refrigerator on
12 V DC will quickly drain the battery.
LIMP MODE OF OPERATION
In the event of a failure of a major operating component, the
control system will continue to operate the cooling system.
RM2351, RM2451, RM2551, DM2652 & DM2852
If the control can not read the temperature sensor and control
the preset temperature, the control will run the cooling unit
continuously at the energy source available. The refrigerator
will continue to operate in this mode indefi nitely - or - until a
new sensor is installed and the system reset.
The fi rst limp mode of operation will execute if the display 1)
module becomes non functional. The control system reverts
to full automatic operation selecting the best energy source
available with AC, DC (3-way only) and GAS priority. The
temperature setting is maintained at the mid position. The
power module will continually attempt to reestablish operation of the display module.
The second limp mode of operation will execute when 2)
a failure of the temperature sensing device or associated
electronic circuitry occurs. If this should happen, the control system operates on the energy source selected via the
control panel. The cooling unit runs continuously on the selected energy source. The refrigerator continues to operate
in this mode indefi nitely or until a new sensor is installed
and the system is reset.
During the summer months of high temperatures and humidity,
the metal frame between the freezer and fresh food compartments may have water droplets forming. The number of water
droplets will increase if the vehicle is not air conditioned during these months. The refrigerator comes standard with a 12 V
DC climate control that will evaporate the water droplets when
they form. The climate control can be left on continuously or
used only when temperatures require it. Note that when turned
on, the climate control will draw 12 V DC power continuously.
Turn it off when a charging source is not available.
LOW AMBIENT CONTROL
DM3862, NDM1062 & NDR1292
The refrigerator is equipped with an exclusive feature that
allows for trouble-free operation in low ambient temperature
(like below 50°F) for extended periods of time. Once the outdoor temperature is above 50°F, the low ambient switch should
be turned off.
The thermostat controls both the gas and electric operation,
thereby eliminating the necessity of resetting each time a different energy source is employed. After the initial start-up,
the thermostat should be adjusted to the desired temperature
setting.
FIRE HAZARD. Before lighting the gas burner,
after that the RV has not been used for some
time, please check that the gas path between
the burner jet and the burner tube has not been
obstructed. Failure to heed this warning could
cause a fi re resulting in personal injury.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
NDM1062
The following information, “USING THE ICE MAKER”, is only
valid for refrigerator model
NDM1062 equipped with ice maker.
USING THE ICE MAKER
How it works
Before the ice maker can operate, make sure that the:
Refrigerator is connected to 120 V AC. •
Water valve supplying the refrigerator is turned on.•
Ice level bail arm is in its fully down position.•
Ice level
bail arm
Down
position
When the ice maker thermostat senses the preset temperature
for the ejection of the ice cubes, the fi ngers will start to rotate,
dumping any ice cubes and fi lling the mold with water. When
the storage container is full, the bail arm will come in contact
with the ice cubes. The bail arm cannot return to the full down
position and the ice production is stopped until the bin is emptied, or ice cubes are removed.
When on the road, the water in the ice maker might, depending
on road conditions, splash out of the mold. To avoid splashing,
the mold needs to be either empty - or - the water in the mold
must be frozen.
Water supply
The water supply system must have a minimum pressure of
15 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Use a 1/4” diameter
water line to the water valve at the rear of the refrigerator. The
water line must have a manual shutoff valve placed where it is
easily accessible.
The maximum water level is represented by a thin line. It is
essential that the water level does not exceed this line!
Adjusting the size of cubes
The fi rst container of ice cubes should be dumped if the water
system has been winterized or not used for several weeks.
Note that if the ice maker have been cleaned and drained, no
ice cubes will be dumped into the bin during the fi rst cycle.
The fi rst few cycles may produce small cubes due to air trapped
in the water lines. Once the ice maker has run through several
cycles and if the cubes are too small or sticking together, adjustment is necessary on the amount of water entering the mold.
To adjust the size of cubes, follow these steps:
Remove the protective cover from the ice maker 1.
mechanism.
Locate the adjusting screw under the protective 2.
cover.
Adjusting screw
Cover
To increase the size of cubes, turn the screw counter 3.
clockwise. To decrease the cube size or if the cubes
are stuck together, turn the screw clockwise.
NOTE! To prevent overfi lling, DO NOT turn the adjustment
screw more than one revolution at a time. Allow the ice maker
to cycle several times before another adjustment is made. Be
sure to replace the protective cover on the cycle after the adjustments are complete.
Maximum
water level
If necessary change the water fl ow by adjusting the water supply, see the step-by-step instruction in
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never store explosive
substances in the refrigerator, such as cigarette
lighter fuel, gasoline, ether or the like. Failure
to heed this warning could cause an explosion
resulting in death or severe personal injury.
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Cool the refrigerator before placing any food inside. • Never
put hot food or drinks into the refrigerator - cool them fi rst.
T• he food storage compartment is completely closed and
unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required
low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily should be
covered.
Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their •
crispness.
The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cool-•
ing fi ns and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered
when placing different types of food in the refrigerator.
Arrange all food in the unit to allow for free air circulation. •
Do not overpack because a stuffed refrigerator must work
harder and will have higher cabinet temperatures.
Do not leave the unit’s door open any longer than necessary. •
This will reduce frost formation and increase the effi ciency
of the refrigerator.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing
of food.
To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes, •
containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.
Meat or fi sh, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the •
frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled fi rst in the refrigerator. They can be stored about
three times longer in the frozen food compartment as compared to the fresh food compartment.
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in •
the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the bottom
of the aluminum liner.
Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compart-•
ment.
To prevent frost buildup, which can reduce the effi ciency, •
wipe excess moisture off items being placed in the compartment.
Ice cubes
Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment. For faster
ice making, the trays should be placed in direct contact with the
bottom of the freezer compartment.
Ice will be made more rapidly if f the thermostat is set at its
highest position, but be sure to move the thermostat back
to normal setting when the ice is formed; the refrigerator might
otherwise become too cold.

could result from warping the metal or
plastic parts.
When all the frost has melted, dry the interior with a 4.
clean cloth.
Turn the refrigerator back on. 5.
CAUTION
Draining the ice maker
If the RV is in storage and the refrigerator or the DC power is
turned “OFF” there will be no 12V DC present to operate the
heat tape; therefore, it will be necessary to drain and dry the ice
maker. This will prevent water from freezing in the solenoid
valve or becoming stale and producing bad tasting ice.
If the temperatures are expected to reach or exceed 0°F/-18°C
the ice maker must be drained to prevent component damage
and leaks.
NOTE! Water, compressed air and AC power are required to
drain the ice maker. Draining of the ice maker must be done by
a qualifi ed service technician.
To drain the ice maker, follow these steps:
