2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety
!WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
Electrocution hazard
• Installation and removal of the refrigerator may only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
• Do not operate the refrigerator if it is visibly damaged.
• This refrigerator may only be repaired by qualified personnel.
Improper repairs can result in considerable danger or damage to the
refrigerator.
• If the power cable for this refrigerator is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, customer service or a similarly qualified person in
order to prevent safety hazards.
• When positioning the refrigerator, ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged.
• Plug the device to sockets that ensure proper connection especially
when the device needs to be grounded.
Fire hazard
• The refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is highly flammable and in the
event of a leakage combustible gases could build up if the appliance
is in a small room.
In the event of any damage to the refrigerant circuit:
– Keep naked flames and potential ignition sources away from the
refrigerator.
– Ventilate the room well.
– Switch off the refrigerator.
For refrigerators with R600a refrigerant:
• The refrigeration circuit contains a small quantity of an environmentally
friendly but flammable refrigerant. Itdoes not damage the ozone layer
and does not increase the greenhouse effect. Any leaking refrigerant
may ignite.
• Do not use or store the refrigerator in confined spaces with none or
minimal air flow.

EN
RC(S)(L)(D)10-Series Safety instructions
11
• Keep the installation recess for the refrigerator free of any electrical
components and luminaires which during normal or abnormal opera-
tion produce sparks or arcs (i.e. relays or fuse boxes).
Explosion hazard
• Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this refrigerator while it is in
operation.
• Do not store any explosive substances, such as aerosol cans with
propellants, in the refrigerator.
Health hazard
• This refrigerator can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the refrigerator in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
• Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload the
refrigerator.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
refrigerator.
Risk of child entrapment
• Ensure that the shelves are mounted and secured so that children can-
not lock themselves in the refrigerator.
• Before disposing of your old refrigerator:
– Dismantle the drawers.
– Leave the shelves in the refrigerator so that children cannot climb
inside.
– Take off the doors.
!CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Health hazard
• To avoid a hazard due to instability of the refrigerator, it must be fixed
in accordance with the installation instructions.
• Keep ventilation openings, on the refrigerator and in its enclosure or in
the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.

EN

4.1 Preparing the installation
!
A
I
When installing the refrigerator, note the following:
• Ensure that the floor is solid and level.
Park the vehicle horizontally for this purpose.
• The refrigerator must be installed so that
– it is easily accessible for service work
– easy to uninstall and install
– can be easily removed from the vehicle
• The refrigerator must be installed in a recess so that it stands secure when the
vehicle is in motion. Note the dimensions in fig. 1, page 3 to fig. 3, page 5 for
this purpose.
• The refrigerator must be installed with a minimum distance of 5 mm from the floor
to ensure that the door can be opened properly (fig. 5, page 6).
– Make sure that no carpets interfere with the free movement of the door.
– Avoid placing the refrigerator directly on the floor.
• Also note the following recess dimension (fig. 4, page 5):
CAUTION! Risk of injury
The device has sharp edges and gloves should be used during installa-
tion.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• The refrigerator may not be installed in the rear of mobile homes with
the door pointing in the direction of travel.
• Leave the device in a vertical position for at least 3 hours before start-
ing up for the first time.
NOTE
• In campervans an undercounter unit can be installed with the door
pointing in the direction of travel, as long as it is installed next to the
sliding door and behind the co-driver’s seat.
• If the compressor fridge replaces an absorption unit, you have to
make sure, that the external ventilation grills are completely closed,
otherwise there is the risk, that the compressor will not run at low
ambient temperature (~below 0 °C).

4.2 Installing the compressor unit (RC 10.4M.90)
The compressor unit is removable and can be mounted apart from the refrigerator.
Installation location
Observe the following instructions when selecting an installation location for the
compressor unit:
• Choose a location for the compressor unit at a maximum distance of 1.5 m from
the refrigerator.
• Prepare a closed duct. The duct must be at one end open and equipped with a
ventilation grille.
• Ensure that the ventilation grille has a free cross-section of at least 60 cm2.
• Note the following maximum dimensions of the duct (fig. 4, page 5):

Mounting the compressor unit
A
1. Place the compressor unit in the duct with the fan side facing the ventilation
grille.
2. Install the compressor unit (1) as shown (fig. 9, page 8).
4.3 Installing the condensate drain
I
Install the condensate drain as follows:
➤Run the condensation water hose from the refrigerator through an opening in the
floor which goes outside.
4.4 Connecting the power supply
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Lay the suction pipe in such a way that it is not damaged (e.g. by
sharp edges or strong bends). Observe the minimum bending
radius of the suction pipe (≥R30 mm).
• Ensure that the air from the compressor unit can flow out through the
ventilation grille without obstruction. Do not block the air flow and
do not cover the ventilation grille (e.g. by a closed cabinet door).
NOTE
• Condensation can form inside the refrigerator due to frequent door
opening, incorrectly stored food or food that is stored when it is too
warm.
• Condensation must be drained with a constant slope.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• The electrical installation and repairs may only be performed by a
specialist in accordance with the applicable national regulations and
standards.
• To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance, the cable
should be kept as short as possible and should not be interrupted if
possible. For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or power
strips.
• Before connecting check whether the operating voltage and the bat-
tery voltage correspond (see type plate).

EN
Installing the refrigerator RC(S)(L)(D)10-Series
18
1. Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length
according to fig. 6, page 6.
2. Connect the cables to the AMP connector of the refrigerator (fig. 7, page 7).
3. Connect the other ends of the cables to the 12 Vg power supply:
A
– As directly as possible
– rd (red): With a fuse protection (10 A) fitted to the positive (+) pole
– bk (black): To the negative (–) pole
4.5 Securing the refrigerator
A
I
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location with the front flange sitting tight
against the recess front.
2. Fasten the screws (fig. 8, page 7) through the plastic bushings in the sides of
the refrigerator, and further into the wall.
3. Put the caps onto the screw heads.
4.6 Installing the control panel
A
RC10.4P.100
➤Install the control panel as shown (fig. 0, page 8).
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Fit the positive (+) cable with a 10 A fuse.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Only screw through the bushings provided, otherwise foamed compo-
nents, such as cables, can be damaged.
NOTE
• Attach the side walls or the attached strips so that the screws are
tight, even under increased loads (while driving).
• The refrigerator is designed to provide a regulated air flow. The man-
ufacturer does not recommend to leave additional space between
the refrigerator and the recess walls.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Lay the connection cables in such a way that they are not damaged (e.g.
by sharp edges or strong bends).
