CAUTION
Do not
operate the refrigerator on 12 Volts when the vehicle is parked. You will run out of battery in a rather short
time.
If possible the installation of a 12 Volts operated refrigerator should be completed with a relay mounted either in the
car or in the recreational vehicle. This relay will automatically cut out the refrigerator when the car motor is stopped.
SPECIAL HINTS
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclosure and must be level. A spirit level is supplied with each
refrigerator and by placing it in the freezer compartment, one can level the refrigerator both ways front to back and
side to side. When installing the refrigerator in the enclosure, care should be taken to ensure a complete sealing
between the front frame of the refrigerator and the top sides and bottom of the enclosure. For this purpose a length
of sealing strip is shipped with each refrigerator.
The strips should be applied to the rear surfaces of the front frame of the refrigerator and to the foremost bottom
surface of the enclosure as shown in Fig. 5.
Be careful not to damage the sealing strip applied to the bottom of the enclosure when the refrigerator is put in
place.
Any space between counter or storage area and the top of the refrigerator must be blocked. The heat produced at the
rear of the refrigerator will otherwise become trapped in this space making the top of the refrigerator hot and
reducing the efficiency of the refrigerator.
