Q for all the 12V guru's out there...

I purchased a 10A DC panel meter(as recommended by a 12yo sales assistant in a major electronics chain) today to measure the draw of my 110L Waeco... So knowing next to nothing about such things, but willing to learn, I embark on my journey of discovery only to be stopped before I even leave the port...

I was of the understanding that the ammeter would go in-line on the positive wire to the fridge... When I opened up my little parcel and looked at the terminals on the back, one is marked "+" and the other "-". So I cut my wires and installed the meter across both wires as indicated, "pop" blow a fuse in the lead... So before i do some real damage, does anyone know how exactly this thing should be installed...???
