8. Attach the bottom hinge bracket in the location where the
travel latch was removed.
9. Remove the top hinge and assemble to the opposite lower
corner of the refrigerator.
10. Assemble the travel latch on the opposite side of the
refrigerator from its original location.
11. Assemble the lower hinge pin.
12. Put the door onto the lower hinge pin and close the door.
13. Install the upper hinge pin.
14. Assemble the travel latch to the door.
15. Make sure that the door seals correctly.
- To adjust the door sealing, loosen and reposition both
hinges.

Insulate the Flexible Exhaust Pipe

Insulate the flexible exhaust pipe before you assemble it to the
vent housing. Use the non-combustible insulation material that
is supplied with the vent / exhaust assembly and flexible pipe
kit to insulate the flexible exhaust pipe.
The flexible exhaust pipe connects the lower opening of the vent
housing to the flue tube of the refrigerator cooling system. Do
not insulate the flexible air intake pipe.

WARNING:
The rear of the refrigerator cooling system
has hot surfaces and sharp surfaces that can damage
electrical wiring. Make sure that there is a good clearance
between all electrical wiring and the cooling system of
the refrigerator. Position any electrical wiring within the
refrigerator enclosure opposite the burner side of the
refrigerator. Failure to correctly position electrical wiring
can result in electrical shock or fire.

Connect the 120 volts AC supply:

!
WARNING:
Connect the AC power cord only to a
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the
round ground prong from the power cord. Do not use
a two-prong adapter or an extension cord. Operation
of the refrigerator without a correct ground could cause
dangerous electrical shock or death if you are touching the
metal parts of the refrigerator or the vehicle.
Put the AC power cord into a grounded three-prong receptacle.
Make sure the power cord does not touch the burner cover, the
flue pipe, or any hot component that could damage the insulation
of the power cord.

Connect the 12 volts DC supply:

1. Install a fuse between the battery and the refrigerator, as close
to the battery as possible.
2. Determine the min. wire size and the max. fuse size to use:
!
WARNING:
If you use an incorrect wire size and/or fuse
size, electrical fires can result.
- Measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the
refrigerator:
- If the distance is 0 - 20 feet, use a minimum of 12 AWG
wire and a maximum 20 amp fuse.
- If the distance is more than 20 feet, use a minimum of
10 AWG wire and a maximum 30 amp fuse.
- If the wire size is larger than the min. size , use the correct
fuse per RVIA A119.2 standard or local codes.
3. Connect the DC positive wire from the battery to positive lead
(+) of the terminal block of the refrigerator.
4. Connect the DC negative wire from the battery to the negative
lead (-) of the terminal block of the refrigerator.
5. Do not use the chassis of frame of the vehicle as one of the
conductors.
- Connect the DC supply wires at the battery and route them
to the refrigerator.
