• Connect to 110-240V AC power (use a home outlet or AC outlet of a power station)

Display Screen Initialization
When the refrigerator is powered on, you will hear a “BEEP” sound, and the display will flash once, and then nothing will be displayed. This means that the refrigerator is at the standby status.
(Note: When the refrigerator is at the standby status, you can’t operate it until the refrigerator is turned on)

Turn On/Off: Press for one time to turn on the refrigerator when it is at the standby status.
Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn off the refrigerator.

Temperature Setting

• In working status, press for temperature setting. The setting will be saved automatically after stopping operating for 4 seconds.
• If you keep holding the button, the temperature will be adjusted fastly.
• (Note: the temperature displayed is the current temperature of the compartment. The refrigerator will take a while to reach the set temperature.)
  • Temperature setting range: – 22~+10°C (-8~50°F)

MAX/ECO Mode Switching

• In working status, press one time, and the “MAX/ECO” will flash.
• Then press again, and you can switch to MAX or ECO working mode.
• If you stop the operation for 3 seconds, it will automatically confirm the mode you are going to switch to.
  • ECO: Energy Saving Mode, 36 watts.
  • MAX: Fasting Cooling Mode, 45 watts.

Temperature Unit Switch
In working status, press at the same time for 3-5 seconds to switch Celsius °C)/Fahrenheit(F). (Factory setting is °F).

Car Battery Protection Setting H→M→L

• Battery Protection Setting
• In working status, long press until the “H” flashes, and then press to switch the HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW levels.
• It is suggested to set a HIGH level of the fridge when connecting with a car battery.
• Set MEDIUM and LOW levels when with a power station or other batteries. (Factory setting is H)

This car refrigerator has a power-off memory function, and the working state (power on/off state and working mode) before the power off is automatically restored after the next power on, and there is no need to set it again.

Car Battery Protection(H/M/L) Voltage Reference

The BougeRV refrigerator is equipped with a battery preservation monitor. It has three settings to monitor your battery to prevent a full discharge. The higher level you set, the higher the cut-off voltage will be.

• When you set it to HIGH, the battery monitor will provide maximum protection for the battery running the refrigerator against excessive/full discharge.
• When you set it to LOW, the battery monitor will allow the refrigerator to continually consume the car battery energy, even if the battery voltage is low and the car cannot be turned on.

Voltage

| Factory default voltage protection level sets to H Mode
---|---
High mode| Medium Mode| Low mode
12V DC| Cut out| 11.3V| 10.lV| 9.6V
Cut in| 12.SV| 11.4V| 10.9V
24VDC| Cut out| 24.6V| 22.3V| 21.3V
Cut in| 26.0V| 23.7V| 22.7V
NOTE: Cut-out is the input voltage in which the refrigerator will turn off. Cut-in is the input voltage in which the refrigerator will turn on.

• The battery monitor will shut off the refrigerator as soon as the supply voltage falls below the set level. The refrigerator will restart after 2 minutes once the cut-in voltage is reached.

The car refrigerator does not work

| •  Check whether the power is connected correctly or not.

(If the plug is loose, positive and negative poles are reversed).

•  Check whether the power switch on the operation panel is turned on.

•  Check the cooling ventilation is normal.

•  Check whether the fuse is blown or not.

Not cooling Sufficiently

| •  Check whether the door is closed.

•  The door cover seal is damaged or deformed and the seal is not strict.

•  Poor ventilation in the car refrigerator cooling.

•  Improper temperature settings.

Abnormal noise

| •  Some noises are normal.

•  The place of the refrigerator is not stable.

•  Internal parts are loose or fall off.

The refrigerator surface condensation

| • When the ambient air humidity is> 75%, the surface of the box will normally have slight condensation.

Temperature fluctuation/ problems

| • It is normal for the temperature to float at a certain range, and it is normal in the range of 5 °c.

• It is normal that the temperature measured by yourself is 3 °C higher than that of the display screen.

