Setup and Installation
Placement
Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting its weight (approximately 73 pounds). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to allow for proper heat dissipation. Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 inches (5 cm) from walls or other objects on all sides and the top.
Electrical Connection
This refrigerator operates on a 12-volt DC power supply. Connect the refrigerator directly to a dedicated 12V circuit with appropriate fusing. Ensure the polarity is correct (positive to positive, negative to negative) to prevent damage to the unit.
Door Hinge Reversal
The refrigerator features a changeable door design, allowing the hinge to be reversed to accommodate various RV layouts. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the manufacturer's supplementary guide for specific instructions on reversing the door hinge. This process typically involves removing the top hinge, transferring the door, and reattaching the hinge components to the opposite side.

Operating Instructions
Initial Startup
After installation and connection to power, allow the refrigerator to stand for at least 2 hours before turning it on. This allows refrigerants to settle. Once powered on, the unit is designed to cool to its set temperature in under an hour.
Temperature Control
The temperature control dial is typically located inside the refrigerator compartment. Rotate the dial to adjust the cooling intensity. A higher number usually indicates a colder setting. Start with a medium setting and adjust as needed based on ambient temperature and food load.
Adjustable Shelves
The refrigerator is equipped with high-quality adjustable glass shelves. To adjust, carefully lift the shelf and slide it out. Reinsert into the desired slots, ensuring it is securely seated before placing items on it.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Interior: Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner to maintain its finish. Avoid getting water into electrical components.
Defrosting
This refrigerator features an automatic defrost system, minimizing the need for manual defrosting. If ice buildup occurs in the freezer compartment, it will typically melt and drain automatically. Ensure the drain hole (if present) is not blocked.
Long-Term Storage
If the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period, unplug it, empty all contents, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
