Operation of the refrigerator directly from thebattery will rapidly discharge the battery. Correctly supplyDC power to the refrigerator.The refrigerator gets DC power from the vehicle battery system.The battery system also supplies power to any other DCappliances or accessories of the vehicle.A dual battery system provides the best power usage. Thissystem uses two batteries. One battery supplies DC poweronly to the vehicle engine and its accessories. The secondbattery supplies DC power only to the DC appliances of thevehicle. An alternator, powered by the vehicle engine, chargesboth of the batteries.Refrigerator Care ChecklistYour refrigerator will give you years of trouble free service if youdo these simple checks every three to six months:- Keep the food compartment and the freezer clean. See“Cleaning”.- Defrost the refrigerator as necessary. See “Defrosting”.- Make sure the door seals correctly.
