Installing the FURRION 12V Built-In Refrigerator in your RV is a straightforward process if you follow the instructions provided in the manual. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you with the installation:
1. Set the unit upright: If the refrigerator was transported on its back, make sure to stand it upright vertically for at least 4 hours before running the compressor to allow the compressor oil to settle.
2. Unpack the unit: Remove the packaging material and confirm that all the necessary components are included in the box. If anything is damaged or missing, contact your dealer.
3. Site preparation: Ensure that the installation location for the refrigerator is suitable. The surface should be flat and able to support the weight of the refrigerator. If installing on carpet, support it with a wooden board to prevent carpet fading.
4. Refrigerator cabinet/enclosure preparation: Frame the cabinet to the dimensions specified in the manual. The cabinet/enclosure should have 0" clearance to the sides and top of the refrigerator. The base support of the cabinet/enclosure must be prepared with a 0-degree slope. The cooling system does not require additional ventilation or insulation.
5. Electrical preparation: Proper grounding is required for safety. Ensure that the converter or DC power supply is grounded properly according to manufacturers' instructions. The refrigerator requires a power source that can provide 10.5 - 17V DC. Follow the wiring guidelines provided in the manual based on the wire length to the refrigerator.
6. Drainage preparation: The refrigerator has an integrated drain pan, so no external drainage needs to be prepared.
7. Installing the refrigerator: Depending on whether you have sidewall access or not, follow the appropriate installation instructions provided in the manual. Make sure to secure the refrigerator into the enclosure using appropriate screws and fixings. Reinstall any removed components, such as air vents.
8. Electrical connection: Connect the cables to the correct terminals on the refrigerator according to the instructions in the manual. Ensure that the connections are secure and use the provided strain relief and connector cover.
9. Reversing the door swing (optional): If needed, you can reverse the door swing of the refrigerator. Follow the instructions provided in the manual to disassemble and reassemble the doors and hinges.
10. Check for proper alignment: After installation, check that the refrigerator is level and that the door closes properly without any gaps. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper alignment.
Following these steps should help you successfully install the FURRION 12V Built-In Refrigerator in your RV. If you have any further questions or encounter any issues during the installation process, it is recommended to consult the manual or contact FURRION customer service for assistance.
