separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to
conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health
and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment
for recycling, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you
purchased the product. In addition, when disposing of your appliance, the refrigerant must be completely drained
and collected by an authorized technician for recycling prior to disposal. Check with your local Environmental
Agency for recommendations on recycling this appliance in your area.
INSTALLATION
Unpacking and Cleaning
Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance. To avoid injury and causing damage to the appliance,
be extremely cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task. Keep children away from the
packaging material. DANGER OF SUFFOCATION! Wash the inside and outside of the appliance with luke
warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, or
chemical cleaning agents should not be used under any circumstances. A sponge, soft brush or towel is
recommended. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and dry. You may want to leave the lid open allowing the
compartment to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors. Check with your local Environmental
Agency for recommendations on recycling packaging materials in your area.
Positioning
The area in which the appliance is to be installed must be relatively cool, dry, and suitably ventilated. The area must
be protected against any beating rain and free of abundant dust. To ensure proper function, the appliance must be
placed horizontally on a flat, firm, and stable surface resting level on all four supports. The floor must be sufficiently
strong enough to support a fully loaded cabinet. Use wood or metal shims to level the appliance if necessary. Do not
place the appliance close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler, chimney, etc.), and avoid prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight. This appliance uses the exterior walls to transfer heat from the inside of the cabinet. Ensure that
there is adequate space between the appliance and neighboring walls or large objects. A minimum spacing of 3
inches (7.5cm) is highly recommended. This will provide sufficient airflow around the appliance resulting in more
efficient operation and longer appliance lifetime. Always keep the air vent openings of the compressor housing
cover free from dust and obstructions
ELECTRICAL DC CONNECTION
The appliance should be left for 2 hours after positioning before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant oil to
settle. If the appliance has been handled standing on its side or on end, it should be allowed to stand in the normal
operating position for 12 hours before turning it on.
The appliance does not have an on-off switch or disconnect switch. To turn the unit on, simply
connect the unit's lead wires to the solar array using the MC4 connectors (provided).
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO
ANY AC (Alternating Current) POWER SOURCE!
THE APPLIANCE MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A 12V NOMINAL PV ARRAY ONLY.
ATTENTION: Polarity is important in wiring this DC appliance. Be sure that positive terminal of the PV array
coincides with the positive wire to the appliance, and the negative terminal of the PV array coincides with the
negative wire to the appliance. The leads should be connected using cable shoes and screwed connections. Joined
leads should be avoided.
