12 Volts DC Connection

This refrigerator model is not designed for 12 volt DC

operation of the cooling system; however, a continuous

12 volt DC must be supplied to the refrigerator to oper-

ate the controls. Use a minimum of a 14 gauge wire

between the battery and refrigerator to supply the con-

trol voltage.

The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative (-)

terminals located at the rear of the refrigerator. (See

FIG. 1). Correct polarity must be observed when con-

necting 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.

INSTALLING REFRIGERATOR IN

ENCLOSURE

NOTE: DO NOT install the appliance directly on

carpeting. Carpeting must be removed or

protected by a metal or wood panel beneath

the appliance, which extends at least full

width and depth of the appliance.

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 ap-

plied to the rear surface of the front frame for this pur-

pose, 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 com-

bustion seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be

secured in the enclosure with six screws (not included).

The screws have to be installed in the following order:

STEP 1: Two screws installed on the front base.

STEP 2: Two screws installed in the top frame.

STEP 3: Two screws installed in the rear base.

STEP 4: The refrigerator is provided with a lower front

strip (shipped as a loose part). The front strip is to be

attached after the refrigerator is set into the cutout opening,

and secured with 3 screws, (not included). (See FIG. 5).

Failure to follow the sequence in securing the refrigerator

in the enclosure can cause leakage between the frame

and cabinet. Plastic caps are provided to cover the screw

holes in the top decoration.

Any space between the counter, storage area or ceiling

and top of the refrigerator greater than 1-1/2 inches

should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the

refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making

the top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efficiency

of the refrigerator.

FIG. 4

TESTING LP GAS SAFETY SHUTOFF

The gas safety shutoff must be tested after the re-

frigerator is connected to the LP gas supply.

To test the gas safety shutoff, proceed as follows:

1. Start the refrigerator and switch to GAS mode.

(See start up instructions).

2. Check that the gas flame is lit and the GAS mode

indicator lamp (C) is on.

3. Close the manual gas shutoff valve at the back of

the refrigerator. (See FIG. 1).

4. Wait for one minute. The CHECK indicator lamp (D)

should be on and the GAS mode indicator lamp (C)

should be off.
