F• or a Motor Home the house battery and the
vehicle battery may be the same battery.
For a caravan the 12 volt connections can only •
be made to separate batteries.
12V AND “D+” CONNECTION
The refrigerator is equipped with two terminals intended for
connection to 12 volt.
RM2355, RM2455 and RM2555:
One terminal is marked
“ConneCt to permanent 12 Volt DC house battery” and
the other “ConneCt to VehiCle 12 Volt DC battery”, see
Fig. 19.
RM4605 and RM4805: One terminal is marked “
12V DC
house
” and the other “12V DC VehiCle”, see Fig. 20.
CONNECTION MARKED “ConneCt to VehiCle
12 Volt DC battery” (RM2355/RM2455/RM2555) - OR -
“12V DC VehiCle” (RM4605/RM4805)
This connection supplies the 12V DC heating element.
The (+12V) and (-) poles have to be connected directly to the
vehicle battery. Via a suitable connection to the tow vehicle
when fitted to a caravan.
The (+12V) supply wire, connected to the terminal block (S)
on the wiring diagrams, has to be fused according to the table
below. Do not use the chassis for the return lead.

In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas cock
of an approved type bottled gas must be incorporated in the
supply line in a position that is readily accessible to the user.
For eventual servicing purposes, the union should be on the
outlet side of the cock and the pipe work should be positioned
so as not to prevent the refrigerator from being readily
withdrawn.
Before leaving, the installer should:
Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. •
DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks!
Ignite the burner to ensure correct operation of gas valve, •
burner and ignition.
Instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case •
the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have
been carried out, contact the authorised service provider in
your area.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical installation must be carried out by authorised
personnel.
For mains voltage operation, it is important that
the circuit to and in the motorhome is effectively
earthed.
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong recep-
tacle. DO NOT cut off or remove the grounding prong from
this plug!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
230-240V SUPPLIES
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same as
the main voltage in use (230-240V).
Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that
they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp
parts of the refrigerator.
The free length of the cord is
1 m. It is recommended that the
receptacle is located on the left side
of the refrigerator (viewed from the
rear) and approximately 150 mm
from the floor. This allows easy
access through the vent door.
The cord should be routed to avoid
direct contact with the burner
cover, flue cover or any other com-
ponents that could damage the cord
insulation.
