Dometic RM760 Refrigerator User Manual


 
SPECIAL HINTS
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure
and must be level. A spirit level is supplied with each refrigera-
tor and by placing it in the freezer compartment one can level
the refrigerator both ways front to back and side to side. When
installing the refrigerator in the enclosure care should be taken
to ensure a complete sealing between the front frame of the
refrigerator and the top, sides and bottom of the enclosure.
For this purpose a length of sealing strip is applied to the rear
surfaces of the front frame. A sealing strip should also be
applied to the foremost floor of the enclosure as shown in fig 8.
The sealing should provide a complete isolation of the appli-
ance combustion system from the vehicle interior.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the floor
of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in place.
In the front frame and in the base at the rear of the refrigerator
there are holes for screws for fixing the refrigerator in the
enclosure. (Fig. 13).
Any space between counter or storage area and the top of the
refrigerator must be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of
the refrigerator will otherwise become trapped in this space
making the top of the refrigerator hot and reducing the effi-
ciency of the refrigerator.
Do not install so that an adjacent heat producing appliance will
affect the construction or performance of the refrigerator.
TO CHANGE THE DOOR OPENING FROM
LEFT TO RIGHT OR VICE VERSA
Open the door and unscrew the two screws holding the top
front cover. The screws are accessible form beneath. Remove
the top hinge pin and lift out the door.
The lower pin for the refrigerator door should be shifted to the
opposite side.
The door can then be remounted. Before the top front cover is
refitted check that the door closes easily and that the gasket
seals well on all sides.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before working on the refrigerator make sure that 120 V A.C.
and optional 12 V D.C. leads are disconnected.
Unscrew the hexagon nut 24 and move the valve on the gas
line out of the bracket. Check that the valve slips out of the clip
connection with the switch shaft.
Loosen the screws fixing the refrigerator to the enclosure and
remove the refrigerator.
When replacing the refrigerator make sure that the sealing
strips are properly positioned. After reassembly the gas con-
nection should be checked for leaks.
