Installation Guide

You’ve bought your refrigerator and you’re ready to install it in your car, caravan or camper trailer. Please
take the time to read the following information to ensure your refrigerator will run at its peak eciency
and guarantee you’ll get a long life out of your fridge.
Cross ow ventilation ensures that there is sucient fresh air entering the space where your refrigerator is
operating and that the stale hot air is extracted from the area. Fresh air is supplied to the space, through
openings or vents, preferably from the outside to reduce the risk of the hot air recycling through the
condenser. The used hot air is extracted from the space either through natural convection or the use of an
extraction fan. This results in cross ow ventilation.
1. Unpack your new refrigerator and make sure all the parts are there, and that there is no damage to the
cabinet.
2. Make sure the surface your attaching your mounting bracket to is level and solid.
3. Correct air ow and ventilation; this is probably the most important part of the installation. Please read
the Cross Flow Ventilation section of this guide carefully.
*Important!: The compressor and condensing coil in your fridge, is similar to the radiator and motor in
your car. The radiator needs cool air passing across it to remove the heat, to stop your engine overheating
and eventually failing. The same goes for a refrigerator; if cool air isn’t supplied to the condensing coil,
the refrigerator will stop performing and serious damage can be done to the compressor.
4. Make sure the unit is easy accessible and easy to remove, in case of a warranty repair; the unit needs to
be uninstalled and delivered to Evakool or a recommended service agent as part of the warranty
requirements.
5. Electrical wiring and installation should comply to the proper national regulations. See table in the
manual manual (section 3, page 4) on correct sizing of cable. We recommend that all wiring be installed by a
licensed installer.
6. Installing the fridge onto the bracket, see manual (section 6, page 8).
7. Installing the drain hose (silicone hose located on the back of the fridge). Your refrigerator will produce
moisture inside the cabinet and this will need to be drained away.
• Drill a hole through the oor behind the fridge.
• Install the silicone hose through the hole.
• • Seal hole with silicone to prevent dust, water and pesky critters entering your car, trailer or van.
8. Connect the power to you fridge and away you go. Job done.
