• Different cars may have different power output voltages. If the voltage protection causes F1 error showed in the LCD, just set the Portable Power Station protection from H to M or L. If the F1 error is still present, please charge the unit with the adapter for few minutes and normal operation will resume.

• Engine Turned-off: Charging using car battery: Most cars will stop power supply if engine is stopped, but some cars will continue power supply even when engine is stopped. You should adjust the battery protection to H, otherwise, the power of your car battery may run out and it may not have enough power to start car. You can also unplug the car port charger and run the fridge/freezer using its internal Portable Power Station. If you don’t want to use car battery it is recommended to disconnect the car charger from the fridge and turn on Power Station.

Food Storage

• Freezer (-20 °C-0°C):
  • Meat should be cut and wrapped tightly, and then averagely placed inside. After buying frozen food, put it in the freezer at frozen condition.
  • Do not put the fresh food and frozen food together.
  • Do not put the fruit and vegetable in the freezer to avoid freeze-drying.
  • Do not put the glass container or other container with sealed liquid in freezer. Or there is a possibility of explosion.
• Refrigerator (0°C -10°C):
  • Eggs, butter, milk and bottled drink can be put in refrigerator.
  • Fruit and vegetable should be put in bags for moisture retaining.
  • Hot food should be cooled down before it’s placed to save power.
  • Food must be packed into bags. Leaving space between packaged foods to keep the circulation of cool air.

Defrosting

• After the refrigerator has been on for a period, frost could be seen on Inside surfaces in the freezer, which reduces refrigerating effect and increases power consumption. In this case, you need to defrost it
• Unplug the refrigerator and open the doors, take the food in the refrigerator to a cool place. Use defrosting shovel to remove ice and frost (also can just let the door open, then ice and frost will be thawed by the raising temperature). Then use dishtowel to wipe off the ice water. After that, place the food back to the refrigerator and plug in
  Note: Do not use sharp metal tools to defrost which will damage the refrigerator.

Care and Cleaning

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning!Turn off the portable power station
• Use soft cloth dampened with warm water to wipe the inner surfaces and external appearance of the refrigerator

• Do not use cleansers containing corrosive and deliquescent material (such as scouring powder, bleach, soap powder, alkaline cleansers, benzene, gasoline, acid, water, etc.) to clean the appearance panels, door gaskets and parts
  NOTE: Do not sprinkle water on the refrigerator during cleaning because that would reduce the insulating property of electrical components and erode the metal parts

The Following Situations are Normal

• The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound
• In the rain and high humidity weather, moisture may form on the outside of refrigerator or door gaskets. You can wipe damp surfaces with dry cloth
• The temperature on the back panel may be high (particularly in summer) due to the heat emission of the condenser
• The temperature on external surfaces of the compressor may be high when the compressor is working
• The compressor may cause a high hum or pulsating sound when it is at starting or stopping
• It’s normal to hear metal clanking noises from the compressor when the refrigerator is bumped There may be a slight smell coming from the rubber wheels. This is harmless for health
