WIRING 

For optimum results, you will need the correct sized wire depending on the 
distance from your power supply to the fridge. Wiring must be directly from 
your fridge to your battery and should be continuous without joins. Please 
also ensure the earth is wired directly to your battery, not to a chasse. If your 
wiring is insufficient, your fridge may not perform correctly or may be even be 
damaged.

Any switches must have a breaking load not less than 20 A on 12 V or 10 A 
on 24 volts. 

 

 

 

Ensure the wiring polarity is correct. Connect the red wire to the positive 
terminal (+) and the black wire to the negative terminal (-). 
 
Never connect bare electric wires. Use only connections of a size suitable for 
the cross section of the wire being used.
