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.

Thus, when building in
the fridge, it is not
possible anymore to
save 8mm height by
taking off the feet.

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.

Special Features RM 8xxx
All RM 8xxx fridges are equipped
with new door hinges made of
metal with a plastic casing

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.

MES AES
The electronics were
completely renewed.
Instead of using a
semiconductor, as with
AES III or MES, the new
generation uses a
microprocessor. The AES-
models 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.
