If the device is left empty for long periods: – Switch off the device. – Defrost the device. – Clean and dry the device. – Leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the device.
If the refrigerator is exposed to a room temperature of below +10 °C for an extended period of time, a uniform temperature cannot be guaranteed in the freezer compartment. This can lead to an increase of the freezer compartment temperature and the goods stored in it may defrost.
Risk of injury
The device door or the freezer door can completely detach from the device if used incorrectly. Push the doors closed until you hear a clear click at the top and bottom.
Do not lean on the open device door.

Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.
Never immerse the device in water.
Protect the device and the cable against heat and moisture.
Make sure that foodstuffs do not touch the walls of the cooling area.
NOTE
Ask your vehicle manufacturer if the battery management of your vehicle shuts down the devices to protect the battery.
Put the device door and the freezer door into the winter position if you are not going to use the device for a longer period of time. This prevents mold from forming.
For ambient temperatures of +15 °C to +25 °C, select the average temperature setting.
Installing the refrigerator
CAUTION! Health hazardTo avoid a hazard due to instability of the device, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions
CAUTION! Risk of injuryThe 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.
