Safety Requirements for Installation:
The operating voltage should comply with the
voltage specified in the label of the microwave oven
type attached to the back of the appliance.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a capacitor.
To remove or relocate the appliance, take the
battery out and wait for about 20 seconds, and
then disconnect the power cable connections.
If the power cable is disconnected too soon, it
may cause an electrical short circuit and
discharge (spark).
The operating voltage should comply with the
voltage specified in the microwave oven type label
on the back of the appliance.
It is a good idea to install an additional safety fuse
to a positive(+) power cable. If the connection power
cable is damaged or causes a short circuit,
it means that the safety fuse can no longer prevent
the appliance from being damaged (cable fire). The
safety fuse should be installed as close to the
battery as possible.
If the electrical cabling is not performed properly, it
may cause an electrical short circuit, resulting in the
following:
• Power cable may catch fire.
• Airbag may burst.
• Controller may work improperly.
• An electrical component may malfunction. (Signal
lamp, Brake lamp, Horn, Ignition, Lighting, etc.).
To eliminate the danger of an electrical short circuit,
always disconnect and isolate the battery negative
terminal before using an electrical device in the
vehicle. Also, in the case of a vehicle equipped with
an additional battery, disconnect and isolate the
negative(-) battery power cable.
Precaution
When disconnecting and isolating the
negative battery power cable, all the data
stored in the memory of the vehicle's system
will disappear.
Depending on equipment included in your vehicle,
you may have to enter the following data again:
Ex) Vehicle audio password, vehicle clock, seat
location, panel computer, and time switch.
Electrical Wiring
Connection Power Cable
• Do not pull the power cable forcibly.
• Do not connect to a power supply other than 12V.
• Comply with the minimum diameter of the power
cable as specified in the manual.
• Fasten the power cable properly.
• Install the power cable properly to prevent
tripping over it.
• Install the power cable properly to prevent
damage.
• Use one red (positive/+)and one black(negative/-)
power cable to avoid confusion.
Battery
WARNING
• Improper connection of power cable wires
(+,- polarity) causes the main fuse or safety
fuse to disconnect in the microwave oven.
Be sure to connect +, - polarity in the proper
way.
• Connect the power cable securely.
If not, the oven may not function correctly and could
cause damage to the vehicle.
Be sure to connect the cable with proper torque
(30~50kg.cm)
Connect the oven to the user’s battery (a secondary
battery) if possible. Connecting to the starter battery
may overload the appliance, which in turn may
cause the engine to not turn over.
• Make sure there is sufficient Battery
Capacity. The battery capacity should be at
least 90Ah for 12V operating voltage.
Power Cable Size and Power Cable Length
For a 3m wire, the size should be a minimum
22mm
2
(4AWG) for 12V of operating voltage.
For a power cable more than 3m in length, the size
must be larger in order to reduce the voltage drop.
If the voltage drop is too much, the oven may not
operate properly.
• If you have used the microwave oven for longer
than 10 minutes, keep your vehicle’s engine
running for 2~3 minutes to avoid battery drain.
