Installation Instructions

1) To facilitate proper air circulation, the cooler should not be installed in any enclosed

or confined space.

2) Prior to installation, remove back cover of cooler and visually inspect for transit

damage. Temporarily connect cooler to electric supply and switch on the thermostat.
Check that fan is operating and not jammed.

3) For installation, connect the water inlet and wastewater drain connections. Do not

use excessive force on the brass inlet and drain connectors of the cooler, as this
tends to damage it.

4) Connect 3-pin 15-ampere plug to the cooler's main power cable with the green or

yellow wire connected to the earthing terminal of the plug.

5) Always use a proper circuit breaker to avoid compressor burnout.

Automatic voltage stabilizer should be used in low voltage areas.
