Cross-section
The wires connected to this terminal must have the fol-
lowing minimum cross-section area:
Maximum length of 8 meters from the refrigerator to the
battery. 10 mm
2
cross-section low voltage multi strand ca-
ble.
Cable lengths > 8 meters will require a larger cross-sec-
tional cable.
Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route directly
to the 12 volt DC supply. To prevent the refrigerator from
draining the battery, make sure that the current supplied
to the motor home / caravan is cut off when the vehicle
engine is not running, for example by fitting an ignition
control relay.

Once the installation is complete, test the operation of the
refrigerator and instruct the user on its correct operation.
If the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact your lo-
cal Dometic Service provider.
