OME USEFUL HINTS
M
ake sure that:
● Defrosting is carried out periodically.
● The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left open
when it is not to be used for some time.
● Liquids or items with a strong odour are well packaged.
● The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
● The door is secured by means of the travel catch when
the caravan is on the move.

NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
R
EPOSITIONING THE HINGES
T
he door hinges can be moved to the opposite side in the
f
ollowing way:
● Unscrew the upper hinge pin, taking care not to lose the
set of washers and bushes.
● Lift the door from the lower hinge pin.
● Unscrew the pin and mount it on the opposite side hinge.
● Unscrew the travel catch and mount it on the opposite
side.
● Fit the door on the pin and reassemble the pin with
washers and bushes in its new place.
● Check that the door closes properly and seals all round.

NSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN
T
he refrigerator is intended for installation in a caravan or
m
otorhome, and the description relates to this application.
T
he refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat from
h
ot objects (e.g. below a cooker without proper heat shiel-
d
ing).
E
xcessive heat irradiation impairs performance and leads to
i
ncreased energy consumption. For this reason the refrige-
r
ator should be installed if possible not at the entrance side
o
f the vehicle – normally orientated south and often with an
a
wning which would impair the dispersion of heat and com-
b
ustion gases from the ventilation openings.
I
t is not a good practice to install the refrigerator so that the
v
ent openings are covered by the vehicle's entrance door
w
hen this is open. This would reduce the ventilation air flow
t
o the cooling unit and reduce refrigeration performance.
T
he enclosure
T
he refrigerator must be installed in an enclosure, the
d
imensions of which are shown in TECHNICAL DATA.
T
he bottom of the enclosure must be horizontal and even
s
o that the refrigerator can be easily pushed into place. It
m
ust be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the `fridge.
B
attens should be installed at the enclosure and fitted with
s
ealing strips, as shown in fig. 5. (Other suggestions for a
s
ealed installation are shown in a folder which can be
o
btained from Electrolux).
S
lide in the refrigerator until it is flush with the front of the
r
ecess. There must be 10-20 mm free space behind the
r
efrigerator.
F
our fasteners are fitted in plastic bushings in the side walls
o
f the fridge, fig. 8. They are used for securing the refrigera-
t
or in the enclosure.
T
he side walls of the enclosure and/or any wooden braces
i
nstalled to hold the refrigerator must be dimensioned to
s
eat the screws securely, also considering the forces due to
t
he movement of the vehicle.
W
ith the refrigerator in place, drive the screws through the
b
ushings in the lining of the refrigerator into the walls of the
e
nclosure. There must not be more than 3 mm of clearance
b
etween refrigerator and enclosure on each side. If neces-
s
ary, wooden strips or similar should be fitted.
N
ote: This is the only approved means of securing the
r
efrigerator to the enclosure and to the vehicle. Fasteners
p
enetrating other parts of the insulation (PU) foam of the
r
efrigerator might damage components like electric wiring
e
tc.
V
ENTILATION OF THE UNIT
A
t high ambient temperatures the refrigeration unit will only
p
erform adequately when properly ventilated.
T
he refrigeration unit is ventilated via two openings in the
w
all of the caravan (see fig. 6). Fresh air enters through the
l
ower opening and warm air is discharged through the upper
o
ne.
L
ocate the lower opening immediately above the floor of the
r
ecess, and the upper one as high as possible above the
c
ondenser (C) of the refrigeration unit, at least as shown in
f
ig. 7b but preferably as shown in fig. 7a.
