Maintenance; Service; Installation Instruction; Repositioning The Hinges - Electrolux CARAVAN RM 4601 Manual

The sealed cooling system must not be opened,
since it contains corroding chemicals under
high pressure.

MAINTENANCE

Always turn to a qualified service technician who is
familiar with LP gas systems and refrigerator.
We recommend that a service technician check the
refrigerator once a year.
•
Check all connections in the LP gas system for gas
leaks. Connections can be tested for leaks using a
soap solution. Do not use a naked flame! If there is
any suspicion of damage, call for a service technician.
•
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
•
The Instruction Manual is available.
•
Check that the burner is clean and free from combus-
tible material.
SOME USEFUL HINTS
Make sure that:
•
The refrigerator is not operating on 12 V when the
vehicle is parked, otherwise you will drain the car
battery in a short time.
•
Defrosting is carried out periodically
•
The refrigerator is clean and dry with the door left
open when it is not to be used for some time.
•
Liquids or items with a strong odour are well packed.
•
The ventilation openings are unobstructed.
•
The door is secured by means of the travel catch
when the caravan is on the move.
SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
Service and spare parts are obtainable from your dealer

INSTALLATION/BUILDING-IN

The refrigerator is intended for installation in a caravan
or camper van, and the description relates to this appli-
cation.
The refrigerator must not be exposed to radiated heat
from hot objects (e.g. below a cooker without proper heat
shielding).
Excessive heat irradiation impairs performance and
leads to increased energy consumption. For this reason
the refrigerator should be installed if possible not at the
entrance side of the vehicle - normally orientated south
and often with an awning - which would impair the
dispersion of heat and combustion gases from the
ventilation openings.
It is not a good practice to install the refrigerator so that
the vent openings are covered by the vehicle's entrance
door when this is set open. This would reduce the
ventilation air flow to the cooling unit and reduce refrig-
eration performance.
The enclosure
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial en-
closure and must be level, the dimensions are shown in
TECHNICAL DATA.
The bottom of the enclosure must be horizontal and even
so that the refrigerator can be easily pushed into place.
It must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the
refrigerator.
Make sure that there is a complete seal between the
front frame of the refrigerator and top, sides and
bottom of the enclosure.
A length of sealing strip is applied to the rear surface of
the front frame for this purpose, see fig. 2.
Note: A wood strip must be in place across the upper
opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refrigera-
tor will be anchored to the wood strip with screws. See
fig. 6 b.
Push the refrigerator into the recess until the sealing
strip on the flange seals against the front of the recess,
so that the cooling unit is completely sealed off against
the interior of the caravan.
Note: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when
the refrigerator is put in place.
