User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX RM4360

[. . . ] This product is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician. This product should be serviced by an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. [. . . ] WARNING-THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrigerator must be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a 13 amp (BS 1363) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp fuse. In other countries the fuse rating will depend upon the voltage and local practice. For operation on 12V, the boiler of the cooling unit is fitted with an 75 watt heating element (2, fig. 10) connected to a terminal block (3) attached to the back of the refrigerator. Before installing the refrigerator, the wiring for the 12V supply should be connected to the terminal block, leaving enough slack subsequent insertion and withdrawal of the refrigerator for servicing purposes. The wire used for connecting must be at least 2 mm2 in crosssectional area (e. g. 28/030 mm) and should be kept as short as possible. Polarity is not important therefore is does not matter which way round the two wires are connected to the terminal block on the refrigerator. A suitable size switch or plug and socket should be fitted in a convenient position in the wiring in the caravan so that the refrigerator can be readily disconnected from the 12V supply when 12V operation is not required, see fig. To prevent undue voltage drop (which would impair the performance of the cooling unit) the wiring for the 12V refrigerator supply should be connected directly to the terminals of the main battery in the towing vehicle and not to an auxiliary battery in the car or caravan. Existing wiring in the car should not be used for the refrigerator supply as this would normally be intended for a different purpose and may not be capable of carrying the 7 amp (min. ) load of the refrigerator satisfactorily. 12a 12V WIRING ARRANGEMENT Type 12S (Supplementary) 7 pin Terminal block on back of plug and socket Switch or plug refrigerator.

The ventilation openings above and below the refrigerator must not be reduced in size or obstructed in any way otherwise the performance of the cooling unit may be impaired. Levelling When the refrigerator is operating, liquid refrigerant trickles theough the pipework of the cooling unit under the influence of gravity. To enable a satisfactory flow to take place, the unit must be reasonably level, from side to side and from front to back, otherwise refrigerant can accumulate in pockets instead of flowing back to the bottom, and the cooling process may be impaired or cease. 8 In a caravan on tow, the usual continuous rolling and pitching motion, even on long hill climbs, will not normally cause the operation of the cooling unit to be affected unduly, but when the caravan is at rest for more than about half an hour, a list of more than about 3º in any direction may interfere with the operation. (Note: 3º corresponds to about 50 mm at the end of a metre-long plum-line, or 1 1/2" at the end of a 30" plumb-line). If the list does not exceed 8º, cooling is usually resumed when the refrigerator returns to the upright position, but if it does exceed 8º, the burner should be extinguished or the electricity supply disconnected, as applicable, soon after the list has occurred otherwise the cooling unit may become damaged due to overheating of the boiler. When the caravan is to be at rest for a period, with the refrigerator operating, the caravan should be levelled, in both directions, so that the refrigerator is level. [. . . ] Clean and thoroughly dry the interior and accessories and leave the door open otherwise the air inside may go stale giving rise to an unpleasant odour which could be difficult to remove at a later date. 25.
