6. 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 ready the following information to ensure your refrigerator
will run at its peak eiciency and guarantee you’ll get a long life out of your fridge.
• Unpack your new refrigerator and make sure all the parts are there, and that there is no
damage to the cabinet.
• Make sure the surface you’re attached your mounting bracket to is level and solid.
• Correct air flow and ventilation, this is probably the most important part of the
installation. Please read our the Cross Flow Ventilation guide (page 9) for a more in-
depth detail on the subject.
Important: The compressor and condensing coil in your fridge, 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 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.
• Electrical wiring and installation, should comply to the proper national regulations. See
table on page 4 on correct sizing of cable and 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.
- Drill a hole through the floor 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.
• Connect the power to your fridge, and away you go. Job done.
