USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
• If possible, the refrigerator should be turned on for about 6 hours prior to inserting the food items.
• Frequent opening of the refrigerator door will result in greater power consumption.
• Ensuring adequate ventilation for the compressor and the condensing unit will significantly reduce power consumption.
• Never obstruct the refrigerator's ventilation system.
• The electrical system must be kept in good condition. Inspect the batteries and check the charge levels regularly. Always
use a starter battery separate from the motor.
• Keep the inside of the refrigerator clean and dry. Remove the condensation water from the drip tray beneath the
refrigerator's freezer compartment where present.
• To keep the surface of the door in good conditions and intact, make sure that it is always clean and dry.
• The unit has been designed with a product lock protection in the event of low battery voltage. In the event of a compressor
block, follow the instructions in this manual and/or contact specialised technicians or Indel B service centres.
• The compressor can operate up to an angle of 30°, while greater angles can cause permanent damage to the compressor.
DEFROSTING
Since the evaporator operates at temperatures well below freezing, ice and frost will inevitably form upon it.
The humidity in the air, the temperature and the number of times the door is opened will have a significant impact on frost
formation.
The refrigerator should always be defrosted when the layer of frost on the evaporator reaches a thickness of 3-4 mm or more.
Turn off the refrigerator.
Defrosting should be performed when the products can remain as cool as possible outside of the refrigerator itself. Do not use
sharp objects to remove ice and frost from the evaporator, as this could damage it and result in leaks.
Only turn the refrigerator back on once it has been defrosted, cleaned and thoroughly dried. A towel can be placed at the base
of the refrigerator during the defrosting procedure in order to facilitate water collection.
MAINTENANCE
TL 16 Drawer refrigerators are equipped with closed cooling systems, which do not require maintenance or refrigerant refills.
The compressor is specifically designed for mobile applications and guarantees maximum performance and durability. In the
winter, the refrigerator must be stored inside the vehicle, but the compressor will not work at temperatures near or below 0°C.
Seasonal maintenance is limited to the cleaning of the condensing unit behind the refrigerator. In particular, it is necessary to
brush/vacuum out all the dust that has accumulated due to the fan. This can be done using a soft brush and a vacuum cleaner.
It is important to keep the inside of the refrigerator clean by washing it with warm water and mild soap and by drying any water/
condensation that may be encountered.
To keep the surface of the door in good conditions and intact, make sure that it is always dry and clean.
In order to prevent damage to the electrical/mechanical components and/or the formation of mould, when shutting off
the refrigerator for extended periods of time it is necessary to wait for the unit to defrost completely and to eliminate any
condensation that may have formed inside. The natural defrosting time can vary from a few minutes to several hours. In the
wintertime and when the refrigerator is shut off, the door should be left slightly ajar for ventilation and all power disconnected.
