Using Portable Generators

•  It is important that the correct generator size is used with your Fridge/Freezer. 

An incorrect generator or voltage output may result in reduced performance  
or damage to your Fridge/Freezer 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 power source and are specifically designed for use with electronic and 
other power sensitive appliances.

•  Most generators are fitted with a DC power output socket - DO NOT connect 

your fridge directly to the DC power output of the generator as this will result  
in damage to your Fridge/Freezer and void warranty. Connection must be via  
the battery.

•  When charging the battery using a digital or inverter type generator, we 

recommend only using a ‘smart battery charger’ that is fully automatic, spark 
proof and reverse polarity protected. The battery charger is connected  
directly to the AC power output of the generator.

Using with Solar Panels

•  The power consumption and efficiency of your Fridge/Freezer makes it ideal  

to be used in conjunction with solar panels to provide recharging of the DC 
power source. Solar panels will provide charge into the battery during the 
daylight hours even while the appliance is operating.

•  As the output from solar panels changes depending on the level of sunlight and 

intensity, your Fridge/Freezer 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.

•  We recommend the use of the quality portable solar panel kits from 60 to 120 

watts for use with your Fridge/Freezer.

DO NOT

  connect the Fridge/Freezer directly to the solar panel as it will not work.

Connection must be via the battery.
