5. The ambient temperature is too high.
6. To much food is loaded at one time.
7. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing
strip is defective.
If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service
technician.
The sealed cooling system must not be opened, since it
is under high pressure.
GUARANTEE AND SERVICE
The refrigerator is guaranteed for one full year on condition
that it is used in a correct manner and in accordance with
these operating and installation instructions.
It is also embraced by a European guarantee as described
in the brochure supplied with the refrigerator.
Service and spare parts are obtainable from your dealer or
Electrolux – consult the telephone directory.
MAINTENANCE
Concerning gas- and electric installations, only authorized
experts are allowed to carry out maintenance and repair
works. Besides, it is recommendable to contact an authori-
zed service if it comes to repair works.
According to the valid regulations G607 of DVGW, the gas
installation as well as the connect flue oulets are to be
checked every two years by an expert (this has to be
arranged by the person responsible).
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REPOSITIONING THE HINGES
The door hinges can be moved to the opposite side in the
following 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.
INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN
The refrigerator is intended for installation in a caravan or
motorhome, and the description relates to this application.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat from
hot objects (e.g. below a cooker without proper heat shiel-
ding).
Excessive heat irradiation impairs performance and leads to
increased energy consumption. For this reason the refrige-
rator should be installed if possible not at the entrance side
of the vehicle – normally orientated south and often with an
awning which would impair the dispersion of heat and com-
bustion gases from the ventilation openings.
It is not a good practice to install the refrigerator so that the
vent openings are covered by the vehicle's entrance door
when this is open. This would reduce the ventilation air flow
to the cooling unit and reduce refrigeration performance.
The enclosure
The refrigerator must be installed in an enclosure, the
dimensions of which are shown in TECHNICAL DATA.
The bottom of the enclosure must be horizontal and even
so that the refrigerator can be easily pushed into place. It
must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the `fridge.
Battens should be installed at the enclosure and fitted with
sealing strips, as shown in fig. 5. (Other suggestions for a
sealed installation are shown in a folder which can be
obtained from Electrolux).
Slide in the refrigerator until it is flush with the front of the
recess. There must be 10-20 mm free space behind the
refrigerator.
Four fasteners are fitted in plastic bushings in the side walls
of the fridge, fig. 8. They are used for securing the refrigera-
tor in the enclosure.
The side walls of the enclosure and/or any wooden braces
installed to hold the refrigerator must be dimensioned to
seat the screws securely, also considering the forces due to
the movement of the vehicle.
With the refrigerator in place, drive the screws through the
bushings in the lining of the refrigerator into the walls of the
enclosure. There must not be more than 3 mm of clearance
between refrigerator and enclosure on each side. If neces-
sary, wooden strips or similar should be fitted.
Note: This is the only approved means of securing the
refrigerator to the enclosure and to the vehicle. Fasteners
penetrating other parts of the insulation (PU) foam of the
refrigerator might damage components like electric wiring
etc.
VENTILATION OF THE UNIT
At high ambient temperatures the refrigeration unit will only
perform adequately when properly ventilated.
The refrigeration unit is ventilated via two openings in the
wall of the caravan (see fig. 6). Fresh air enters through the
lower opening and warm air is discharged through the upper
one.
Locate the lower opening immediately above the floor of the
recess, and the upper one as high as possible above the
condenser (C) of the refrigeration unit, at least as shown in
fig. 7b but preferably as shown in fig. 7a.
