Thank you for purchasing a WAECO CR series refrigerator. With proper installation,
maintenance, and care your new refrigerator should give you many years of
trouble-free service. WAECO USA would like you to know that, should any
questions or problems arise during installation or operation of your new WAECO
refrigerator, our Technical Support staff is at your service at (860) 664-4911. Our
regular business hours are 8:00AM-5:00PM Eastern Standard (USA) Time.
The WAECO CR series refrigerator should not be modified in any way from its
original form. Modification of the unit may be extremely hazardous and cause
personal injury or property damage.
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
CAREFULLY unpack the box and make sure that your new refrigerator is sitting
upright. Check the packing list and make sure that all parts are included in the
box.
PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION:
There are many variables that make a difference between a good installation
and a problem installation—a refrigerator that will give trouble-free service and
one that will have erratic or short operational life. Many problems that arise with
efrigerators can be traced to improper installation. A little planning can go a
r
long way toward having a reliable source of refrigeration.

CAUTION!!
Hazards associated with working with electricity include electrical shock and
urns. Be extremely careful when working with electricity. Know all hazards
b
involved and observe safe practices to avoid injury.
Be careful when lifting refrigerators. Refrigerators can be heavy objects. Know
how to handle objects of its size and weight and avoid twisting or unusual
positions while supporting it.
Use care when moving and handling the refrigerator. Use gloves to prevent injury
from sharp edges.
Refrigerant lines contain gases. Be very careful when handling. Do not kink,
dent, or bend.
NEVER lift unit by the door or handle.
The refrigerator is not waterproof. Avoid direct contact with water.
Install away from heat sources in a dry and well-ventilated environment.
It is necessary to have a trained technician do the installation in wet areas.
Do not operate the appliance if it is visibly damaged.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Danfoss compressor is powered by an internal 12V DC brushless motor. The
C brushless motor operates by a continuous “loop” of information passing
D
between the electronic module and the compressor. Because this operation
requires a “clean” and uninterrupted supply of direct current power, it is
recommended that the refrigerator have a direct connection to the battery.
Wiring it into the fusebox, terminal block, buss bar, or another electrical circuit,
may subject the supply voltage to electrical “noise”, or interference, which may
disrupt the informational loop and render the electronic module inoperative.
Best practice is to wire the unit directly to the battery with an inline fuse on the
positive (+) terminal.
The CR Series refrigerator should be wired on its own circuit. There should be no
other electrical loads on the same circuit. Although 10 amp protection is
sufficient,
The appliance must be wired and grounded in accordance with ABYC guidelines.
Refer to the guidelines on page 5.
Failure to provide a sufficient wire size will result in an unacceptable voltage drop
and inability of the refrigerator to operate.
15 amp is preferable.
