4. 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 eiciency and you’ll get a long life out of your fridge.
• Unpack your new refrigerator and make sure there is no damage to the cabinet.
• If you have bought a mounting bracket make sure the surface you’ve attached your
mounting bracket to is level and solid. Refer to page 7 for instructions on how to install
the mounting kit. If you have not purchased a mounting kit and require one, please visit
www.evakool.com.au.
• Correct air flow and ventilation, this is probably the most important part of the
installation. Please read the Cross Flow Ventilation guide (page 8) for a more
information.
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 preforming and
serious damage can be done to the compressor.
• Make sure the unit is easily 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.
• Electrical wiring and installation, should comply to the proper national regulations.
See table on page 4 on correct sizing of cable. We also recommend that the wiring be
installed by a licensed installer.
• Installing the drain hose (silicone hose located on the back of your fridge). Your
refrigerator will produce moisture inside the cabinet and this will need to be drained
away. This is normal because it is not a frost free fridge.
- Drill a hole through the floor behind the fridge.
- Install the silicone hose through the hole.
- Seal drilled hole with silicone to prevent dust, water and pesky critters entering your
car, trailer or van.
• Connect the power to your fridge.
Reversing the Door Opening
1. If installed, disconnect and uninstall the fridge.
2. Ensuring the fridge is OFF and not connected to power, lay the fridge on its back.
Ensure the fridge is square and level and the door seal is touching the fridge cabinet.
3. Undo the top plastic hinge caps.
4. Unscrew and remove the 4 x screws that hold down the hinge.
