• Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow away (either upwards or to the sides, fig. 3, page 4).
• The appliance is designed for ambient temperatures between +16°C and +38°C.
• If the appliance is powered by the mains, ensure that the power supply has a residual current circuit breaker.

7.1 Installing the refrigerator

NOTICE!

• Fasten the device as described in the operating manual to prevent hazards.
• Keep objects clear of openings in the housing or mounting structure (such as ventilation slots).
• The refrigerator is only suitable for installation in a fitted niche. Once it is installed, only the front of the appliance may be accessible.
• If brakes are applied fully, then strong forces act in the direction of travel. In order to prevent damage to the cooling appliance and the vehicle interior, the cooling appliance should not be installed with the front facing the direction of travel.

The appliance is designed for ambient temperatures between +16 °C and +38 °C. In continuous operation, the air humidity may not exceed 90 %.

Set up the fridge in a dry, sheltered place. Avoid placing it near heat sources such as radiators, gas ovens, hot water pipes etc.

Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow away (either upwards or to the sides). Therefore make sure there is adequate ventilation (fig. 3, page 4).

No. in fig. 3, page 4 Explanation

1 Cold intake air

2 Hot waste air

3 Condenser

4 Spacing above the fridge if insufficient air can circulate above or at the side.

The condensation which forms during normal operation of the refrigerator can be drained off via two outlets on the appliance. For delivery purposes, these outlets are sealed. The two outlets are located on the rear and on the underside of the appliance (fig. 4, page 4).

▶ Choose the condensation outlet most suitable for the place of installation and remove its cap.
▶Insert a sharp object (e.g. a screwdriver) approx. 25 to 30 mm into the outlet to pierce open the inside of the appliance.

▶ Remove the drip-tray (fig. 5 1, page 5).
▶ Connect a hose (fig. 6 2, page 5) to the outlet connections (fig. 6 1, page 5).

7.2 Connecting the refrigerator

Connect the refrigerator to DC power

The refrigerators can be operated with 12 V--- or with 24 V---.

NOTICE!

To avoid voltage drops and loss of performance, keep the cable as short as possible and avoid joins.

For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or multi-way adapters.

▶Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length according to fig. 7, page 5.

Key for fig. 7, page 5

Co-ordinate axis Explanation Unit

I Cable length m

∅ Cable cross section mm²

NOTICE!

Make sure that the polarity is correct.

▶Before starting up the appliance for the first time, check whether the operating voltage and the battery voltage match (see type plate).
▶Connect the refrigerator

– as directly as possible to the poles of the battery or
- to a 12 or 24 V== socket.

Fit a fuse in the positive wire of 15 A (for 12 V) or 7.5 A (for 24 V) (fig. 8 1, page 6).

▶ Connect the red cable (fig. 8 rt, page 6) to the positive terminal of the battery.
▶ Connect the black cable (fig. 8 sw, page 6) to the negative terminal of the battery.

NOTICE!

Disconnect the refrigerator and other electric loads from the battery before connecting the battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage can damage the appliance electronics.

For safety reasons the refrigerator is equipped with an electronic system to prevent the polarity being reversed. This protects the refrigerator against reversed polarity when connecting to a battery and against short circuiting. To protect the battery, the refrigerator switches off automatically if the voltage is insufficient (see table below).

Cut-off voltage 10.4 V 22.8 V

Cut-in voltage 11.7 V 24.2 V

Connecting the refrigerator to AC power (accessory)

DANGER! Danger of fatal injury!

• Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are standing on a wet surface.
• If you are operating your refrigerator on board a boat with a mains connection of 230 V using a shore connection, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the 230 V mains supply and the refrigerator.
  Seek advice from a trained technician.

You can connect the refrigerator to 110 – 240 V AC power if you use the MPS35 rectifier (accessory).

The MPS 35 features a priority circuit which conserves the battery connected. When a 110 – 240 V\~ mains connection is used, the rectifier automatically switches from battery to mains operation.

When disconnected from the 110 – 240 V\~ mains supply, the rectifier automatically switches back to battery operation. Mains operation using the rectifier always takes priority over battery operation.

Proceed as follows when you connect the refrigerator to the AC supply:

▶ Affix the rectifier in its intended position behind the refrigerator (fig. 9, page 6), as shown.
▶ Protect the AC circuit using a slow-blow fuse (250 V/4 A) (fig. 9 3, page 6).

▶ Connect the rectifier as shown in fig. 9, page 6.
▶ Connect the refrigerator to the rectifier (fig. 9 2, page 6):

- Red cable: positive battery terminal

– Black cable: negative battery terminal

▶ Plug the connector into the AC socket (fig. 9 1, page 6).

After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 60 s until the compressor starts up.

Setting the temperature

You can set the temperature to any level using the control knob.

▶ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the temperature control (fig. 2 1 page 3) clockwise.

The built-in thermostat regulates the temperature as follows:

● 1 = least cooling
- 7 = most cooling

NOTE

The cooling capacity can be influenced by:

● the ambient temperature
● the amount of food to be conserved
● the frequency with which the door is opened.

Conserving foodstuffs

You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator. The time for which the food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.

NOTICE!

Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator.

Do not place glass containers containing liquid in the freezer compartment.

NOTE

Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight containers.

▶Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food packaging.
▶Observe the following when using the refrigerator:
- Never re-freeze products which have started defrosting or have been defrosted, but consume them as soon as possible.
- Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in in a suitable box with a lid. This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness will be better conserved.

Detaching the refrigerator drawer
