• Before powering on the fridge, ensure the power cord and plug are dry,
• Before powering on, check whether the voltage specification on the energy supply matches that of the fridge.
• Before powering on for the first time, ensure that the fridge has been left flat for 12 hours. (Condition: door opens at the top.)
• Ensure that the fridge stays horizontal when it is running. The tilt angle must be less than 5° for long-term work and less than 45° for short-term work.
• The fridge must be well-ventilated to allow for heat dissipation and ensure that there is space around the cooling vents. (Back space27.9 in, side space23.9 in)
• The fridge can only be repaired by qualified personnel. Improper repairs may lead to safety hazards. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, customer service, or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent safety hazards.

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

The BougeRV fridge is equipped with a battery preservation monitor. It has 3 settings to monitor your battery to prevent a full discharge. The higher level you set, the higher the cut-off voltage will be. When the vehicle battery’s voltage drops to the below setting, the fridge compressor will automatically turn off.

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

NOTE: Cut-out is the input voltage in which the fridge will turn off. Cut-in is the input voltage in which the fridge will turn on.

• When the fridge is powered by a vehicle starter battery, High Mode is recommended.
• When the fridge is powered by an additional battery(portable power station, solar panel), High Mode is recommended.

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

correctly or not (the plug is loose, positive and negative poles are reversed, etc.).
• Check whether the refrigerator is turned on.
• Check whether the cooling ventilation is normal.
• Check whether the fuse is blown.
Not Cooling Sufficiently| • Check whether the fridge door is closed properly.
• Check whether the door seal is damaged or deformed, resulting in unsealed.
• Check whether the heat dissipation and ventilation are working normally.
• Check whether the temperature setting is proper.
Abnormal Noise| • Some noises are normal.
• Check whether the refrigerator is placed stably.
• Check whether the refrigerator hit the wall or other items.
• Check whether the internal part in the compressor compartment is loose or fell off.
Abnormal Noise| When the ambient air humidity is >75%, a slight frost will occur on the surface of the cabinet, which is a normal phenomenon.
Temperature Fluctuation| • It is normal for the temperature to fluctuate within a certain range(±9°F).
• It is normal for the temperature measured by yourself to be 6°F higher than the displayed temperature.
• If the temperature does not drop over time , please adjust to the lowest temperature and allow the refrigerator to take longer to cool.
• Please try to touch the inner wall of the refrigerator with your hand, if you can feel the coldness obviously, it indicates that the refrigerator refrigeration is normal.

The definition of the error code on the display

is too low.
Solution: Adjust the battery protection level to “Medium” or “Low” level. Wait for 3-5 mins to let the refrigerator reset itself.
If the fridge still does not start properly, Please use the AC power cord to run the refrigerator.
2. Scenario two: Insert the refrigerator power cord into the car cigar lighter when the car doesn’t start. Solution: Connect the refrigerator later after the car starts.
E2| Fan Problem| Please replace a new fan when you confirm the fan malfunction. Contact us and we will send you a new fan for replacement.
E3| Compressor Start up frequently
Input voltage fault| 1. Scenario one: E3 appears when using the fridge in the car.

Cleaning and Maintenance

■ Cleaning

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

■ Storage
If the fridge 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 fridge.
• 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 fridge 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 fridge promptly to avoid this.

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

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

FAQ

Is there a cover for this refrigerator?

Yes, there is. You could search for bougerv 23/30 quart fridge cover on Amazon.

Q2: Does it come with a battery installed?

No, this refrigerator does not come with a battery. Our batteries are sold separately.

Will it work standing on end?

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.

Can the fridge be used to sit on for extra seating?

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.

What's the outside temperature range this can be safely used?

Temperature range: 50°F~122 °F.

Does the fridge have to be plugged in for use?

Yes, it has to be plugged.

If the power is temporarily interrupted, will the unit automatically resume work when the power is restored(if nobody is there to turn it back on)?

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.

Does the temperature fluctuate a lot?

Not much, within the range of industry standards. The working mode of the refrigerator is cyclic work, that is, after it 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.

How long can it continuously be run safetly?

As long as the power supply is maintained, our portable refrigerators can work 24 hours/day, just like home refrigerators.

Is it normal for the refrigerator to have condensation water? Why?

Yes, it is normal. Because 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.

Will it keep ice cream frozen?

Yes. By setting the temperature below 0°F, you can keep the ice cream frozen.

Can I make ice with ice cube trays?

Yes. The internal temperature of this portable refrigerator is adjustable from -8°F to 68°F. You can get ice cubes by setting the temperature below 32°F.

Can I get a replacement if my accessory is missing/broken?

Sure, we provide a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.
