DC control is required to maintain the automatic energy
system). The connection is made to the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals of the terminal block on the back
of the refrigerator. (See FIG. 1). 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 distance the current must travel from the battery to
the refrigerator dictates the AWG wire size to be used.
Should the wire be too small for the distance, a voltage
drop will result.
Recommended wire sizes are shown below.
Maximum total conductor wire length in feet and meters.

The wires from the battery to the refrigerator must be of
large enough size to handle the load. The connections
must be clean, tight and free from corrosion.
INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN
ENCLOSURE
The transport support at the rear of the refrigerator can
be removed if necessary for the installation of the refrig-
erator in the enclosure. (See figure above).
NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on
carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or
protected by a metal or wood panel be-
neath the appliance which extends at least
full width and depth of the appliance.
NOTE: A wood strip must be in place across the upper
opening of the enclosure. The top frame of the refriger-
ator will be anchored to the wood strip with screws,
see FIG. 10.
The refrigerator must be installed in a substantial enclo-
sure and must be level. When installing the refrigerator
in the enclosure, all areas within the recess in which the
refrigerator is installed must be sealed.
Make sure that there is a complete seal between the
front frame of the refrigerator and the top, sides and
bottom of the enclosure. A length of sealing strip is
applied to the rear surface of the front frame for this
purpose, see FIG. 4. The sealing should provide a
complete isolation of the appliance’s combustion system
from the vehicle interior.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the sealing strip when
the refrigerator is put in place.
Securing the Refrigerator
After the refrigerator is put in place, (ensuring a combus-
tion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be
secured in the enclosure with six screws. The screws
have to be installed in the following order:
Step 1: Two screws installed through the front base,
which includes the lower front strip installation.
The refrigerator is provided with a lower front strip (ship-
ped as a loose part). The front strip is to be installed after
the refrigerator is set into the cut-out opening.
1. Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the
bottom hinge plates, as shown in FIG. 5.
