3Important Safety Warnings & Product Information

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

1. When using the unit ensure the circuit being used has a fuse or circuit breaker, recommended size for DC 12 Volt is 15 Amp, DC 24 Volt is 7.5 Amp.

2 Make sure the voltage is within the correct range for socket and cable being used.

3. Do not place any electrical devices inside the refrigerator as they may be damaged.

WARNING: Do not use your unit if any cabling is damaged, frayed or exposed. Do not attempt or continue to operate your unit if it is wet.

1. Your unit requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 100mm around all vents.

2. Do not allow a large amount of frost to build up on the inside walls as this may impair cooling. Defrost by turning the unit off, allowing the frost to melt and wipe out the water.

3. The lower the ambient temperature, the lower the power usage. In order to maximise efficiency keep the unit in a cool location out of direct sunlight.

4. It is recommended to operate the unit on a flat surface, but it will operate at angles up to 30º.
