7. 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.
It is particularly important to ensure the lower vents on the front and back of the appliance
are kept clear to allow the heat generated by the condenser and compressor to escape.
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 >250W/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 the 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.
