1. Connect a hose with an inside diameter of 10 mm (0.4 inch) (not included) to the

2. Lay the refrigerator on its side in order to access the bottom side.

3. Mount the water drain outlet (fig. 5 2, page 6) aligned to the front or to the

back according to the desired direction.

Proceed as follows to install the refrigerator:

1. If you wish to drain the condensate through a hose:

Mount the water drain port (see chapter “Mounting the water drain outlet (optional)” on page 17)

2. Open the refrigerator door.

3. Remove the blanking plugs (fig. 6 2, page 6).

4. Push the refrigerator into the recess.

6. Press the blanking plugs (fig. 6 2, page 6) into the openings.

7.4 Changing the door hinge

You can also change the hinge of the door, so that it opens to the left rather than the right. ➤ Proceed as shown (fig. 7, page 7 to fig. 8, page 7).

7.5 Connecting the refrigerator to DC voltage

The refrigerator can be operated with a 12 V or a 24 V DC voltage supply. 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): NOTICE! Material damage

• To avoid voltage drops and loss of performance, keep the connection cable as short as possible and directly connected from the power source to the DC wire connection of the unit. Therefore avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.

• Disconnect the cooling device and all power source connections from the battery before you connect the battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device. 12 V 24 V Cut-off voltage

1. Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length

according to fig. 9, page 7. Legend to fig. 9, page 7:

2. Before starting up the device for the first time, check whether the operating volt-

age and the battery voltage match (see type plate).

3. Connect your refrigerator to a plug socket which is fuse-protected at 15 A

(at 12 V) or 7.5 A (at 24 V) (fig. 0 1, page 8).

4. Connect the red cable (fig. 0 rd, page 8) to the positive terminal of the battery.

5. Connect the black cable (fig. 0 bk, page 8) to the negative terminal of the

battery. 8 Using the refrigerator The refrigerator conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves frozen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.

• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy glass containers.

• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

• Only open the refrigerator as often and for as long as necessary.

• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.

• Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.

• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.

• For optimal energy consumption, position the shelves and drawers according to their position on delivery.

• On a regularly basis, make sure the door seal still fits properly.

• Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.

8.2 Switching on the refrigerator

➤ Switch the refrigerator on by pressing the button.

8.3 Setting the temperature

➤ Press the button repeatedly until the desired temperature level is set. The lower/largest LED is the coldest setting. The upper/smallest LED is the warmest setting. To switch from the coldest level to the warmest level press the button again. NOTE

• Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 23).

• Do not use force to press the flap of the freezer.

• Do not pull out the dividing wall if there is ice in the freezer.

The option of operating the refrigerator using a fast-cooling function allows tempera- tures suitable for freezing foods to be reached. ➤ Press the button longer than 3 seconds. ✔ The LED above the button lights up. ➤ Press the button again longer than 3 seconds to operate the refrigerator in normal mode.

8.5 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. NOTE The cooling performance can be affected by:

• The ambient temperature

• The amount of food to be conserved

• The frequency with which the door is opened. NOTICE! Material damage

• Only use the fast-cooling function when the removable freezer com- partment is not being used. Otherwise there is a risk that the freezer compartment becomes too cold and condensate cannot be pre- vented from forming on the outside of the refrigerator. The energy consumption will also increase dramatically.

• Note that bottles and other containers can burst when frozen.

• Note that it is difficult to open the refrigerator directly after closing it. NOTICE! Material damage

• Do not conserve warm foodstuffs in the refrigerator.

• Do not place glass containers containing liquid in the freezer compartment. NOTE Food which can easily absorb tastes and odors, as well as liquids and products with a high alcohol content, should be conserved in air-tight containers.
