SAVING ENERGY TIPS

  • Make sure leave enough space to ventilating.
  • Deforest the appliance once a layer of ice forms.
  • Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the freezer to keep cool.

HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR

Connecting with 12V or 24V

  • Connect the feeding cable to a direct current 12/24V DC power source.
  • Make sure the polarity is right.
  • If connected to an existing cigarette plug, please carefully check-up that the power supply is sufficient.
  • If the supplied power cable is not used, please see the table containing the information related to the cable section:

The Fridge/Freezer is designed to operate on DC voltage inputs.

DC input 12V or 24V
DC cable 2.5m,16AWG

Connecting with 110-240V

  • FC12/20 could connect with 110-240V via AC adapter.
  • The coolers have an integrated multi-voltage power supply with a priority circuit for connecting to an AC voltage source of 110-240V. The priority circuit automatically switches the cooler to mains operation, if the device is connected to a 120/240V AC mains, even if the 12/24V connection cable is still attached. In order to protect the freezer and cigarette socket, we suggest use with one power supply.
BATTERY PROTECTION MODE

In the standby status, long press “on/off” and “setting” buttons at the same time for 3 seconds to enter the battery protection setting menu. Press “+” and “–” to adjust the level, “- -” refer to the low mode, “= =” refer to the middle mode, and “≡ ≡” refer to the high mode.

FILLING

Do not put hot food items into the refrigerator. Place the products in such a way as to avoid them hitting against each other or breaking because of the movement of the vehicle. Make sure that the lid is always well closed and open it for as short a time as possible.

DEFROSTING

  • Defrosting is needed when the layer of frost is thicker than 4 mm. To carry out this operation, turn off the refrigerator.
  • Do not use sharp or cutting tools to remove the layer of frost or ice. Wait until complete unfreezing and then turn on again.

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance operation on the refrigerator, take the power cable out of its socket.
