OPERATION
This fridge/freezer can be powered using either DC 12V/24V power or AC 240V
power.
Using DC 12V/24V Connection
- Connect the DC power cord into the power input port on the fridge.
- Insert the DC power cord into a 12V/24V socket (cigarette lighter).
Using AC 240V Connection
- Connect the AC power cord into the power input port on the fridge.
- Connect the AC power cord into a 240V electrical outlet.
Battery protection
Select Low, Med or High positions on the Battery protection switch (next to
the power input), to select different levels of battery protection. In the
below table you can find the voltages when the compressor stops running (cut-
out) and when the compressor restarts (cut-in) for each of the levels.
Battery protection | 12V cut-out | 12V cut-in | 24V cut-out | 24V cut-in |
---|---|---|---|---|
Low | 10.2±0.3V | 11.2±0.3V | 21.6±0.3V | 23.0±0.3V |
Med | 10.7±0.3V | 11.7±0.3V | 22.6±0.3V | 24.0±0.3V |
High | 11.7±0.3V | 12.7±0.3V | 24.6±0.3V | 26.0±0.3V |
Turning the Fridge On/Off
- Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn the fridge on. The fridge will enter standby mode.
- The LED display on the control panel will turn on and the interior temperature is displayed. The compressor will delay starting for 3 minutes and the Power indicator will turn green.
- Press and hold the power button for another 5 seconds will turn the fridge off.
Temperature Setting (range: -18˚C to 10˚C)
-
Press the increase button (p) or decrease (q) button to adjust the temperature.
-
Press the Set button, to switches between ˚C and ˚F.
-
Press the Set button to enter the economic running mode, the mode indicator will turn green. Press the Set button again and the unit will enter the maximum running mode.
The mode indicator will turn red.- Economic mode runs the compressor at a lower speed to save power
- maximum mode runs the compressor at a higher speed increasing power usage
-
Maximum mode is useful if the ambient temperature is over 30ºC or fast cooling is required.
-
If the power source is cut off or disconnected, the unit will switch off automatically and once the power is restored it will automatically switch back on with the same setting.
CLEANING & CARE
- Clean the appliance inside and out with a clean damp cloth every week. If it is dirty, use sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water to clean the unit.
- Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap.
- After cleaning, wipe out with a clean damp cloth and dry carefully.
- Do not store food items inside the fridge if the fridge is not in operation.
- Clean the inside and close the lid when it’s not in use.
- Never clean the unit under running water or in a dishwasher.
- Do not use sharp objects during cleaning as these can damage the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The fridge is not turning on. | • Check whether the unit has been turned on. |
• Check the power supply (try a different power source, i.e. a different
vehicle or electrical outlet).
• Check whether the plug and the socket have a good connection.
• Check whether the fuse has been burned out or blown.
Poor refrigeration performance.| • Check whether the unit has been turned on.
• Check the power supply (try a different power source, i.e. a different
vehicle or electrical outlet).
• Check whether the plug and the socket have a good connection.
• Check whether the fuse has been burned out or blown.
Sound of running water from inside the
unit.| This is normal and is due to the flow of refrigerant in the unit.
Unusual noise during operation.| The refrigerator is not placed on a level
surface.
Error Codes
When the electronic control module of compressor malfunctions, the LED display
will show ER1, ER2, ER3, ER4, ER5 and compressor will stop working. After
rectifying the fault, please wait for 3 minutes before starting the operation.
When an NTC (temperature sensor) failure is detected, the LED display shows
ER0 and ER9 and after rectifying the fault, the display will show the internal
temperature again.
Error Code | Problems | Solution |
---|---|---|
ER0 | Temperature sensor short circuit (atthis point the compressor enters a |
regular operating mode, (i.e.,) worksfor 30 minutes then stops for 30
minutes).| Change the temperature sensor
line.
ER1| Input under-voltage protection| • Change the battery.
• Check the lower battery protection switch.
ER2| DC fan over-current protection| Change the fan.
ER3| Compressor start-up problem| Interrupt power and keep it idle for 30
minutes and then restart.
ER4| The rotational speed of the compressor is abnormal| Change the main
controller.
ER5| The temperature of the control module is abnormal| Move the fridge in a
cool place, cool the module then restart.
ER9| Temperature sensor opencircuit(at this point the compressor enters a
regular operating mode, works for 30 minutes then stops for 30 minutes.)| •
Tighten the temperature sensor line.
• Change the temperature sensor line.
