Install the two screws in the top frame, the holes are accessible from underneath, see FIG. 6.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Automatic energy selection between AC/DC
The priority of energy sources is AC (when available)!
120 V connection
FIG. 6 Replace the top decoration panel. Be careful not to snap back into the holes in the hinge plate. pinch the wires behind the panel. Make sure the tabs If installed according to FIG. 1 the space between the counter and the top of the refrigerator should be blocked with a material, such as foam strips. Otherwise, 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.
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as the voltage in use (120 V). The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug for protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Electrical leads must be routed and secured to avoid direct contact with hot or sharp parts of the refrigerator.
12 V connection
Repositioning the hinges
The refrigerator is equipped with reversible doors. Use the special door reversing kit to revers the doors.
The 12 V connection is made to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the terminal block on the back of the refrigerator. Connect the refrigerator to the battery by a direct cable. Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to DC supply. Do not use the chassis for the return lead. The distance the current must travel from the battery to the refrigerator (+ and - wire together) dictates the AWG wire size to be used. Should the wire be too small for the distance, a voltage drop will result and cause a decreased cooling capacity. Recommended wire sizes are shown below.
Instructions for mounting the door panel
The refrigerator is normally delivered without door panels. Before starting the mounting work, check that the panel dimensions are in compliance with those given in the table and the instructions are read thoroughly. When mounting the panel, proceed as follows: A. Open the door 90 degrees. On new refrigerators, the decoration strips are taped inside the door; if installed on the door, remove the door decoration strip by removing its three screws on the top of the door. B. Insert the vertical edges into the grooves of the door frame. C. Push the panel downward so that the lower horizontal edge of the panel is fitted into the bottom groove. D. Put the decoration strip across the door so that the gap is covered. Secure the decoration strip with the three screws removed in Step A.
MAXIMUM TOTAL CONDUCTOR WIRE LENGTH (in feet and meters) AWG 10 AWG 8 AWG 6 17 feet 5m 32 feet 9m 50 feet 15 m
The wires from the battery to the refrigerator must be of large enough size, to handle the load. The connections must be clean, tight and free from corrosion.
