4 Installation instructions
Many boats come equipped with a special compartment for the refrigerator.
Isotherm refrigerators have been designed and constructed exclusively for recessed
installation and installation that is in compliance with standard dimensions. The
refrigerator must always be in a horizontal position, with the compressor's rubber
feet at the bottom. The compressor is capable of functioning at angles of up to 30°,
or even greater for brief periods of time. If the angle is too great, the compressor will
turn off and will restart once the tilt has decreased.
Do not install the refrigerator near heat sources and avoid exposing it to direct
sunlight. Install the refrigerator in a dry place that's sheltered against water spray. Do
not install the unit near open flames or other forms of heat.
All models (except model DR105) are equipped with a standard three-sided assembly
frame for assembling the appliance flush with the furniture.
The refrigerator must be resting upon its rubber support feet, and must be fixed in
place by the standard 3-sided assembly frame.
If it is not possible to use the 3-sided assembly frame, secure the refrigerator in such
a way so that it will not tip/slide forward when the drawer is opened and in the case
of rough seas.
Where the mounting flange cannot be used, the appliance should be anchored by
at least 2 fastening points, in accordance with the provisions of the EN 60335-2-24
standard.
In order to avoid the potential risks associated with the unit's instability, it should
always be anchored as indicated in the instructions.
The appliance must be connected via its power cord to an electrical system with the
characteristics indicated on the data plate.
The electrical plug must be accessible after installation. The appliance has been
constructed for recessed use. The electrical parts must not be accessible without
removing the refrigerator and/or the use of a tool. The walls and the ceiling of the
recessed mounting must be made with a material resistant to the needle-flame test
as provided for by EN 603335-1. They must in any case be at least 5 mm from the
walls of the refrigerator to allow for suitable ventilation and air recirculation, or else
be more than 2 cm from the walls and more than 5 cm from the ceiling and the side
on which electrical and electronic components are positioned.
The natural upward air flow can be increased by creating ventilation openings in
