The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas valve at the top of the refrigerator, by means of a suitable threaded coupling. The gas valve is furnished with an ISO 7/1 - Rp 1/8 internal pipe thread connection.
Installation instructions Electrical connection 12 Volts DC Supplies The connection is made to the terminal block marked “12 volts DC” located at the bottom left corner on the back of the refrigerator. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of the connecting wires between battery and refrigerator must be at least 6 mm2. To ensure safe operation, the positive lead must be fitted with a fuse rated at 20 amps. Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the 12 V DC supply.
