Notes on using the product
Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator;
allow a gap of at least 200mm around the vents and 100mm around the rest of the unit.
Avoid humidity: Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling.
Do not allow frost to build up. Never clean the appliance using a hose and never submerge the
unit in any liquid.
Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator to work more
efficiently and keep the contents cool.
Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When using the fridge in a
vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it.
3. Operation
Power
:
::
:
The electronic control module controls the compressor motor and has the function of
a three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum, the
compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-in value, the compressor
will restart automatically.
Battery Protection: The Danfoss compressor requires over 10.4 Volts (12 Volt System) or
23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate. If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop
running.
Cable Specification
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table:
