resetting breakers must not be used. Do not add an additional fuse to
the pigtail end of the appliance.
The following is a starting guideline for wire sizing and should be
adjusted based on actual voltage drop:
●15ft or less = 10AWG
●15ft to 25ft = 8AWG
●25ft to 40ft = 6AWG
Installation TIPS:
●Voltage drop can be reduced by terminating the -12V (white) lead
directly to the vehicle chassis.
●-12V (white) and Ground (Green) leads can be combined at the
appliance or individually terminated.

●After cleaning wipe with fresh water and clean dishcloth.
●Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment. Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of something
like a soft green peg, take care not to damage the cabinet.
●After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
Tips for Refrigeration
●Meat (all types): wrap in polyethylene (plastic) bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. To avoid food poising
or contamination store meats properly wrapped for one or two days
only.
●Cooked foods, cold dishes; these should be covered and may be
placed on any shelf.
●Fruit and vegetables: thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer provided.
●Dairy: placed in aluminum foil or polyethylene (plastic) bags while
removing as much air as possible.
●Milk bottles: capped and stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Traveling
Your refrigerator is designed to operate during normal transportation
of your coach. Please refer to the following guidelines to assist during
transportation.
●Always travel with the doors closed and ensure will not open during
traveling.
●Avoid traveling with food in the cavity. Wait until you have arrived to
your destination and remove any remaining food before departing.
●Turn refrigerator to “OFF” (LOW POWER MODE) if climbing/crawling
any off-road grades. Compressor oil should resettle within 2 hours.
●Ensure the refrigerator has reached a desired stable temperature
before departing for your trip. Avoid storing temperature sensitive
items in the refrigerator while you are traveling unless a DC12V
power source power source is available. During towing, the
refrigerator can be operated as normal, as the tow vehicle should
charge the DC12V power source. See Off-grid Vacation Mode for
conserving power.
●Once you arrive at your destination, use the refrigerator as instructed
in this manual.
STORAGE / WINTERIZATION
●A DC12V power source maintainer should be used for long storage,
to keep a full charge.
●If the appliance is in storage, and not intended to be in operation,
disconnect power, clean the inside thoroughly, and leave the doors
propped open to avoid abnormal odors from developing.
●To prevent quick discharging of the batteries, the refrigerator can be
turned off to enter LOW POWER mode. Both the temperature displays
will show “--”. Press and hold the FUNCTION for 5 seconds to cycle
between ON/OFF.
●In LOW POWER mode, the interior lights, compressor and defroster
are turned off.
At Power Failure
●Generally, short-term power failure will not affect the temperature of
the refrigerator. However, if power failure lasts for a long time, you
shall reduce the opening frequency of refrigerator, and shall not put
fresh foods into the refrigerator (prevent rise in the temperature of
refrigerator from speeding up).
●If you know power failure is coming, you can turn on the “Super
Freezer” function in advance to keep the temperature of refrigerator
to the lowest value.
Shut Down
●Generally, it is not suggested to stop refrigerator or turn off the
power switch; otherwise, the lifetime of refrigerator may be affected.
Energy Saving Tips
●Make sure to keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and
direct sunlight.
●Before storing hot foods, cool them down to room temperature and
then put them into the refrigerator.
●Close the door timely, reduce the opening frequency, and shorten the
opening time.
●When unfreezing frozen foods, you can put them into the refrigerator
chamber, which will assist in refrigeration of the refrigerator
chamber.
●Make sure that the temperature sensor is not covered or blocked by
foods, and keep proper distance with foods.

Low voltage, the
compressor can’t start Charge the RV-batteries by connecting the RV to the shore power.
Long time to start When the surrounding ambient temperature is high, it will take a while to feel the compartments cooling.
Middle beams feel hot Middle beams feel hot after a period of time of the appliance run, it is a normal phenomenon.
Dew drops
When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the fridge, dew drops can be formed.
If the humidity of the installed location is high or during the rainy season, dew drops can form on the outer side of the fridge. This is a natural
phenomenon that occurs during the humid weather, Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth.
Noise
When you operate the fridge for the first time, the fridge will operate at high speed to cool fast and the sound can seem louder. When the internal
temperature falls below a certain level,the noise will subside.
When the compressor is starting up, or stopping, various parts may expand or contract. This may generate some audible sounds, noises, which are
perfectly normal.
Compressor hot When working, the temperature of the compressor housing may rise to more than 176°F - please do not touch the compressor, it may cause serious
injury.
Compressor long time
running
When the ambient temperature is too high or put too much fresh foods into the fridge, it will take long time to cool down until the appliance runs at the
setting temperature.
