How to install your Bushman DC-X Series fridge

1. Mounting a Bushman DC-X Series fridge using the internal mounting sleeves

There are 4 internal sleeves on the inside of your fridge cabinet (2 on each side). You can screw or bolt through these sleeves, from the inside of your fridge out into your cabinetwork.

• Access is provided by gently levering off the plastic caps.
• Only use M5 pan head screws or bolts with the thread type to suit your application.
• Drill 4mm pilot holes through the plastic sleeve from inside of your fridge cabinet, and continue to drill all the way through the fridge cabinet sheet metal sides. The fridge is now ready to go into your cavity.
• Before you insert the screws or bolts, ensure that the exterior of the fridge cabinet is flush with your cavity. If there is a gap on either side, pack it out with timber.
• Once you have fastened your fridge, there are 4 x small, cylindrical foam pieces to be inserted, one into each sleeve before reinserting the plastic cap.

2. Use the Bushman mounting kit to install your Bushman DC-X Series fridge

You will receive a mounting kit (fascia) with your fridge. The mounting kit is affixed to the sides and top of the fridge cabinet using the screws provided.

Be sure to align the mounting kit so it is flush with the front edge of your fridge cabinet before fastening. Do not over tighten the screws, hand tight is plenty

We do not provide screws to fasten the mounting kit to your cavity, please choose a screw type suitable for your cavity material.

3. Use a Bushman TLX Fridge box to install your Bushman DC-X Series fridge

We have partnered with TLX 4×4 in Perth to manufacture aluminium fridge surrounds, commonly referred to as a fridge box. There are three sizes available to fit DC65X, DC85X and DC130X.

Each fridge box comes complete with instructions, all hardware and fasteners needed for assembly. Once you have assembled your fridge box, there are bolt holes on the front and rear lower edges so you can screw it down.

If you have restricted access, you can also drill into the sides of the fridge box to secure it into place.

4. Using custom brackets to mount your Bushman DC-X Series fridge

Many of our customers make their own brackets to suit their situation. We provide M5 threaded nut inserts and matching bolts with every fridge, fitted to both sides and the rear. You can use these bolts to secure your fridge in any position. We recommend using a minimum of 8 bolts for stability.

Do not screw into other areas on the fridge cabinet!
