INSTALLATION
Mounting
KickAss DRAWER 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°. The
compressor can become damaged with any higher inclinations.
Ventilation
It is extremely important for the compressor/condensing unit located behind the
refrigerator to be well ventilated so that the fresh air can enter at the bottom and
pass behind the refrigerator, with the hot air being allowed to escape from the top or
sides.
Electrical Connections
• Before turning on the appliance, check to make sure that the voltage of the electrical
system and/or battery complies with that which is indicated on the unit’s data plate.
• Connect the refrigerator directly to the battery or to the relative main switch and make
sure that the system is equipped with an electric device that’s capable of protecting the
circuit against possible overcurrents.
• The product is supplied with a 10 A fuse. A separate switch that simultaneously
disconnects the power cables must be installed upstream from the refrigerator. Check to
make sure that this switch supports the 10 A current load.
SIZE OF THE ELECTRICAL CABLES
Always use cables of a suitable cross-section. The minimum cross-sections are listed in the table
below:
Cross-
section in
mm²
AWG section Max 12 V cable length m/ft Max 24V cable length m/ft
2.5 13 2.5/8 5/16
4 11 4/13 8/26
6 9 6/19 12/39
10 8 10/33 20/66
For system protection, the fuse must be installed in the positive wires (+) as close as possible to
the battery. We recommend using 15 A fuses for 12 V and 7.5 A fuses for 24 V. If using a main
switch, it must be able to withstand a minimum current of 20 A. Avoid extra junctions in wiring to
prevent voltage drops that can influence battery protection settings.
