USING WITH SOLAR PANEL OR
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 100 to 200 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.
USING PORTABLE
GENERATORS
+ It is important that the your fridge/freezer
is never connected directly to a generator. This
fridge/freezer is designed to operate directly
from a battery. Using from a generator may result
in damage to your fridge/freezer which may void
your appliance warranty.
+ 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.
