7.2 Evaporator
Some COMPACT CLASSIC models have "O" shaped corner evaporators, other models
instead have flat evaporators. Flat evaporators can be folded/bent to adapt to go
into a compartment. Specific areas in which these can be bent exist for this purpose.
See the final part of this paragraph to find out which are the bending zones for each
model and how to proceed.
Evaporator installation does not require bending.
The instructions below should be followed when installing an evaporator not
requiring bending inside a compartment to convert it into a fridge or freezer:
1. Carefully plan the evaporator position: the location on the side of the
compartment where you can install the internal unit and make a hole in which to
pass quick couplings.
2. The evaporator must be installed so that it covers as wide an area as possible of
the vertical wall. For freezer version installation, position so as to reach 2 or more
sides where possible. The evaporator must be installed as high as possible inside
the compartment to be cooled to optimise yield and temperature distribution
inside the compartment.
3. It is very important that the short part of the hose attached to the evaporator via
a jumper remain directed towards the wall.
Be sure to leave enough space for this hose because it should not be removed in
any case from its mounting to alter the length.
4. Both the suction hose and the small capillary hose should be rolled up carefully
before installing the evaporator, keeping the protective covers on connections as
long as the connection is not going to be made. Starting from the inside of the
compartment to be cooled, lay the hose with its two connections through the
hole made previously on the bulkhead until reaching the compressor, making
sure not to choke or crush the hose. The excess part of the hose must be carefully
wound in a spiral (Ø = 30 cm) before being fastened to thus prevent resulting
vibration or noise. These actions must be completed before removing quick
coupling protections.
5. Mark the position of the mounting holes using the screws and spacers provided.
Do not use screws that are longer than necessary as they could completely pierce
wall insulation.
6. Install the evaporator screwing the screws and spacers into the previously made
holes.
