B. 06/99 OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTROLUX REFRIGERATORS INTRODUCTION We are pleased that you have chosen this refrigerator and hope you will derive much satisfaction from using it, but first a few well-meant words of advice: It is important to read through these instructions carefully before using the refrigerator. To ensure good refrigeration and economical operation, the refrigerator must be installed and used as described in these instructions. [. . . ] If the refrigerator fails to work on 12 V, check: q That the 12 V supply is connected to the refrigerator. q That the fuse on the 12 V supply is intact. If the refrigerator fails to work on 230 V, check: q That the 230 V supply is connected to the refrigerator. If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because: 1. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from wire mesh etc). 9 DEFROSTING Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects refrigerator performance. Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator. To defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items of fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so they should be consumed within 24 h or discarded. Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice. The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a receptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates. Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be mopped up with a cloth. When the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and restart it. Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes. 2. The temperature control setting is incorrect. . 0, 27 kg Cooling medium Ammonia (R 717) SOME USEFUL HINTS Make sure that: q The refrigerator is not operating on 12 V when the vehicle is parked, otherwise you will drain the car battery in a short time. q Defrosting is carried out periodically. q The refrigerator is left with the door(s) ajar when it is not to be used for some time. q Liquids or items with a strong odour are well packaged. q The ventilation openings are unobstructed. [. . . ] Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator. 12 V Supplies Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery by a direct cable. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of the connecting cable between battery and refrigerator must be at least 2. 5 mm2 if the distance is less than 9 meters, and at least 4 mm2 if the distance is more than 9 meters To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at max. To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when the vehicle engine is not running, for example by fitting an ignition control relay.
