SETUP
GENERAL
Caution! -Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling.
Do not allow frost to build up. Never clean the appliance using a hose and
never submerge the unit in any liquid.
Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator
to work more efficiently and keep the contents cool.
Note! - Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents
of the refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 200mm around the vents.
Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When
using the fridge in a vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it.
ELECTRICAL
Power: The electronic control module controls the compressor motor and
includes three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below
the minimum, the compressor will cut out; when the voltage rises to the cut-in
value, the compressor will restart automatically.
Battery Protection: The Danfoss compressor requires approximately
11.0 Volts (12 Volt System) or 23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate.
If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop running.
CABLE SPECIFICATION
Cable Area 12V Max Cable Length* 24V Max Cable Length*
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table:
Note! The length is from the battery to the refrigerator.
