Refrigerator Installation 

 

DO  NOT

  position  the  refrigerator  in  direct  sunlight  or  next  to  any  heat  sources.    Make  sure  the 

refrigerator  is  positioned  to  provide  good  ventilation  and  ease  of  access  for  maintenance. 

Ventilation is particularly important for the condensers and compressors. 

 

1) 

Position  the  refrigerator  on  a  level  surface;  wipe  all 

internal and external surfaces with a clean cloth.  

 

2) 

Check the PV isolator at the back of the cabinet is in the 
‘0 position. 

 

3) 

Plug  the  solar  connectors  into  the  refrigerator.      Check 

that there is sufficient slack in the cable to allow access 

to the back of the refrigerator. 

 
4) 

Turn  the  PV  isolator  on  by  switching  it  to  “1”.  Within  1 

minute  the  compressor  will  start  if  there  is  sufficient 

sunlight (solar irradiance of >125W/m²). You will be able 

to  hear  the  compressor  operating  and  feel  the 

condensers getting warm. 

 

5) 

Check  that  the  refrigerator  compartment  temperature 

display on the front of the cabinet is operating.  If there is 

insufficient natural light shine a torch on the display for a few seconds. 

 

6) 

Ensure that all baskets are in position and 

the refrigerator lid is firmly closed. 

 

7) 

Check that all cables are securely supported so  

 

that they will not be pulled loose if the refrigerator 

is moved for cleaning. 

 

8) 

Roll the refrigerator into its final position and apply  

the brakes on the castors to secure it.
