The IndelB OFF Elite series of refrigerators are designed for versatile and reliable cooling and freezing of food and beverages, particularly suited for niche installations in vehicles. These units operate on both 12V and 24V power, making them adaptable to various energy sources such as batteries, transformers, or photovoltaic panels.

Function Description:

The Elite refrigerators are equipped with a hermetically sealed compressor system, ensuring high efficiency, low energy consumption, and minimal noise levels. The compressor control unit is an electronic device that manages the compressor motor, performs system checks, and provides electrical protection. Key features of this control unit include battery protection, which automatically switches off the compressor when the power supply voltage drops below a minimum threshold (cut-out). The compressor will automatically restart once the voltage returns to normal levels (cut-in).

The refrigerator is designed for cooling and freezing foods, and is intended for storing closed beverages and snacks. It is not suitable for storing perishable food directly or for the proper storage of medicines, which require specific conditions outlined in their package leaflets. Food should be stored in its original packaging or suitable containers and should not come into direct contact with the refrigerator's interior surfaces.

Usage Features:

The Elite refrigerators are designed for easy installation, even at inclinations of up to 30°. Proper ventilation of the compressor and condenser unit is crucial for optimal energy consumption and performance. Air inlets and outlets should have a free cross-section of at least 200 cm². For model EL42, the refrigerating unit can be separated from the main body and placed at a distance of up to 200 cm to maximize available space.

The "Easy Fix" system allows for simple and effective installation of Elite models 42-49-65-85-130 into lodgings. This system utilizes four pre-drilled points inside the trunk, making the installation invisible from the outside. When using Easy Fix for flush-to-furniture installation, a 10 mm space must be maintained between the refrigerator and the furniture unit along the entire thickness of the door to ensure free movement.

The door opening direction can be reversed on models Elite 42-49-65-85-130. This involves removing screws from the top plate and hinges, then repositioning the hinges and rubber spacer to change the pivot side.

Temperature regulation is manual, using a thermostat knob located inside the refrigerator (for 42, 49, 65, 85, and 130-liter models). Turning the knob clockwise decreases the temperature, while turning it counter-clockwise increases the temperature and activates the ON-OFF switch at its final position.

When filling the refrigerator, avoid placing hot items inside. Arrange products to prevent movement or breakage during vehicle motion. Always ensure the door is properly closed and minimize opening times.

Maintenance Features:

The IndelB OFF refrigerators feature a completely hermetic cooling system, requiring no special maintenance or refrigerant recharging. The compressor is a domestic type, known for its high efficiency and exceptional durability.

Regular maintenance is limited to cleaning the condenser from dust at least once a year, using a soft brush to avoid damage. The interior and exterior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly with lukewarm water and a neutral detergent. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using glass cleaners, liquid detergents, powdered or spray detergents, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive products.

Defrosting should be performed when the ice layer is thicker than 4 mm. Set the thermostat to the OFF position. During defrosting, keep food and beverages in a cool place. Do not use sharp metal objects to remove ice or frost. The refrigerator should not be restarted until it is completely defrosted and dry. The tray under the freezer compartment should also be emptied.

If the refrigerator is not used for an extended period (e.g., during winter), it is recommended to dry the interior thoroughly and leave the door slightly ajar to allow for ventilation.

Troubleshooting Advice:

Before contacting customer service for abnormal operation, verify the following:

Ensure there is power supply.
Check that the voltage reaching the control unit matches the rating on the plate.
Confirm that all electrical connections are correctly made.
Ensure the finned condenser is not obstructed.
Verify that the refrigerating unit is not located near a heat source.
Check that the fuse on the power supply line is not blown.
