Installing and connecting the refrigerator Connecting the refrigerator to AC voltage DANGER! DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION • Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are stand- ing on a wet surface. • If you are operating your refrigerator on board a boat with an AC mains connection using a shore connection, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the AC mains supply and the refrigerator.
Page 28
Installing and connecting the refrigerator CRX50DC, CRX65DC, CRX80DC, CRX110DC You can connect the refrigerator to 100 – 240 Vw AC power if you use the MPS35 rectifier (accessory). The MPS35 rectifier features a priority circuit which conserves the battery con- nected.
Using the refrigerator Using the refrigerator The refrigerator conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves frozen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs. NOTICE! DANGER OF DAMAGE • Do not place any electrical devices inside the cooler. The only exceptions are devices approved for the purpose by the manu- facturer.
