3. Description of operation and basic functions

The portable refrigerator is intended for storing fresh food.
Thanks to high-class insulation and an efficient compressor, the cooling process is extremely fast.
The device has two compartments with separate Dual-Zone temperature control.
The fridge can be powered from battery (modular or external), AC 100-240V, DC 12 / 24V or by using solar panel (only with modular battery installed not included)
The modular battery slot allows the installation of the battery inside the device. Battery sold separately.
For battery power, use only compatible batteries offered by the manufacturer. The use of an incompatible or non-original battery may damage the device and void the warranty.
15600mAh battery allows you to maintain the temperature inside the device for up to 3 hours (5°C/41°F at an ambient temperature of 25°C/77°F)
The device has multi-level protection of the vehicle battery against discharge and overvoltage protection to protect against sudden voltage surges in the electrical network.
The control panel with a clear LCD screen enables intuitive control of the device.
The fridge is equipped with a Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter. This allows you to control it using an application designed for mobile devices (Android / iOS).
Built-in USB socket allows you to charge external devices such as a smartphone or tablet.
Telecsopic handles and wheels allow for convenient movement of the device. To extend or hide the telescopic handle, release the brakes on both sides.
Internal wire baskets make it easy to manage the contents of the device.

5. Directions for use

Before first use, remove the device from the packaging, clean the inside of the device with a damp cloth and wait 6 hours.
The device should be in a horizontal position during operation. The maximum angle of inclination of the device relative to the ground should not be more than 5 °.
If the device is used with the ignition off of a motor vehicle (when using a 12 / 24V power source), it switches itself off when the voltage drops below the set battery protection value. The device will turn on again when the required voltage is obtained by charging the battery. The device must be turned off or disconnected from the power source when charging the battery of the vehicle.
The left chamber temperature should not be set lower than the right chamber temperature. This forces the compressor to work continuously, and thus shortens its lifetime.
When using an external battery, it is recommended to change the battery protection mode to low.

To avoid contamination of food, please respekt the following

instructions:

Do not open the appliance lid more often than necessary. This may significantly increase the temperature inside the device.
Foodstuffs should be stored in their original packaging or appropriate containers. Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
Too low or too high temperature may adversely affect the stored food. The temperature inside the refrigerator should be adjusted to the temperature recommended by the food manufacturer.

Optimum storage temperature for fresh food: 0°C – + 4°C.

If the device is left empty for long periods: Switch off the device. Defrost the device. Clean and dry the device. Leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

6. Operating

Warning! Before turning the device on, connect it to a power source or install a charged battery (not included).
Warning! The device will be turned off if its not connected to another power source while the battery is removed.

Before inserting the battery into the device, make sure that its slot is free from dirt and unwanted objects.

Installing and removing the battery from the device

To insert the battery into the device, remove the battery slot cover by pressing its side buttons. Then insert the modular battery into the slot while pressing the side buttons on the battery. After releasing the buttons, make sure that the fastening locks securely hold the battery in the slot. To remove the battery from the device, release the locks by simultaneously pressing the side buttons and then slide it out of the battery slot. After removing the modular battery, it is recommended to reinstall the battery slot cover.

Powering the device using a solar panel (only with modular battery installed – not included)

Warning!

It is prohibited to connect two types of external power source (DC / AC / solar panel) to the device. This may damage the device. When the device is powered by a solar panel, the battery should be in its slot in the device. To power the device with solar energy, connect the solar panel to the DC socket. Solar panel power should be great er than the average energy consumption of the device. To enable simultaneous operation of the device and charging of the battery, it is recommended to use a 100W solar panel.

Changing refrigerator lid direction To change the lid direction, open it and tilt it 90 °, then slide it upwards. The lid should be turned and inserted into the openings in the housing on the opposite side of the device. Before starting the device, make sure that the lid has been installed correctly and that it closes properly.

7. Cleaning and maintenance

Turn off the device and disconnect it from the external power supply before each cleaning.
The device must not be cleaned under running water.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning.
Clean the outside and inside of the device with a damp cloth, bypassing the control panel, power section and ventilation openings.
Manual defrosting

During long-term operation of the device, a layer of frost may appear inside it. This can reduce its performance.
To defrost the device, disconnect it from the power supply, empty the cooling compartment and leave the lid open. After the condensation of the frost
layer, wipe off the remaining water with a soft cloth or drain excess water through the drain hole at the bottom of the cooling chamber. The drain hole is
opened by removing its plug. After finishing the maintenance, put the plug back in the drain hole
