7. Ensure the safety of operation by proper grounding of the electrical system. 8. After installation, check that the appliance is not standing on the power supply cable. For any installation problems call your dealer, or call Dometic Corporation at 804-746-1313 or 954-973-2477. Ask for the Tundra service department.
Locating the Data Plate The dataplate bearing the model and serial number and technical data is located on the upper right-hand section, inside the appliance (for Portable units, it is located on the inside of the lid). An additional, identical dataplate is located on the compressor’s electronic module.
Electrical Connection Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check that the line voltage corre- sponds to the indications on the appliance rating plate and those of the compressor plate. This appliance complies with EC directive 89/336 governing radio suppression. Noise emission levels are maintained below 70 dB(A).
Portable Units - Special Considerations Since Portable units can be used in a variety of applications, and connected to a variety of power sources, the following must be considered: • Cigarette lighters may not provide sufficient voltage and power to start and operate a portable unit.

Overload Protections The compressor overload and start protection cuts off power to the compressor if the compressor speed drops below approximately 1,900 rpm, or if this motor speed is not reached during the start sequence. Possible reasons for overload protection activating could be too high refrigeration system pressures during operation or lack of pressure equalizing at start.
Final Installation Notes • For all appliances, AVOID the use of any electrical adapters or extension cords. • After installation, allow the appliance to sit for at least one hour before starting. • The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any injuries or damage caused by noncompliance with any of the installation regulations.
Do not put glass containers holding liquids in the freezer compartment. • Dispose of packaging material in accordance with local laws for sorted waste recycling. For any operational problems call your dealer, or call Dometic Corporation at 804-746-1313 or 954-973-2477. Ask for the Tundra service department. Temperature Control Each appliance is fitted with a manual thermostat which automatically maintains set temperatures.

Refrigerators & Freezers • Maintenance Defrosting Defrosting should be carried out whenever the frost layer exceeds a thickness of 1/8 of an inch. This is necessary to guarantee efficient refrigeration and to avoid excessive power consumption. Excess frost buildup will effect the appliance’s performance. To completely defrost, turn the appliance OFF.
Refrigerators & Freezers • Trouble-Shooting A. Appliance Does Not Operate Check that: 1. The thermostat is not set to “STOP” or “OFF”. 2. The electrical system circuit-breaker for the appliance is “ON”. 3. The fuse between the electronic control unit and the power source has not blown. 4.
6. The fan rotates freely (in forced air models). 7. The appliance is not over-full. If, after checking the above, the appliance still does not function, call your service dealer or Dometic Corporation at 804-746-1313 or 954-973-2477. Ask for the Tundra service department. ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖...
Compensation for warranty repairs is only made to Dometic Corporation authorized service companies. Dometic Corporation will repair or replace, at its option, components found to be defective due to faulty materials or workmanship, when such components, examined by an autho- rized service dealer or a factory service representative, are found to have a defect for which the company is responsible.
If more than one repair is performed during the same visit, Dometic Corporation will pay 100% of the first covered repairs and 50% for all others. This warranty does not cover incidental and/or consequential items to the failure of Tundra’s refrigeration equipment.
ELECTROLYSIS - Electrical leakage of any component can cause electrolytic deterioration (electrolysis) of thru-hull components which could result in leakage serious enough to sink a vessel which could result in loss of life. All Dometic components must be kept clean and dry and checked periodically for electrical leakage. If any electrical leakage is detected, the component should be replaced or the fault causing the leakage corrected before the component is put back into service.
