Installation

Ensure that the refrigerator is in good order and not damaged when opening the packaging for the first time. Any transportation damage must be reported promptly to the place of purchase within 24 hours of taking delivery. Handle the product with the utmost care and attention.

1. When installing in a cavity/cabinet:

There should be enough space (75mm minimal) at the rear and top of the refrigerator to ensure adequate ventilation. There should be a minimum of 7.5mm of space on each side. Always place the refrigerator on a flat and level surface that is adequate to support its weight. Place the refrigerator in a location away from heat sources and ensure that it has enough ventilation.

2. Connect to a power supply:

Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle 12/24VDC system directly, using the minimal cable cross-section as per the table below, based on the overall length of wire between the refrigerator and the battery. Ensure enough excess wire is kept to allow for moving the fridge into and out of the cabinet.

It is highly recommended that the installation is carried out by a qualified person.

3. Push the refrigerator into cabinet:

Push the refrigerator into the cabinet carefully to avoid scratching the floor, and ensure that the power cable is kept loose, is not kinked or damaged.

4. Mount the fridge with the cabinet wall:

Mounting points (holes) are built into the side wall of the refrigerator. A hole needs to be drilled into the cabinet to line up with the mounting points on the side of the fridge. Fix the fridge with screws (M5, 15mm minimum) to the cabinet walls, then use the screw covers included to hide the screws. A total of 4 screws are required (not included) for installation into a cabinet.

5. Verify the installation:

Once the installation is finished, check the continuity of the negative circuit and carry out all electrical safety testing provided for by current regulations. Protect and fix the cables to prevent accidental pulling and disconnection from any connections or the power source. Ensure cables do not come into contact with heat sources at 50°C or more, or with sharp objects.

Door Hinge Direction

The fridge door can be opened bi-directionally without the use of tools to change the side it hinges from. Diagrams illustrate opening from left to right and from right to left.

Steps to reverse door hinge:

1. Unscrew the bottom hinge (9).
2. Take off the door body (keep the fridge stable).
3. Unscrew and take off the door latch (8), install it into the new location of door latch (6).
4. Remove the door head decorative sheet (5), install it into the new location of the door head decorative sheet (7).
5. Move the top door axle (1) and bottom door axle (3) to the new position (2)(4).
6. Install the door to the refrigerator, fasten the top door axle with the top hinge; install the bottom hinge screws (4), fix the door with the hinge.
7. Close the door; the door opening direction is now reversed.

Diagrams illustrate the process, showing the top and bottom door axles, new positions for axles and latch, the door head decorative sheet, and the bottom hinge.
