This document provides essential installation instructions for the Dometic NRX series fridge freezers. Proper installation is critical for cooling performance and product longevity. Ensure you follow the specific requirements for air flow, electrical connection, and mounting.
Installation Requirements
Proper ventilation is mandatory to prevent shortened lifespan and reduced cooling performance. Observe the following minimum spacing requirements when installing the refrigerator into furniture:
- Minimum clearance: 50 mm (2 in) on all sides.
- Air flow: Ensure unobstructed air circulation around the unit.
Electrical Connection
The unit supports both DC and AC power sources depending on the model configuration.
DC Connection
- Ensure the correct cable cross-section is used based on the distance from the battery to the fridge.
- Use a 15 A fuse for 12 V and 24 V systems.
- Observe correct polarity when connecting to the battery.
AC Connection
- For 100-240 V AC operation, ensure the connection is protected by an RCD (Residual Current Device).
Door Reversal
The door hinge can be reversed to suit your installation needs. Follow the step-by-step procedure in the manual, ensuring all screws are securely fastened after reassembly. Ensure the door seal is tight after reversing.
Mounting and Installation
The manual provides specific procedures for:
- Frame installation: Securing the unit into the furniture housing.
- Fixing: Using the provided hardware to anchor the fridge.
- Sliding hinge: Installing the sliding mechanism for integrated furniture doors.
Ensure the unit is level and the door closes properly with a gap of 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) for the sliding hinge mechanism.
Condensation Drain
Ensure the condensation drain is properly routed and clear of obstructions to prevent water buildup inside the unit.
