Electrical installation

Electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
The connection cables must be laid in such a way that they do not come in
contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges.
The electrical installation must comply with national regulations (EN
60335-1 for Europe).
6.6.1
Power line connection
The power must be supplied via a properly earthed socket outlet or hardwired
connection.
Where a socket outlet is used for the mains connection lead, the outlet
must be freely accessible.
6.6.2
Battery connection
The 12V circuit must be protected with a 16A fuse.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent the refrigerator from being left on and
draining the battery when the vehicle's engine is
not running and charging the battery, it is recom-
mended that an automatic cutout relay be installed
between the battery and the refrigerator toggle
switch so that the refrigerator will not draw current
when the vehicle ignition is switched off.
Alternatively, a suitable plug and receptacle should
be installed in the 12V supply line so that the refri-
gerator can be disconnected from the supply, as
necessary.
