1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
The TruckFridge Built-in refrigerator (TruckFridge) has been designed and tested to give many years of performance and
reliability. The 12 and 24 Vdc power supply (110-220 Vac optional) makes them especially versatile. The power source can
either be a battery, a transformer, a photo-voltaic (Solar) panel or common household 110Vac. Provided with a totally
watertight compressor, they offer a minimal power consumption and noise level. All the models are extremely easy to install.
They can work even if they are assembled at a slant of up to 30°. In order to make sure that your TruckFridge refrigerator
works as efficiently as possible, please pay attention to the following general instructions:
•
Never connect a battery charger directly to the refrigerator. A battery and in-line 15 amp fuse must be used to
protect the compressor and Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
•
Reduce opening the door of the refrigerator to reduce the waste of energy
•
Proper ventilation of the compressor and of the condenser unit reduces the energy consumption and increases
overall efficiency and performance.
•
The wiring system of the vehicle is in proper condition. Routinely check the batteries and the charge level. Follow the
instructions about the cable cross sections and the fuse connections strictly. See Section
3.5: Wiring System:
Function and Feature s for details.
•
Keep the inside of the refrigerator clean and dry. Remove any condensate water which might gather in the tray
under the freezer compartment
•
Keep the door of the refrigerator slightly open in order to air it out if you do not use it for a long time, for example in
winter.
