Product Structure

General Operation Notes

• When using the refrigerator, please place it in a well-ventilated area to facilitate heat dissipation. In particular, the gap between the cooling hole of the compressor and other objects must be larger than 100 mm to prevent high temperatures from causing malfunctions or affecting the cooling effect.
• Do not leave the door open for a long time. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the refrigerator will cause the formation of frost and affect the cooling effect.
• Do not wash the refrigerator under running water.
• Do not use the refrigerator near heat sources, which will reduce the cooling performance of the refrigerator.
• Please place the refrigerator on a flat surface and do not use it on uneven ground for a long time, which may affect the service life of the refrigerator and reduce the cooling efficiency.

Operation Instructions

• Temperature control range: -20 ℃~20 ℃ (-4 ℉~68 ℉)
• Temperature display range: -30 ℃~40 ℃ (-22 ℉~104 ℉)
• Input voltage range: DC 12 V/24 V, the maximum can not exceed DC 30 V

Power On/off

• Connect the refrigerator to the DC 12/24 V power supply.
• If the refrigerator is in standby mode (“OFF” is displayed when you touch the button), you need to press and hold the “ “ button for 3 seconds to turn on the refrigerator, after which the display screen shows the current temperature and working mode.
• After the power-on delay (set at 1 minute when the refrigerator is finished at the factory), the refrigerator will enter the working mode, and the compressor will start to work.
• To turn off the refrigerator, press and hold the “ ” button for 3 seconds when the control panel is unlocked.

Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel

• If the control panel is locked with the child lock icon displayed on the lower right corner of the screen, press and hold the “ ” buttons together for 3 seconds to unlock it.
• When the child lock icon is not displayed on the screen, the control panel is locked automatically if there is no operation in 20 seconds.

Temperature Setting

• When the control panel is unlocked, press the “ ” buttons to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator.
• (The current set temperature is displayed on the screen, and it rises or falls by 1 degree every time you press it.
• You can hold the button to quickly adjust to the desired temperature, and once the display shows your desired temperature, don’t press any buttons, and after 5 seconds, the temperature setting will be automatically saved. )

Operating Mode Setting for the Compressor

• When the control panel is unlocked, press the “ ” button to toggle the operating mode between the ECO and MAX operating modes.
• The MAX operating mode is best used to cool down the temperature rapidly, while the ECO operating mode reduces power consumption in freezer storage and maintains the temperature.

Low Voltage Battery Protection
This unit has an automatic low-voltage battery protection feature that will automatically switch off the compressor if the DC supply voltage drops below the Cut-Out level to prevent overdischarge from damaging the battery or causing the car to fail to start. This is indicated by the “E1” code on the display. The refrigerator will automatically re-start operation in 1 minute when the DC supply voltage comes back up to the Cut-In level. The Cut-Out level is set at “Medium” protection when the refrigerator is finished at the factory. If you want to change it, follow the steps below:

• a: Unlock the control panel.
• b: Press and hold the “ ” button for 6s and release it after hearing the beep sound of the buzzer. Then short press the “ ” button again, and one of the battery protection icons (“L, M, H” or “V-, V＝, V≡”) will flash on the display screen. Then press the “ ” buttons to change the setting.

See the table below:

Note:

• If your refrigerator is cutting out prematurely, it could be due to the low voltage protection being set too high, or your DC supply wiring is not suitable enough to carry the current required.
• Check supply wiring suitability and consider adjusting the battery protection level accordingly.
• To ensure that the car can start normally, it is recommended to set the protection level to “H” (“V≡”) when using the refrigerator in the car.

• It is necessary to disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
• Wipe the inner and outer surfaces of the refrigerator with a cleaning cloth dipped in water or laundry detergent.
• Don’t clean it in water to avoid damaging the electrical components.
• When the refrigerator is not in use for a long time, it is necessary to clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator, keep it dry, and take measures to prevent moisture and dust to avoid mildew and odours inside the refrigerator.

Error Code Information

• When there is an error in the compressor, module, fan, or temperature sensor, or the input voltage is too low, an error code will appear on the display screen and the compressor will stop working.
• When the error is eliminated, the temperature of the refrigerator is displayed after unplugging the power supply and plugging it back in again. After 1 minute, the compressor starts to operate in cooling mode.

The code information is shown in the table below.

E 3| Abnormal start of the compressor| Please disconnect the power and let it stand for 30 minutes
E 4| Abnormal compressor speed| Please adjust the operation mode of the compressor (MAX/ECO)
E 5| Module temperature too high| Please move the refrigerator to a ventilated place to lower the module temperature

Troubleshooting

If the unit does not work

• Check the power supply.
• Check if the voltage is too low.
• Check all the connections from the battery to the refrigerator.
• Check the fuse.
• Check whether the refrigerator is turned on.
• Check whether the temperature has been set too high.

Poor refrigeration performance

• Too much food has been put inside the unit.
• The temperature of the food put inside the fridge is too high.
• The door is not closed properly.
• The door seal is damaged.

There is poor ventilation around the fridge.

• The temperature is not set correctly.
• There is a “water flow” type of noise from inside the unit.
• This is normal and is caused by the flow of refrigerant.
• There is a noise from the unit.
• The unit is not on a flat level surface.
• Check for vibrations in surrounding objects.
• At the moment of starting the compressor, the sound will be a little louder when the motor runs from standstill to high speed. After the speed is stable, the sound will decrease, which is a normal phenomenon.

There are water drops outside of the refrigerator or around the door seal.

• It is normal for moisture in the humid air to liquefy and condense into water drops when it contacts the outside of the refrigerator with a low temperature.
