Safety Precautions

Caution

1. If the power cord is damaged, please replace it immediately and do not touch the damaged power cord directly with your hands. It is very dangerous!
2. Don’t touch the fridge plug when your hand is wet or your feet in water, it is very dangerous!

Attention

1. Don’t use any electronic product in fridge.
2. Please refer to the rated voltage of fridge specification sticker and make sure fridge connect to a corrected voltage power.
3. Don’t put the water into the fridge directly.
4. Don’t disassemble the refrigerator or modify the refrigerator without permission.

Precautions for use：

1. The refrigerator needs to be well ventilated to facilitate heat dissipation, so there needs to be a certain space around the refrigerator, and a minimum of 10 cm is reserved around the refrigerator.
2. Avoid using the refrigerator in a place with high humidity, reduce the chance of rusting metal parts, and do not directly wash it with water, which may cause leakage.
3. Avoid the refrigerator near heat and direct sunlight.
4. Don’t use corrosive liquids in refrigerators.
5. Please disconnect the power supply if don’t use the fridge for a long time.

Battery protection

When using DC power supply 12/24V, the refrigerator electronic system has the power protection function of the automatic control compressor system. When the input voltage reaches the minimum limit, the system will automatically cut off the compressor to protect the battery from excessive consumption; when the voltage returns to normal, the compressor will automatically operate normally. The fridge has 3 levels of battery protection:

12V DC

24V DC

Test running

1. The refrigerator can be directly connected to the 12/24V DC power supply. Plug the 12/24V cable into the DC socket of the refrigerator, plug the other end of the power cord into the car power socket or other DC 12/24V socket, and ensure the power supply is stable. If the voltage is unstable, the refrigerator will not run.
2. Connect the power supply, set the temperature to -20℃ and check the display. After 30 minutes, open the door and check the internal surface. If the inner surface is cold, it means the refrigerator working normally
