➤
Before starting up the appliance for the first time, check whether the op-
erating voltage and the battery voltage match (see type plate).
➤
Connect the refrigerator
– as directly as possible to the poles of the battery or
– to a 12 or 24 V DC socket.
Fit a fuse in the positive wire of at least 15 A (for 12 V) or 7.5 A (for 24 V)
(fig.
e
1, page 9).
➤
Connect the red cable (fig.
e
rt, page 9) to the positive terminal of the
battery.
➤
Connect the black cable (fig.
e
sw, page 9) to the negative terminal of
the battery.
Caution
Disconnect the refrigerator and other electric loads from the battery
before connecting the battery to a quick charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the appliance electronics.
For safety reasons the refrigerator is equipped with an electronic system to
prevent the polarity being reversed. This protects the refrigerator against re-
versed polarity when connecting to a battery and against short circuiting. To
protect the battery, the refrigerator switches off automatically if the voltage is
insufficient (see table below).
