Installation

Locating the Refrigerator

The refrigerator is to be located on a solid and level

floor that is strong enough to support the combined
weight of the refrigerator and its contents. Install the
refrigerator in area way from direct sunlight or other
heat generating sources.

AC Power Connection

This refrigerator is designed to operate on 120 volt AC,
60 Hertz grounded circuit. The refrigerator AC power
cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
which must mate with a three-prong grounding recep-
tacle to protect against possible shock hazards. Oper-
ating the refrigerator without proper ground can cause
property damage, severe personal injury, or loss of life.
It is the owner/installer’s personal responsibility and
obligation to provide a properly grounded circuit to the
refrigerator in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from the refrigerator’s AC power cord.

Route the 120 volt AC supplying the receptacle

through a fuse panel or circuit breaker which will protect
the vehicle when an outside power source is used.

The

use of an extension cord is not recommended.

Notice: If AC power is supplied by an on-board generator,

it is important to maintain both the voltage and
frequency to within the specifications stated on
page 2.

DC Power Connection

To minimize the possibility of electrical interference

from other DC appliances, it is imperative that the
refrigerator has an independent 12 volt DC supply. The
12 volt DC connection is made by connecting the DC
power source directly from the battery to the refrigera-
tor. To further limit the possibility of interference and
induction due to voltage spikes, twist the 12 volt supply
wires from the battery to the refrigerator.

Do not use a converter or battery charger to supply the
DC power directly to the refrigerator. These two devices
do not supply filtered DC power. When using a con-
verter or battery charger, a battery must be in line
between these devices and the refrigerator. Refer to
Figure 14 on page 8 for correct wire routing.

The size or wire to be used for the refrigerator’s power

supply is dependent upon the distance between the
battery and the refrigerator. Refer to Table 2 for the
recommended wire size. Undersized wire can lead to
a voltage drop which will greatly reduce the refrigera-
tor’s performance.

The DC supply connects to the refrigerator at the

terminal block of the power supply located at the rear
of the refrigerator. The positive (+) supply lead con-
nects to the red wire and the negative (-) supply lead
connects to the black wire of the refrigerator’s power
supply (refer to Figure 4 on page 5). Observe the
correct polarity when connecting the DC supply to the
refrigerator.

Route the 12 volt DC supply wires to

protect them from damage

To protect the refrigerator’s electrical circuit, install a

15 amp fuse or circuit breaker in the positive battery
supply lead as close to the battery as possible.

Disconnect the positive supply wire from the battery
before applying a "fast charge" to the battery. Failure
