IMPORTANT

This refrigerator is designed to operate on power supply limits as follows:

120 volt AC operation: 132 volts max., 108 volts min. 12 volt DC operation: 15.4 volts max., 12 volts min.

Operation on power supplies exceedin

INSTALLATION

y (

(

)

In preparing the DE-704D for installation, the following areas

should be considered:

Adequate ventilation. Sizing of supply wire and fuse protection.

2. Direct wiring from battery to avoid electrical interference

with other equipment.

Provisions to prevent battery run-down. Provide correct voltage and frequency for AC operation.

5. Proper grounding to prevent electrolysis for marine applica-

tions.
