Get it going on your workbench before you put it in. The inverting for a day may
indeed help and won't harm. Then plug it in and make sure it works on AC
voltage. Try the DC voltage too if you care about it. When it's been cooking on
AC for awhile --- try and light the propane. You can hook up a standard BBQ
tank.
More infor at:  http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/fridge.htm   from listee Frank
Condelli. Make sure the fan on the back fan works too --- and it would also be a
good time to install an additional fan here as many have done.
