electrical connection
120v ac connection
The refrigerator is equipped with a grounded three-prong plug
for protection against shock hazards. It should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug!
The free length of the cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended
that the receptacle be located to the left side (opposite side of
refrigerator burner assembly) of the refrigerator (viewed from
the rear).
To allow easy access through the vent door,
place the receptacle 3” above the refrigera-
tor mounting floor. The cord should
be routed to avoid direct contact with the
burner cover, flue cover or any other compo-
nents that could damage the cord insulation.

12v Dc connection
The refrigerator requires a continuous 12V DC supply to main-
tain the automatic energy system. The connection is made to
the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the terminal block
on back of the refrigerator, see “
APPENDIX A - REARVIEW
EqUIPMENT
”.
Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the DC
supply. Do not use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the
conductors. Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route to
the DC supply. The connections must be clean, tight and free
from corrosion.
Ensure that the wires from the battery to the refrigerator are
able to handle the load. The distance the current must travel
from the battery to the refrigerator dictates the AWG wire size
to be used. Inadequate wire sizes can result in a voltage drop
which affects the refrigerator performance.
Recommended wire sizes are displayed in the following table:
conDuctor wire length anD size

17 ft (5 m)

27 ft (8 m)
12
Example:
If the distance between the refrigerator and the
12V DC supply is 17 ft, the total wire length is 34 ft and a wire
size of 14 AWG should be used.
