4 Installation instructions

Many boats have a space which is intended for a
fridge. The Isotherm Cruise fridge has been designed
to suit the general dimensions normally used for this
purpose.
The compressor should normally stand upright in
the boat, but will operate at an angle of heel up to
30° and for short periods even more. CR 42 has the
compressor attached on a separate bracket by its rear
side. This can be moved up to 1.5 m/4.9 ft. away from
the fridge.
The pipes must be handled and bent with great care to
avoid damages.
Avoid mounting the refrigerator close to a heat source,
like gas ovens and heaters. Also avoid a position
allowing direct sunshine on the refrigeration unit.
The mounting position should be dry and protected
from splashing water.
For easier mounting of the refrigerator, use the mount-
ing rails available as optional equipment, on the mod-
els not having three side mounting frame.
The types CR 49 and CR 65 have mounting frame as
standard. CR 42 can be equipped with the same type
of frame as on CR 49. Other models can be mounted
with mounting rails, one on each side of the cabinet.
CR 85 and CR 130 can also be equipped with three
side fl ush mounting frame.
The INOX type refrigerators have a fl ush mounting
frame, three side frame, as standard.
The refrigerators shall be standing on the rubber feet
and locked in position by means of the mounting frame
or mounting rails. When no rails or frames are used
the cabinet must be well fastened into the surrounding
constructions.
Avoid mounting close to a heat source, like gas oven
and heaters. Also avoid a position allowing direct sun-
shine on the refrigerator. The mounting should be dry
and protected from splashing water.

4.1 Ventilation

It is very important that the compressor/condenser
unit is well ventilated and that cold air can enter at the
bottom, pass behind the fridge and warm air can leave
at the top in the area where it is mounted. The natural
fl ow of air from below and upwards behind the fridge
can be increased by arranging ventilation openings at
the rear.
Make sure there is a free area of 15 - 23 sq.in. below
and behind the refrigerator to allow ventilation air to
pass behind from below. See fi g.

4.2 Door front panel
The front panels on the doors can be replaced or ad-
ditional standard front panels in white, teak, mahogany
or cherry can be mounted on top of the standard panel.
CR 42, 49 & 65 are also available in version with fully
white door and stainless steel mounting frame.
The INOX models have doors in stainless steel and do
not have exchangeable door fronts.
Use a screwdriver or a knife as a lever and pull off the
lower door profi le. Unscrew the three screws holding
the door lock.
Mount the extra panel on top of the existing one, fasten
the door lock again and push in the lower door profi le.
See fi g.
4.3 Reverse the door hinge
The doors on the refrigerators are as standard mount-
ed with the hinges to the right hand side.
The door can be hinged to the left by means of chang-
ing position of the upper and lower hinge fi ttings.
The door lock must also be moved to the other side.
See fi g.
CR 42 & 49 have the lower hinge assy mounted in a
plastic fi tting, only these parts and the hinge pin must
be moved to the other side. The upper hinge pin is
threaded into the top part above the door, unscrew the
top part to take off the door and move the pin to the
other side.
On CR 65, 85 & 130 both the upper and lower hinge
fi ttings has to be taken of and mounted on the other
side instead. The lower door support is also moved to
the other side.
On the CR 100 the upper hinge pin is mounted in the
top ventilation grill and is moved to the other side. The
lower hinge fi tting and door support are moved and
reversed mounted.
CR INOX up to CR 85 can also be re-hinged as de-
scribed above, but CR 130 has left or right doors with
side mounted door locks and cannot be changed.
