This refrigerator operates on both AC and DC electrical sources. Operation out of these limits may damage the refrigerator’s electrical
circuit parts and will void the warranty.
WARNING:
The rear of the refrigerator cooling system has hot surfaces and sharp surfaces that can damage electrical
wiring. Make sure that there is a good clearance between all electrical wiring and the cooling system of the refrigerator.
Position any electrical wiring within the refrigerator enclosure opposite the burner side of the refrigerator. Do not put any
electrical wiring through the roof exhaust vent. Failure to correctly position electrical wiring can result in electrical shock or
fire.
Connect the 240 volt AC supply:
WARNING:
Connect the AC power cord only to a grounded three-prong power point. Do not remove the earth pin
from the power cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter or an extension cord. Operation of the refrigerator without correct
ground can cause dangerous electrical shock or death if you are touching the metal parts of the refrigerator.
Put the AC power cord into a grounded three-prong power point:
- Make sure the power point is 100-150mm above the floor of the enclosure and is positioned within easy reach of the lower intake
vent.
- Make sure the power cord does not touch the burner cover, the flue pipe, or any hot component that could damage the insulation of
the power cord.
Connect the 12 volt DC supply:
As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator increases, the correct wire size and fuse size also increases. If the wire
size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop occurs. The voltage drop decreases the output of the system heater and causes poor
cooling performance.
1. Determine the min. wire size and the max. fuse size to use:
WARNING:
If you use an incorrect wire size and/or fuse size, electrical fire can result.
- Measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator and use the following size wire and fuse:
Distance
Min wire size
Fuse size
5m
4mm²
30 Amp
8m
6mm²
40 Amp
- If the wire is larger than the min. size, use the correct fuse per local codes.
The wire connections must be clean, tight and free of corrosion. If any of these items are not correct:
- A voltage drop to the refrigerator will occur.
- The voltage drop will reduce the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
