Congratulations on your purchase of a Bushman Arcticold DC-L fridge. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and use. Please be safe and use common sense and caution when installing, operating and cleaning this appliance. If you are unsure about any of these instructions, contact your local dealer before proceeding.
WIRING For optimum results, you will need the correct sized wire depending on the distance from your power supply to the fridge. Wiring must be directly from your fridge to your battery and should be continuous without joins. Please also ensure the earth is wired directly to your battery, not to a chasse. If your wiring is insufficient, your fridge may not perform correctly or may be even be damaged.

INSTALLATION IN A CAVITY WITH THE MOUNTING KIT DC-L fridges are designed to be installed in a cavity. We recommend allowing a minimum 5mm gap on the left side, right side and above the fridge cabinet when installing. A minimum gap of 50mm is recommended for the rear. Refer to the following table and diagram for the recommended cut-out dimensions.
EFFICIENT OPERATION VENTILATION Two vents need to be provided from the rear of the fridge cavity to the outside environment, or to the general area where the fridge is located. The vents should be located at the bottom and top of the fridge cavity and have a free cross section of at least 200cm2 each.
