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.

Caution: Use care when installing the refrigerator. This

refrigerator is equipped with the latest vacuum insulated

panel technology. These insulating panels are located

on the Top, Back, Bottom, Sides and Doors of the

refrigerator.

If the surface is punctured, loss of insulation will occur,

resulting in poor refrigerator performance.

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 attached after

the refrigerator is set into the cutout opening.

1. Install the lower front strip by sliding it under the

bottom hinge plates, as shown in FIG. 5.
