Installing a FURRION 12V built-in refrigerator in your RV is a manageable project. Follow these steps for a successful installation: First, ensure the refrigerator is upright for at least 4 hours if it was transported horizontally to allow compressor oil to settle. Next, unpack the unit, verifying all components are present and undamaged. Prepare the installation site, ensuring a flat, level surface capable of supporting the refrigerator's weight. If installing on carpet, use a board for support. Then, prepare the refrigerator cabinet or enclosure according to the dimensions specified in the manual, ensuring proper clearances. The cabinet base should be level. Note that the cooling system doesn't require extra ventilation or insulation. For electrical preparation, proper grounding is crucial for safety; follow the manufacturer's instructions for the converter or DC power supply. The refrigerator needs a 10.5-17V DC power source; consult the manual for wiring guidelines based on wire length. The refrigerator has a built-in drain pan, so no external drainage is needed. Install the refrigerator in the enclosure, securing it with screws and fixings, and reinstall any removed components. Connect the cables to the correct terminals on the refrigerator, ensuring secure connections. You may need to reverse the door swing, following the manual's instructions. Finally, check that the refrigerator is level and the door closes properly. If you have any problems, consult the FURRION manual or contact FURRION customer service for support.
