Operating the device safely

DANGER! Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.

Electrocution hazard

Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands.

CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Electrocution hazard

Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry. Health hazard · Make sure that you only put items in the device which may be chilled at the selected temperature.
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the device.

The device is suitable for installation in:

caravans
motor homes

Preparing the installation

| CAUTION! Risk of injury
The device has sharp edges and gloves should be used duringinstallation
---|---
| NOTICE! Damage hazard

The refrigerator may not be installed in the rear of mobile homes with the door pointing in the direction of travel.
Leave the device in a vertical position for at least 3 hours before starting up for the first time.

---|---
| NOTE

In Camper Vans an undercounter unit can be installed with the door pointing in the direction of travel, as long as it is installed next to the sliding door and behind the co-driver’s seat.
If the compressor fridge replaces an absoption unit, you have to make sure, that the external ventilation grills are completely closed, otherwise there is the risk, that the compressor will not run at low ambient temperature (~below 0 °C).

---|---

When installing the refrigerator, note the following:

Ensure that the floor is solid and level. Park the vehicle horizontally for this purpose.
The refrigerator must be installed so that it is easily accessible for service work easy to de-install and install can be easily removed from the vehicle
The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands secure when the vehicle is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. , and fig. , for this purpose.
Also note the following recess dimension (fig. ):

Installing the condensation drain

| NOTE

Condensation can form inside the refrigerator due to frequent door opening, incorrectly stored food or food that is stored when it is too warm.
Condensation must be drained with a constant slope.

---|---

Install the condensation drain as follows:

➤ Run the condensation hose from the refrigerator through an opening in the floor which goes outside.

Connecting the power supply

| NOTICE!

The electrical installation and repairs may only be performed by a specialist in accordance with the applicable national regulations and standards.
To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance, the cable should be kept as short as possible and should not be interrupted if possible. For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.
Before connecting check whether the operating voltage and the battery voltage correspond (see type plate).

---|---

➤ Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length according to fig. ,
➤ Connect the cables to the AMP connector of the refrigerator (fig. , ).
➤ Connect the other ends of the cables to the 12 Vg power supply:

| NOTICE!

Make sure the polarity is correct.
Fit the positive (+) cable with a 10 A fuse.

---|---

– as directly as possible
– rd (red): with a fuse protection (10 A) fitted to the positive (+) pole
– bk (black): to the negative (–) pole

Securing the refrigerator

| WARNING! Fire Hazard

When positioning the device, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the device.

---|---
| CAUTION!
Only screw through the bushings provided, otherwise foamed components, such as cables, can be damaged.
---|---
| NOTE

Attach the side walls or the attached strips so that the screws are tight, even under increased loads (while driving).
The refrigerator is designed to provide a regulated air flow. The manufacturer does not recommend to leave additional space between the refrigerator and the recess walls.

---|---

➤ Move the refrigerator into its final location with the front flange sitting tight against the recess front.
➤ Fasten the screws (fig. , ) through the plastic bushings in the sides of the refrigerator, and further into the wall.
➤ Put the caps onto the screw heads.
