FUNCTION AND OPERATION

**Model P8/P15:

Model P18:

**

Power Supply: connect to DC 12V/24V or AC 100-240V power (using dedicated adapter) or solar (12~50V) power supply (only for P8/P18).
Display Screen Initialization: connect to the power supply, the buzzer will make a long beep, and the display will be on for 2 seconds then enter the normal operating mode
Power On/Off: press to switch ON/OFF.
Temperature Setting: press + or for temperature setting, the setting will be saved automatically after stopping operating for 3 seconds (Note: the temperature displayed is the current temperature of the compartment, it’ Il take a while to reach the set temperature.) Temperature setting range: -20~20°C (-4~68°F)
Cooling Mode : under the running state, press (Energy saving Mode). (“Factory setting is MAX.) to switch MAX(fast cooling) and ECO

BATTERY OPERATION (OPTIONAL)

Note: The battery is OPTIONAL, the information below is only for battery type. Model P15 can be used with two detachable batteries and without solar charging, the charging and discharging time of two batteries should be multiplied by 2 based on a single battery. The following information only applies to a single battery.

Battery ON/OFF: long press the power button on the battery to switch ON/OFF. When the battery is OFF, short press the power button to show current battery. 1 2
Battery charging (for reference only):

Wall outlet AC 100~240V (using dedicated adapter)
(Charging time≈8h)

Warning: do not disassemble the battery!

Note: It is suggested to switch off the refrigerator when charging the battery (the power supply may mainly power the compressor when the refrigerator is running).
When connect to a solar panel, please place the refrigerator in a cool place to dissipate heat. The charging input power should be higher than the working power of the refrigerator(about 40-45W), or switch off the refrigerator, otherwise the battery will run out.
It is suggested to use 100W solar panel (only for P8/P18).
MAX Solar Input Voltage: 50V; MAX Solar Input Current:10A.

Note: the output of the solar panel is unstable, so it cannot power the refrigerator directly. When using a solar panel, the battery should be put into the refrigerator.

Discharging time (for reference only): In the low battery protection mode, the battery can last about 4 hours after being fully charged. When the temperature of the refrigerator is set between 2-8°C (ambient temperature 25°C), it can last 12 hours after the internal temperature stabilizes. Remove or switch off the battery to prevent self-discharge when not in use

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning:

Switch off and unplug the device first to avoid electric shock.
Use wet cloth to clean the device and dry it.
Do not soak the fridge in water and do not wash it directly.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents during cleaning as these can damage the device.

Storage

If the device will not be in use for a long time, please follow the instruction:
Switch off and unplug the device.
Take out all the items stored in the device.
Wipe off excess water with a soft rag.
Put the fridge in a cool and dry place.
Leave the lid slightly open to prevent odors from forming.
Recommended storage environment: ambient temperature: 25°C, ambient humidity: ≤ 75%.

Defrosting:
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the evaporator. This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.

Switch off and unplug the device first to avoid electric shock.
Take out all the items stored in the device.
Keep the lid open.
Wipe off the defrosted water. !

Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place.

TOUBLESHOOTING

Issues	Cause/Suggestions
Refrigerator does not work

Check if the switch is on.
Check if the plug and socket are connected well.·
Check if the fuse has been burnt.
Check if the power supply is malfunctioned.
Switch on/off the fridge frequently may cause start delay of the compressor

Refrigerator compartments are too warm|

The refrigerator has been disconnected for a long time.

Food is frozen|

The temperature was set too low.

There is “water flow” noise from Inside the refrigerator|

Its a normal phenomenon, caused by the flow of refrigerant.

There are waterdrops around the refrigerator casing or door gap|

Its a normal phenomenon, the moisture will condense to

water when it touches a cold surface of the refrigerator.

The compressor Is slightly noisy when starting|

It’s a normal phenomenon, the noise will be reduced after the compressor works stably.
