USING WITH SOLAR PANEL OR
GENERATOR
USING WITH SOLAR PANELS
+ The power consumption and efficiency of
your fridge makes it ideal to be used in
conjunction with solar panels to provide
recharging of the DC power source. Solar panels
will provide charge into the battery during the
daylight hours even while the appliance is
operating.
+ As the output from solar panels changes
depending on the level of sunlight and intensity,
your fridge cannot be connected directly to the
solar panels. The appliance must be connected to
a suitable DC battery and then the solar panels
connected to the battery.
+ We recommend the use of the quality portable
solar panel kits from 100 to 200 watts for use
with your fridge. DO NOT connect the fridge
directly to the solar panel as it will not work.
Connection must be via the battery.
USING PORTABLE
GENERATORS
+ It is important that the your fridge
is never connected directly to a generator. This
fridge is designed to operate directly
from a battery. Using from a generator may
result in damage to your fridge which
may void your appliance warranty.
+ Most generators are fitted with a DC power
output socket - DO NOT connect your fridge
directly to the DC power output of the generator
as this will result in damage to your fridge and
void warranty. Connection must be via the
battery.
+ When charging the battery using a digital or
inverter type generator, we recommend only
using a ‘smart battery charger’ that is fully
automatic, spark proof and reverse polarity
protected. The battery charger is connected
directly to the AC power output of the generator.
Only run this fridge directly from a battery
