11. 12 VOLT DC CONNECTION

This refrigerator model is not designed for 12 volt DC operation of the cooling system; however, 12 volt DC must be supplied to the refrigerator to operate the controls. Use a minimum of a 14 gauge wire between the battery and refrigerator to supply the control voltage. The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the terminal block on back of refrigerator (See FIG. 12). The 12 volt DC supply circuit must be fused, and the maximum fuse size is 5 amps.

DO NOT use the body or chassis of the vehicle as a substitute for either of the two conductors. Do not connect any other electrical equipment of lighting to the refrigerator circuit.

Clean Direct Current (DC) power is mandatory for high-tech circuits to operate as designed. The sources for DC power are a battery and a converter.

A battery will provide straight line DC power, but extended operation will require recharging of the battery by the converter or the alternator.

The converter and alternator produces DC power by a series of diodes that rectify alternating current to DC. A battery or capacitors can be used to clean up the AC ripple that is present after AC voltage has been rectified.

12. INSTRUCTION FOR INSTALLING DOOR PANEL

The refrigerator is delivered without the door panels. Before starting the mounting work, check that the panel dimensions are in compliance with those given in the Table on this page and the instructions are read thoroughly. When mounting the panel, proceed as follows. (See FIG. 14).

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 the three screws on the fresh food compartment door; and the two screws on the freezer compartment door.

B.Make sure the two pins are in the end frame of the door to support the panel. See FIG. 14.

C.Slide panel into grooves on vertical edges of the door until it rests on the pins at the lower frame of door.

D.Replace the trim strip and screws.
