Using the refrigerator
NOTE
I
Always connect the refrigerator to the rectifier. Otherwise the prior-
ity circuit for the refrigerator will be disabled.
The priority circuit reduces the load on a connected battery by the
rectifier always switching to mains operation if AC power is con-
nected.
Proceed as follows when you connect the refrigerator to the AC supply:
➤ Fix the rectifier as shown in the location foreseen, behind the refrigerator
(fig. g, page 10).
➤ Protect the AC circuit using a slow-blow fuse (250 V/4 A).
➤ Connect the power cable to the AC power supply.
➤ Plug in the connecting cable to the AC socket (fig. g 1,page 10).
Proceed as follows when you connect the refrigerator to a DC supply when
a rectifier is fitted:
➤ Connect the loose DC cable (fig. g 2, page 10) to the battery:
– Red cable: positive battery terminal
– Black cable: negative battery terminal
