3. Connect to a power supply: connect the refrigerator to the vehicle 12/24VDC system directly, the minimal cable cross-section as per the below table based on the overall length of wire between the refrigerator and the battery. It is highly recommended that the installation fridge is carried out by a qualified person. Enough free wire needed to be kept for moving the fridge into the cabinet.
Wire Length to Refrigerator| Wire Gauge
---|---
Maximum 6 m| 14AWG
Maximum| 12AWG
Maximum 17m| AWG
4. Push the fridge into the cabinet carefully to avoid scratching the floor, and the power cable should be kept loose. 5. Mount the fridge with the cabinet wall: the screw holder is built into the side wall of the refrigerator, a hole needs to be drilled through the screw holder into the side metal panel with a screw (MS, 15mm minimal) and fix it on the wall; after that, use the screw cover to cover the hole. (If the refrigerator needs to be drilled through, it should be confirmed before leaving the factory. The screws are not included with the refrigerator.) 6. Verify the installation: once the installation had been finished, check the continuity of the earth circuit and carry out all electrical safety testing provided for by current regulations. Protect and fix the cables in order to prevent accidental pulling of the cable from disconnecting it from the connections or coming into contact with hot parts with a temperature above 50° Cor with sharp parts.

REMOVING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
