be used. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and dry. You may want to leave the doors open
allowing the compartments to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors.
Positioning
The area in which the appliance is to be installed should be relatively cool, dry, and suitably
ventilated. The area should be protected against any beating rain and free of abundant dust. To
ensure proper function, the appliance must be placed horizontally on a flat, firm, and stable
surface resting level on all four supports. Use wood or metal shims to level the appliance if
necessary. Do not place the appliance close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler, chimney, etc.),
and avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
A minimum spacing of 3 inches (7.5cm) behind the
refrigerator is highly recommended.
This will provide sufficient airflow around the condenser
resulting in more efficient operation and longer appliance lifetime. Always keep the air vent
openings of the compressor housing cover free from dust and obstructions.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (12 or 24VDC Only)
The refrigerator will automatically turn on when 12 OR 24VDC power is connected. There is no
separate on/off switch and no requirement to select the operating voltage.
Do not connect
power until you have completed the installation instructions.
Polarity is important in wiring this DC appliance. The red (or black wire with a red stripe) is the
positive wire. The black wire is negative. The unit is not damaged by reverse polarity, but will
not run. Some components in the unit may be damaged if more than 31VDC is applied
Fuse
The user must provide a fuse to protect the wiring. A
standard automobile fuse is recommended and the fuse
should be wired to the positive (“+”) side of the system
close to the positive battery terminal.
If a longer connection cable is necessary, the wire gauge must be equal to or greater than the
wire sizes recommended on the following table. Be careful that the input voltage at the appliance
does not drop below the cut-out voltage of the compressor. Inadequate wiring or poorly made
wire connections are a very common reason the appliance will not run or not run consistently.