• If the temperature does not drop for a long time, please empty the refrigerator, adjust it to the lowest temperature, and let it stay for a longer time.

• Please touch the inner wall of the refrigerator with your hand. If you can feel the cold obviously, there is no problem with the refrigeration of the refriger­ ator.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Unplug the device first to avoid electric shock.
• Use a wet cloth to clean the device and dry it.
• Do not soak the device in water and do not wish it directly.
• Never use abrasive products, detergents, or soaps to clean the refrigerator as these can damage the device.

Storage
If the device will not be in use for a long time, please store it properly.

• Turn off the power and remove the plug.
• Remove all the items stored in the device.
• Wipe off excess water from the fridge with a soft rag. Always make sure the inside of the refrigerator is dry before you store it.
• Place the device in a cool and dry place.
• Leave the lid slightly open to prevent odors from forming.

Defrosting
Frost may form inside the cooling device or on the evaporator, and this can reduce the cooling capacity. Defrost the device promptly to avoid this.

• Disconnect the power supply of the device.
• Take out all the items.
• Keep the lid open.
• Wipe off the defrosted water.

WARNING: DO NOT use hard, sharp, or pointed objects to remove the frost or use AA to help you remove the frozen items. This may cause irreparable damage to the cooling system.

FAQ

• Ql: Is there a cover for this refrigerator?
  A: Yes, there is. You could search for Bougerv CRPRO 21/26/30 quart fridge cover on Amazon.

• Q2: Does it come with a battery installed?
  A2: No, this refrigerator does not come with a battery. If needed, you could search BougeRV 220Wh Portable Power Station on Amazon.

• Q3: Will it work standing on end?
  A3: No, please do not run it on its side. This refrigerator contains refrigerant. If it runs on the side, the cooling efficiency will be affected and may cause malfunctions.

• Q4: Can the fridge be used to sit on for extra seating?
  A4: We do not recommend doing this. Because the perimeter of the refrigerator is filled with foam(for heat retention) rather than solid plastic, prolonged exposure to weight may deform it.

• QS: What’s the outside temperature range this can be safely used?
  AS: Temperature range: 50° F~122 ° F.

• QG: Does the fridge have to be plugged in for use?
  A6: Yes, it has to be plugged.

• Q7: If the power is temporarily interrupted, will the unit automatically resume working when the power is restored(if nobody is there to turn it back on)?
  A7: Yes, it will. This refrigerator has a power-off memory function, which means when the power is restored, the freezer will return to its previous working state and you do not have to re-set the temp.

• Q8: Does the temperature fluctuate a lot?
  A8: Not much, within the range of industry standards. The working mode of the refrigerator is cyclic work, that is, after the compressor reaches the set temperature, it stops working for about 10 minutes, and the temperature rises by about 3-5°C. Then, the refrigerator will work again for about 15 minutes and the temperature will drop to the set temperature again.

• Q9: How long can you continuously run the unit without shutting it off? Will long-term use degrade the performance?
  A9: The refrigerator can run uninterruptedly because of the refrigeration mode in which the refrigerator will stop cooling after reaching the specified temperature, resting intermit- tently for a period of time, and when the temperature rises, it will continue to cool.

• Q10: Is it normal for the refrigerator to have condensation water? Why?
  A10: Yes, it is normal. When the air humidity is greater than 75%, there may be slight condensation on the surface of the refrigerator; the higher the humidity, the higher the probability of occurrence, which is a normal phenomenon.

• Q11: Will it keep ice cream frozen?
  A11: Yes. By setting the temperature below 0°F, you can keep the ice cream frozen.

• Q12: Can I make ice with ice cube trays?
  A12: Yes. The internal temperature of this portable refrigerator is adjustable from – 8ºF to 50°F. You can get ice cubes by setting the temperature below 32°F.

• Q13: Can I get a replacement if some part of my refrigerator is broken?
  A13: Sure, we provide a 2-year warranty.
