7.2 Notes on installing the refrigerator
!
Observe the following when installing the refrigerator:
• Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow away
(either upwards or to the sides, fig. 8).
Key for fig. 8
NOTICE! DANGER OF DAMAGE
• The cooling device can withstand a short term inclination of 30°, for
example on boats. When setting up the refrigerator, note that it must
be fastened to take account of this. If you have any questions regard-
ing installation, consult your specialist dealer.
• Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow
away (either upwards or to the sides, fig. 8).
• The appliance is designed for ambient temperatures between
+16 °C (61 °F) and +43 °C (109 °F).
• CRX110ACDC, CRX140ACDC: In winter mode the appliance can be
operated at ambient temperatures between +10 °C (50 °F) and
+16 °C (61 °F).
WARNING! Fire hazard!
• When positioning the device, ensure the supply cord is not trapped
or damaged.
• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power
supplies at the rear of the device.

Observe the following installation dimensions:
• Keep objects clear of openings in the housing or installation structure (such as
ventilation slots, etc.).
• Condensate is produced when the refrigerator is operating normally. You can
either wipe up the condensate on the floor of the refrigerator at regular intervals,
or drain it through a water drain outlet in the floor of the refrigerator (see chapter
“Mounting the water drain outlet (optional)” on page 20).

7.3 Mounting the water drain outlet (optional)
I8
➤Connect a hose with an inside diameter of 10 mm (0.4 inch) (not included) to the
water drain outlet.
➤Lay the refrigerator on its side in order to access the bottom side.
➤Mount the water drain outlet (fig. 91) aligned to the front or to the back accord-
ing to the desired direction.
➤Remove the water drain plug (fig. 92) inside the refrigerator.
NOTE
The fitment of the drain outlet is recommended in high humidity climates
which will generate more condensate than low humidity applications.
