USING SOLAR PANELS
The power consumption and efficiency of your appliance makes it ideal to be used in
conjunction with solar panels to provide recharging of the DC supply. Solar panels will
provide charge into the battery during the daylight hours even while the appliance is
operating.
As the output from solar panels change depending on the level of sunlight and intensity,
your fridge cannot be connected directly to the solar panels. The appliance must be
connected to a suitable DC battery and then the solar panels connected to the battery
with a regulator.
USING PORTABLE GENERATORS
It is important that the correct generator is used with your appliance. An incorrect
generator or output may result in reduced performance or damage to your appliance
which may void your appliance warranty.
If connecting directly to an AC generator, ensure that only a digital or inverter type
generator is used. These provide a more reliable and constant 240V AC output and are
specifically designed to power electronics.
Most generators are fitted with a DC output-
DO NOT
connect your fridge directly to the
DC output of the generator as this will result in damage to your appliance and void
warranty.
It is recommended that the appliance remains connected to the DC power source. Then
using the DC output of the generator connect this to the battery to recharge it. It is
important that you monitor the battery being charged, ensuring that an oversupply of
charge is not being provided.
Connection must be via the battery.
