General

THERMOLUX split units is a Norwegian produced high-quality product with selected
components, with 30 years' experience. The units are supplied in 3 sizes: from 1-8 M3
from 2-12M3 and from 4-17M3. Quick to fit, easy to use and extremely quiet.

The room where the hot is placed must have good ventilation during the summer, so
that the average temperature does not exceed 27 degrees. Fitting of the splits units
must be conducted by an approved refrigeration engineer and conducted according
to UK refrigeration standards.

The hot and cold parts are connected with 8 mm and 6 mm copper pipes, which are
insulated, and a cable of a min. of 0.75 square, 3 wires + earth.

The refrigeration units are suitable for private households and commercial
establishments. Hot and cold is seperated, and the cold part (evaporator) is fitted
in the cellar or wine room, which should be adequately insulated, while the hot part
is placed in a separate area.

Before fitting

Unwrap the unit and check that all the parts in the list are present. Contact the supplier
if there are any deficiencies or parts missing.
You need to use 6 mm and 8mm (5/16” & ¼”) approved copper pipes on the TL6 and
TL10 models. TL16 uses ¼” & 3/8”. The electrical cable between the evaporator and
compressor part must be 3-wires + earth. (4x0.75).
It must be connected to the drain under the evaporator, which is fed to a drain/
container. When connecting to the drain you must create a water trap.
The cooling pipes must be put in place or with a slight drop from the highest point above
the evaporator back to the compressor part, and the oil lock on the suction tube at a
height difference of + 1.5 m up to the compressor part again.

Position/fitting

The evaporator must be positioned so that it does not blow on the door, as this can cause
condensation in the frame. It is also important that it is positioned so that there is good
air circulation in the room. The stretch of pipe between the compressor and evaporator
must not exceed 10 metres. When fitting in completed element rooms and, the
pipes from the evaporator are pulled up through the ceiling and connected together
at the top of the ceiling. The stretch between the pipes must be well insulated.
It is impor

tant to avoid long oil pockets in the pipework (straight pipes).

1. Fit the evaporator part in the ceiling/wall with 4 screws 4 x 35 mm. Prepare for
propriate connection across the ceiling. Remember to have a sufficiently long cable

to the 5 pin plug for quick connection.

2. Wait screwing onto the plastic cover until after vacuuming and filling.

3. Attach the drainage hose. Pull the rubber through the drainage hole.

The compressor part is fitted to the wall or put on the floor in a suitable place.
Consideration must be made for air coming in and out of the unit. Do not place the unit
under stairs/enclosed areas etc. where there is minimal air ventilation.

1. The compressor bracket has 4 x rubber mufflers on the bottom.

2. The compressor bracket is placed on a pre-fitted shelf or fixed to the wall with

screws.

3. Secure the unit with the disc and screws through the 2 outer rubber dampers.

(shelf/floor).

4. Suction (8mm) and fluid pipes (6mm) are soldered to the compressor pipe and filter

respectively.

5. The unit is vacuumed and leak tested with a drop test. The ambient temperature

upon vacuuming must be above 15°C. If there is a leak, the unit must be
pressure-tested and re-vacuumed.

6.

7. Connect the wires to the right colours according to the drawing for 5-pin fast

connection, and position in respective connections. Normal suction pressure during
operation is between 10-15°C.

The evaporator part without fitted cover must run over upon correct filling. Check the
thermostat stops the compressor by switching the thermostat to the far right and into
OFF mode. Re-fit cover, and drainage hose. Put a box or towel over the entire
evaporator box for faster check of correct filling, and in/out connection on thermostat.
For correct suction pressure it is also important that the cover on the compressor unit
is fitted.
Set the thermostat to 1o'clock. After 1-2 days, adjust to the right temperature.

Use and maintenance

Setting the temperature:

DEFROSTING TIMER: TL10 and TL16 have a defrosting timer and must be supplied
from the factory with defrosting of 4x15 min. per 24 hours. The defrosting timer is
adjusted according to requirements in each case. 1 turn outwards is 15 mins.
defrosting.

CLEANING: The compressor unit has a dust filter at the front, which can be pulled out
and should be vacuumed 4 times a year as required. Remember to unplug before
cleaning. When cleaning the evaporator cover and inside the fridge, use mild soapy
water with a small amount of chlorine to prevent mould forming. Draining of
condensation water should be checked regularly including that the water runs free to
the containeror the drain.

Simple problem solving

Fault Reason Need

Poor refrigeration Dust filter Clean filter

Fan motor on warm side defect Order new fan
Ambient temperature too high Improve ventilation

Fan motor on cold side defect Order new fan

Evaporator full of ice Manual defrosting

No refrigeration Compression not running Check fuse/plug

Compressor not working Call + 47 69102402

Water running over Drain Open drain

The thermostat has a working area of 5 - 15 degrees Celcius. When the
thermostat knob is turned clockwise, the temperature is reduced and the cellar
gets colder. Counter clockwise warmer. The correct temperature for wine is set
with a thermometer in a glass of water 12/13 degrees is the ideal temperature for
most wine.

With a temperature of 13 degrees the air temperature will be between 11 and 15
degrees C in the cellar.
