Operating Instructions BUSHMAN DC230-X 230L 12V / 24V DC Upright Fridge Congratulations on your purchase of a Bushman DC230-X. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and use. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not lay your fridge on its back, top or sides or at any angle exceeding 30º. If your fridge has been handled this way, stand the fridge upright for 12 hrs to allow the internal fluids to redistribute evenly before use.

Installation of the DC230-X must be completed by a suitably trained professional only. POWER SUPPLY Your fridge must be connected to a stable and regulated 12 V or 24 V DC power supply only. The compressor will automatically detect which voltage is present and adjust accordingly. If you are using a generator or other power supply, the output must be only a pure sine wave.

Ventilation will have a critical impact on the efficient operation of your fridge. A minimum of 2 vents needs to be provided from the rear of the fridge cavity to the outside environment, or to the main room where the fridge is located.
