●
For best and most efficient operation, the refrigerator
should operate within 50°F ~ 109°F (10°C ~ 43°C). If
installing near large heat sources, such as furnaces,
fireplaces, etc. Ensure a thermal barrier, such as wood
paneling, isolates the refrigerator space as not to hinder
performance of the appliance.
Refrigerator Cabinet/Enclosure Preparation
●
Position the appliance away from sources of heat such as
stoves, radiators, direct sunlight, direct weather such as
rain, etc.

BLOCKS!
●
The unit shall be kept away from damp locations where
water is present. Water or dirt should be removed from
any surface of the unit as soon as possible using a soft
cloth. This will help prevent rust and will help your unit run
at peak efficiency.
●
Keep the refrigerator away from heat source or direct
sunlight.
Electrical Connection
WARNING
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should
be carried out by a qualified or competent person.
All Furrion products referenced in this manual is to be
installed in accordance with local and national codes,
including the latest editions of the following standards:
USA:
– NFPA 1192
– NFPA 70
– ANSI/RVIA low Voltage
Canada:
– C22.1
– CSA Z240
The appliance is powered by Nominal DC 12V and must be
supplied at SAFETY EXTRA-LOW VOLTAGE circuit, a listed
power converter that conforms to UL 458 and/or C22.2 No.
107.1 is required.
Circuit Wiring Based on Voltage Drop:
Circuit wiring, gauge (AWG), length, and routing is to be
determined by the installer. It must not exceed a voltage drop
at the appliance of more than 0.4V DC.

NOTE: Dimensions
include the required
clearance for venting
To Measure:
Start the appliance from warm, isolate and measure the
voltage difference between each DC12V power source(s)
and the appliance connection. If the Voltage drop exceeds
0.4V DC the length of wire should be shortened, and/or Wire
gauge (AWG) increased.
Circuit Rating: Min 20Amp, Max 40Amp. Do not share circuit
with any other utilization equipment.
NOTE: The circuit must be fused appropriately for the wire
gauge (AWG) used, within 18" of the DC 12V power source.
Only a single blow fuse or manual resettable breaker is
allowed, auto-resetting breakers must not be used. Do not
add an additional fuse to the pigtail end of the appliance.
The following is a starting guideline for wire sizing and should
be adjusted based on actual voltage drop:
●
15ft or less = 10AWG
●
15ft to 25ft = 8AWG
●
25ft to 40ft = 6AWG
Installation Tips
●
Voltage drop can be reduced by terminating the -12V
(white) lead directly to the vehicle chassis.
●
-12V (white) and Ground (Green) leads can be combined
at the appliance or individually terminated.
Ground (Green)
-12V (White)
+12V (Red)
●
Enter supply wire into the cabinet space. It is acceptable
to enter through the cabinet floor, sidewall, backwall or
ceiling. Ensure that the wire enters within the free cabinet
space behind the refrigerator.
●
Furrion recommends dropping the 12V supply wire from
the upper ceiling or upper rear wall. Temporarily affix the
wires to the upper half of the appliance with tape so that
excess wire will droop without risk of rubbing with the
appliance chassis and floor during installation.
