External Cleaning

cleaning agents, chemical cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring sponges to complete this task as it may cause damage
to the surfaces.

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply.
2. Remove the plastic cover.
3. Unscrew the bulb.
4. Replace with a new bulb (max 15 Watt)
5. Reconnect to the electrical power supply.

HINTS & TIPS
Normal Operating Sounds
x You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the refrigerant coils.
x When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating
noise from the compressor.
x A thermostat controls the compressor and you may hear a 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Energy Saving Advice
x Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid
exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
x Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the compressor housing
cover are not obstructed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air circulation (3in. or 7.5cm)
x Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and liquids in airtight packages or containers.
x Always keep foodstuff stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers, and allow some space for air to circulate
around each item.
x Avoid keeping the lid open for extended periods of time or opening the lid too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compressor run unnecessarily often.
x Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid from closing properly and forming a tight seal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before contacting a service technician, SunDanzer or your local product dealer, check the following points.
If you call out a technician to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by misuse, abuse, or faulty installation, a
charge will be made even if the appliance is under warranty.
SYMPTOM SOLUTION
Appliance connected
to power, but does not
operate
x Check if 12 or 24V DC is present at the appliance. If not check all connections
and the system battery voltage.
x Check that the polarity is correct “+” is connected to “+” and “–“ to “–“.
x Check the fuse. If blown, replace with a new one.
Appliance is
operating, but the
interior is not cold.
x Allow the appliance at least 4 hrs from initial turn-on to become cold.
x Check that the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting relevant to
room/ambient temperatures.
x Check that the room/ambient temperature is not approaching the internal
operating temperature and does not exceed to 100
o
F (38°C).
x Has too much warm foodstuff recently been placed in the cabinet? If so, it is
normal to not be cold and it will take time to return to temperature.
x Does the cabinet have adequate ventilation around the side walls allowing it to
transfer heat properly? (See Installation Section).
NOTE: All units are shipped with a 24V light bulb.
If the appliance is used on a 12V system the light bulb will be dim.
