Ventilation
Overview
The refrigerator is made for a built-in installation. Correct
ventilation is necessary for the correct operation of the refrigerator.
Cooler air comes in through the lower vent, goes around the
refrigerator coils where it removes the excess heat from the
refrigerator components, and goes out through the upper
vent/ control cover. If this air fl ow is blocked or decreased, the
refrigerator will not cool correctly. Do not install the refrigerator in a
completely enclosed area such as a closet or a cabinet.
The refrigerator has built-in vents at the
top and bottom. Make sure that the air
fl ow through these vents is not blocked in
any way. Blockage of the air fl ow through
these vents can:
■ Shorten the life of the refrigerator cooling
system.
■ Cause poor cooling performance of the
refrigerator.
■ Cause continuous operation of the
refrigerator cooling system.
■ Cause fast battery drain.
■ Void the refrigerator warranty.

WARNING
Installation
To confi rm that installation is adequate, make sure that
■ The ventilation is adequate. Refer to "Ventilation
Requirements" in the refrigerator Installation Manual.
■ Electrical components installed and operating in a safe
condition.
■ Refrigerator is installed on a solid and level fl oor (not on carpet)
and secured.
■ The fl oor is able to support the weight of the refrigerator and all
of its contents.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Electrical Connection
To reduce the risk of electrical interference from other DC appliances
and induction from voltage spikes:
■ The refrigerator must have an independent 12 volt supply and not be
on the same circuit as other DC appliances.
■ Route the DC power supply wires, including the fuses, directly from
the battery to the refrigerator.
■ Twist the DC supply wires between the battery and the refrigerator.
Do not use a converter or a battery char-
ger to supply DC voltage to the refrigera-
tor. These devices do not supply fi ltered
DC power. When using a converter or a
battery charger, make sure a battery is in-
line between them and the refrigerator.
Polarity
If the DC leads are installed incorrectly,
the refrigerator will not operate.
■ Connect the DC (positive) supply wire from the battery to the red wire
of the refrigerator.
■ Connect the DC (negative) supply wire from the battery to the white
wire of the refrigerator.
