Operation out of these limits may damage the refrigerator’s electricalcircuit parts and will void the warranty.The rear of the refrigerator cooling system has hot surfaces and sharp surfaces that can damage electricalwiring. Make sure that there is a good clearance between all electrical wiring and the cooling system of therefrigerator. Position any electrical wiring within the refrigerator enclosure opposite the burner side of therefrigerator. Do not put any electrical wiring through the roof exhaust vent. Failure to correctly positionelectrical wiring can result in electrical shock or fire.Connect the 120 volt AC supply:Connect the AC power cord only to a grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the round groundprong from the power cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter or an extension cord. Operation of therefrigerator without correct ground can cause dangerous electrical shock or death if you are touching themetal parts of the refrigerator.Put the AC power cord into a grounded three-prong receptacle:- Make sure the receptacle is positioned within easy reach of the lower intake vent.- Make sure the power cord does not touch the burner cover, the flue pipe, or any hot component that could damage the insulation ofthe power cord.Connect the 12 volts DC supply:As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator increases, the correct AWG wire size and fuse size also increases. If thewire size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop occurs. The voltage drop decreases the output of the system heater and causespoor cooling performance.1. Determine the min. wire size and the max. fuse size to use:If you use an incorrect wire size and/or fuse size, electrical fire can result.- On 2-way models, use a minimum of 18 AWG wire and a maximum 6 Amp fuse.- On 3-way models, measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator.- If the distance is 0 - 20 feet, use a minimum of 10 AWG wire and a maximum 30 Amp fuse.- If the distance is over 20 feet, use a minimum of 8 AWG wire and a maximum 40 Amp fuse.- If the wire size is larger than the min. size, use the correct fuse per RVIA A119.2 standard or local codes.NOTICEWARNING!WARNING!WARNING!
