Owners Manual & Operating Instructions User Manual and DC 85X & DC 130X 12/24VSeries Fridge/Freezer DC-X Fridges CARAVAN - RV - CANOPY – OFFGRID - MARINE
Congratulations on your purchase of a Bushman DC-X fridge. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and use. Please be safe and use common sense and caution when installing, operating and cleaning this appliance. If you are unsure about any of these instructions, contact your local stockist before proceeding. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not lay your fridge on its back, top or sides or at any angle exceeding 30º.
INSTALLATION INTO A CAVITY DC-X fridges are designed to be installed in a cavity. A gap of minimum 50mm is recommended for the rear. Refer to the following table for the recommended cut-out dimensions. If you are using the mounting kit, allow an extra 5mm width for the mounting kit frame and screws.
HAVE GOODS INSIDE THE FRIDGE The fridge will not operate properly if it is empty, as air does not hold temperature well. If you are using a wireless thermometer the temperature readout will fluctuate significantly with the changes in air temperature, whilst your drinks inside the fridge will not vary much at all. DEFROSTING Defrosting needs to be carried out when the ice layer reaches a thickness of 5mm. Turn off the power to the fridge and move your food and beverages to another cool place.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH Whenever the door or hinges have been moved, please adjust the top metal rail that the door latch clips under. Loosen the screws and move the top metal rail towards the rear of the fridge cabinet until the plastic door latch just makes light contact. If there is more than 1mm of movement, this will need adjusting. See diagram below: CORRECT 0-1MM GAP INCORRECT 2MM+ GAP RUBBER DOOR SEALS 1.
