1. Connect to a power source.

2. Press the Power button to switch ON. Long press the Power button for three seconds to switch OFF.

3. The internal temperature will be displayed and the compressor will start.

4. SET: Press the SET button (gear icon) to enter different modes, ECO (Energy Saving Mode), and MAX (Fast Cooling Mode). The factory setting is Max.

5. When the power is on and the dual temperature zone is set to valid, press the “+” or “-” button to enter the left zone temperature setting. Then press the SET button (gear icon) to switch to the right box temperature setting. Press “+” or “-” to adjust the temperature for the selected zone.

6. In the power on state, long press the “+” button and the SET button (gear icon) for 3 seconds to turn the left zone on or off. Note: the setting temperature of the left compartment must not be lower than that of the right compartment, and the right compartment cannot be turned off separately.

The main components are:

• Lid latch

• Seal

• Control panel

• Power socket

• Optional removable battery slot

• Power Supply: The refrigerator can be powered by 12V/24V DC power or 100-240V AC using the included adapter.

• Optional Battery: An optional removable Lithium battery can power the fridge if there is no DC/AC connection. When connected to DC/AC power, the fridge will run and simultaneously charge the battery.

• Battery Charging: Connect the fridge to DC, AC, or Solar power and place the battery into the fridge battery case. The battery will charge automatically. The power supply will mainly power the compressor while running, which causes the battery to charge slowly. To charge the battery quickly, turn off the refrigerator. You can also remove the battery and charge it with an optional battery charger from a wall outlet.

Notice: The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped. The fridge must be disconnected from the supply mains when removing the battery, and the battery needs to be disposed of safely.

Warning: Please do not open or disassemble the battery.

Insert the solar charge cable into the refrigerator’s Solar charge interface. The maximum solar input is 50V and 10A.

Checking Charge Status: When the refrigerator is powered ON and DC / AC power is connected, the battery icon on the display screen will flash to show charging. To charge the fridge/freezer battery without running the compressor, simply connect the adapters without powering “ON” the fridge. To view the charging status, press and hold the SET button (gear icon) for 3 seconds. The fridge’s battery status and voltage will be displayed. When the voltage reaches 12.6V and the battery icon stops flashing, the unit is fully charged, and wiring should be disconnected to prevent internal component damage.

No. Do not charge the fridge/freezer with DC12V and a Solar Panel at the same time. The fridge could be seriously damaged and pose a potential hazard to you.

If the fridge has not been used for a long time, the battery may be discharged, and the fridge will not power on. Please use the AC adapter to charge the fridge battery and run the fridge. After the fridge battery has charged up to 30%, you can switch to other methods for charging.

The product has a three-level battery protection function to protect the vehicle’s battery. When in the power-on state, long press the SET button for 3 seconds. The display screen will flash H. Select low voltage protection L(ow), M(edium), and H(igh) by clicking the SET button (gear icon). The factory default is set to H(igh) protection.

• H (High): Should be set when the product is connected to car power.

• M (Medium) or L (Low): Should be set when it is connected to a portable battery or other back-up battery.

Due to different output voltages between vehicles, the battery protection level can be set from H to M or from M to L if a voltage protection code F1 is shown on the panel. The battery protection level should be set to H if the product will keep working after turning off the car engine, or the product may drain the battery.

To make sure your fridge is being charged by a solar panel, please turn the fridge on first. The battery icon will flash on the display screen to show the charging status. The fridge can be turned off while it is being charged. Press and hold the SET button (gear icon) for over 3 seconds to check the battery status and voltage. An extension cable may be required to keep the fridge in a cool place (to avoid overheating) while the solar panel is in the sun. Input power for charging should be higher than the refrigerator power draw (about 40-45w), otherwise the optional battery will not charge at the same time. To ensure that solar charging power is higher than refrigerator working power, a 100-Watt solar panel is advised.

• Optional Removable Battery: The lithium battery is back up power to keep the refrigerator working for short periods while off grid.

• Notice: When not using the battery power or fridge for a long time, please turn off the battery output by holding the setting button for 3 seconds.

• Maintain Battery Charge:

1. Home / Hotel: Use the AC adapter to charge the unit from an AC outlet.

2. Car / Boat: Use the DC port to power the fridge and charge the battery.

3. Outdoor: Charge the battery with an optional solar panel. A portable 12V power system, solar setup, or petrol generator would be a good companion.

• Extended Battery Usage:

1. Cool down the fridge before your journey: It is always suggested to charge the fridge battery and cool the fridge down in advance with the mains to DC adapter from the wall outlet the day before the trip. To prepare for off-grid usage, place food and beverages inside the fridge for cooling the day before. This will not only keep the optional battery more durable but also save energy for outdoor activities once on battery mode.

2. Disconnecting the Battery: The battery can be removed or disconnected with the side button. This prevents the battery from discharging. The product will work from the AC adapter or car outlet without the optional battery installed. Note: Please fully charge the optional battery before putting it into storage for 1 month or more.

For the Freezer section (-4°F~32° F / -20°C~0°C):

1. Meat should be cut and packed properly when placed in the fridge.

2. Do not put fresh food and frozen food together.

3. Do not store glass containers or other containers which seal in liquid in the freezer, to avoid explosion.

For the Refrigerator section (32°F~50° F / 0°C~10°C):

1. Egg, butter, milk and bottled drinks can be stored.

2. All food should be packed appropriately before being stored in the fridge.

3. Place food in the refrigerator after it gets cool in order to save energy.

If the product is not working, check the following:

• If using the 240V AC to 12V DC adapter, check that the power supply is working.

• If using the DC cable, please ensure the cable still works.

• Check that the power supply is working.

• Check if the plug and socket are connected.

• Check the fuse.

• Check that the power switch on the control panel is on.

• The compressor starts with a delay protection for 3 minutes after turning on.

The food inside the product is frozen because the temperature is set too low.

Yes, this is normal. It is the sound of the refrigerant flowing.

When moisture in the air meets the lower temperature case, it will naturally become liquefied and condensed. Wipe it away with a towel or soft cloth.
