WARNING!

Ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected from the mains before installing and adjusting accessories.

Select an ideal installation place

Keep an appropriate distance between the refrigerator and surrounding objects. Ensure at all times that there is a minimum of 2 in (50 mm) ventilation gap on all four sides of the refrigerator. If the gap with the surrounding is too small, it will inhibit the refrigerator from dissipating heat energy, resulting in a decrease in refrigeration capacity and an increase in power consumption.
Install the refrigerator in a dry and well-ventilated place. Try to avoid direct sunlight on the refrigerator.

• If the ambient temperature is too high, the refrigeration capacity of the refrigerator may decrease and the power consumption may increase.
• If the refrigerator is installed in a place with excessive gas or smoke, the surface of the refrigerator will have a color change

Set the refrigerator steady

• When installing the refrigerator on the carpet or floor, please put a solid pad underneath to prevent discoloration. Please do not directly use the bottom tray that is placed under the refrigerator upon factory delivery.
• Unstable installation will cause vibration and noise.
• The anti-tilt angle of this product is 30°. When the tilt angle is greater than 30°, the anti-fall protection will be activated.

Clean and install accessories

• Clean any dust accumulated during transportation of the refrigerator.
• Install accessories at the appropriate positions in the refrigerator, such as telescopic handle (optional), wheels (optional), EFBX100-EB battery pack (optional), basket, temperature zone divider.

Installing the wheels (optional)

Installing Detachable Telescopic Handle (optional)

Making Ice Cubes

1. It is recommended to clean the ice maker and ice container every time ice is made. (see Care and Maintenance part)
2. Press the PUSH button on the ice maker to open the lid, then fill portable water into the ice maker. The water level should not be lower than the minimum scale line (MIN) or exceed the maximum scale line (MAX). Confirm that the ice container is in place. Otherwise, the LCD will prompt that the ice container is missing and the ice maker cannot work.

Close the lid , then short press the ice making button, and the ice cube icon will flash, finally short press the ice making button again to select large ice/small ice, after 5 seconds with no operation, ice making will start: the ring icon will start to rotate and the screen will show the current time needed for ice making, a single ice making time is 8-20 minutes at room temperature (water temperature <30°C (86°F)). Before starting ice making, you can press the ice detaching button to cancel ice making operation, or press it to manually detach ice from bullet-head-shaped component of the ice maker for access to ice cubes after starting ice making.
4. When the ice making is finished, there is a beeping sound and the Ecoflow APP prompts as well, then open the lid, lift one end of the ice container and then the other end, now enjoy the ice.

NOTICE

1. Fill with potable water only. It is recommended to use cold water instead of hot water. Otherwise, it will increase power consumption. If the water temperature exceeds 50°C, the ice maker cannot work.
2. It is recommended to clean the ice maker regularly to prevent odor.
3. A single filling of water to the maximum scale line will satisfy approximately 4 ice making sessions.
4. When making ice multiple times in a row, there will be a certain degree of temperature increase in single/dual zones.
5. When connecting to the 12V car charging supply, the refrigerator must be connected to the EFBX100-EB battery pack for ice making.
   
   
   

• It is recommended you store the ice cubes in the single/dual zone.
• During the ice making process, you can still select large/small ice cubes by short pressing the ice making button.
• Ice making will increase power consumption. Do not turn on ice making if you do not need it.
• When the ice maker is not in use for a long period, clean and dry the internal components of the ice maker to prevent mildew.
• The ice maker is disabled in factory settings.

Precautions

Fridge mode

1. The fridge mode is used to store food that should not be frozen and have a short storage period. It is suitable for storing fresh food rather than food that is perishable at low temperatures.
2.  Hot food should be cooled before putting into the refrigerator. Otherwise, the temperature in the refrigerator will rise, affecting the freshness of other food and increasing the power consumption.
3. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently. Otherwise, the temperature inside the refrigerator will rise. Do not store too much food in the refrigerator. Otherwise, the refrigerator door cannot close.
4. Please use plastic wrap or plastic bag to seal the container or use a covered container to store food, which can avoid the evaporation of food moisture, preserve the flavor and nutrition of food, and reduce the odor inside the refrigerator.

Freezer mode

WARNING

1. The freezer mode is used to store frozen food with a long storage period. It is suitable for frozen food such as meat, sausage, poultry, and fish.
2. Do not put bottles into the freezer to prevent the contents of the bottles from freezing and causing the bottle body to rupture and cause injuries.
3. Do not put thawed food into the freezer, which may make the food lose the taste and nutrition.
4. Do not directly touch the interior of the freezer or metal containers with wet hands. Otherwise, it may cause frostbite.

Care and Maintenance

How to Remove and Clean Internal Parts

WARNING

1. Please disconnect all power before cleaning to ensure safet
2. After cleaning the refrigerator, install the disassembled parts back in reverse order. Do not use excessive force when disassembling the parts to prevent damage.
3. Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a neutral detergent. Do not use cleaning powder, benzene, hydrochloric acid, hot water, rough brushes, abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects to clean the refrigerator. Otherwise, it will damage or corrode the refrigerator.
4. Regularly clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator with a damp cloth.
5. Never clean the device under running water or immerse it in water.
6. Ensure that the air inlets and outlets on the refrigerator are free of any dust and dirt for good ventilation.
7. After cleaning, please check whether the power cable is damaged or wet, and whether the power plug is overheated. You can plug in the power supply only after confirming that everything is normal.
8. Before plugging in the power supply, please use a soft dry cloth or sponge to dry any moisture to avoid water or other liquids remaining in the electrical components, to avoid electric shock or short circuit.

Drainage

Single/dual zone drainage

Ice maker drainage

Defrosting

Moisture can form frost inside the refrigerator or on the evaporator. This will reduce refrigeration capacity. Please defrost the refrigerator to avoid such situations.

NOTICE

• Do not use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or loosen frozen items.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other methods not recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.

1. Take out all items from the refrigerator.
2. Chill them in another refrigerator if necessary.
3. Turn off the refrigerator.
4. Leave the refrigerator door open.
5. Use a clean rag to wipe off any water stains.
