Site Preparation
Removing the Existing Refrigerator (if
applicable)
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a
dangerous situation. Always perform a leak test for
possible leaks according to the manufacturer’s instructions
after removing any appliance.
●NEVER leak test when smoking. Never use a flame.
●Do not use any appliance until connection has been leak
tested and does not leak.
●Remove the existing refrigerator (if applicable):
−Unplug the 120V AC power cord from the receptacle
at the rear of the refrigerator enclosure.
−Disconnect the 12V DC leads from the refrigerator and
cap the lead ends.
−Turn off the LP gas supply to the refrigerator.
−Disconnect the LP gas line from the refrigerator. Cap
the line and verify there are no LP gas leaks.
−Remove the screws anchoring the refrigerator to the
enclosure.
−Slide the refrigerator out from the enclosure and
remove it from the RV.
Select Location
●Your new refrigerator must stand on a flat surface which
should support a weight of 330Lbs (150kg). Surface must
be level relative to the coach floor plane.
NOTE: A slope that is comfortable to live with, and from
normal transportation is acceptable.
●If the appliance is to be placed onto the carpet, support it
with a wooden board. Do not place the appliance directly
on the carpet, as the heat from the compressor may
cause the carpet to fade.
●For best and most efficient operation, the refrigerator
should operate within 50°F ~ 126°F (10°C ~ 52°C). If
installing near large heat sources, such as furnaces,
fireplaces, furnaces, etc. Ensure a thermal barrier, such
as wood paneling isolates the refrigerator space as not to
hinder performance of the appliance.
Refrigerator Cabinet/Enclosure Preparation
●The built-in refrigerator is designed for 0" clearance to the
sides, top. There is an intentional ¼" clearance between
the back of the unit and cabinet to allow the service wire
to enter the cabinet space. Frame the cabinet to the
dimensions indicated below:
H
D
W
¼” space wire entrance
to the cabinet
1/4"
Model W H D
8 cu. ft. 12 Volt Built-in
Refrigerator 23½"±⅛"52⅞"±⅛"24"±⅛"
10 cu. ft. 12 Volt Built-in
Refrigerator 23½"±⅛"59⅞"±⅛"24"±⅛"
●Squareness of the cabinet/enclosure needs to be within
the "W" & "H" dimensions described in two places on
either end. The diagonal measurement should be within
⅜" from each other.
●The base support of the cabinet/enclosure must be
prepared with a 0 degree slope. If the existing cabinet/
enclosure has a base with a slope, shimming is required to
level and support the refrigerator.

6
NOTE: Cabinet/enclosures of absorption style fridges
may be built with a 3 degree slope towards the rear. The
slope is to allow moisture drainage towards the sidewall
vent.
●The cooling system is a forced air closed loop design,
with inlet and exhaust on the bottom front of the unit. The
enclosure does not need to be ventilated for any purpose.
There is also no need for additional insulation on sides
and top of the enclosure. The enclosure can be treated as
a normal cabinet enclosure of the living space.
●Face surfaces of the cabinet enclosure made from solid
MDF should contain a softwood backing as a skeleton for
mounting support, and to reduce splitting.
NOTE: A softwood core with MDF laminate, or a soft/
hardwood face will be sufficient without a skeleton
backing.
Electrical Preparation
WARNING
●Proper grounding is required for your safety, to prevent
electrical shock or fire. The refrigerator is provided with
the proper grounding for internal electric faults from the
factory. This grounding must not be removed or altered.
●Ensure that the converter or DC power supply is
grounded properly per manufacturers instruction. Per
RVIA the power supply is required to be isolated and
grounded with the Coach Chassis.
CAUTION
This refrigerator will accept voltage levels up to 17V DC
only. Anything other than this, including any AC power will
cause product damage and void the warranty.
●The refrigerator requires a power source that can
adequately provide 10.2~14.2V DC to function properly.
Furrion Recommends Power Center (FCVSWC42A or
FCVSWC54A) and Lithium Battery (FB12I10C) to match
with.
●The refrigerator should be dedicated to a single branch
circuit, and must be fused for 15A minimum.
NOTE:An internal 15A fuse is provided with the product.
This is only intended to protect the internal wiring of the
unit. It will not protect the power source and wiring to the
product and is not to be used as a substitute. The internal
fuse will however allow for a larger rated branch circuit.
NOTE: Sharing power with other devices on the same
branch circuit may cause transient surges and voltage
drops. These interferences may damage or limit
functionally of all devices on the branch circuit.
NOTE: When replacing an absorption refrigerator, the
power supplied is usually shared with other powered
features in the coach, such as overhead lights. A separate
dedicated branch circuit will be preferred to eliminate
flickering during compressor operation.
●The maximum input of the appliance is rated for 11A. All
wiring must follow RVIA and NEC standards based on the
input rating.
●Apply the following wiring guidelines to achieve maximum
performance out of the battery reserve.

●If no sidewall access panel/vent is available to reach
the rear wire connection of the appliance, plan for the
appropriate wire length to reach outside of the cabinet so
the wire connection can be made before installing.
NOTE:Furrion recommends dropping the 12V feed wire
from the upper rear of the cabinet down to the terminal
block. Temporarily affix the wires to the upper half of the
appliance with tape so that excess wire will droop without
risk of rubbing with the appliance chassis and floor during
installation.
Drainage Preparation
The cavity condensate drainage is captured in a drain pan
integrated with the unit. No external drainage needs to be
prepared at this point.

Refrigerator Exterior Cleaning
To maintain good appearance of your refrigerator, it is
recommended to clean it regularly.
Mix together one to two tablespoon of baking soda and
one quart of water. Wipe down the walls and glass doors of
the refrigerator with this solution, then rinse it with water.
Wipe the refrigerator dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and
scrubbing pads or they will damage the refrigerator surfaces.
Battery Maintenance
Your refrigerator has an automatic shut-off switch, should the
voltage drop below 9.6V at the terminal connection. This is to
help prevent permanent damage to your batteries.
NOTE: Once voltage is re-established the refrigerator will
begin working automatically per the setting of the dial.
When possible maintain the float voltage listed on your
battery. Solar is a good way to maintain battery voltage if
a local power source is not available. Contact Furrion for
further questions or options on Solar.
