Rechargeable Solar Fridge Freezer
Quick Start Guide
Welcome to LiONCooler – a revolution in battery-powered portable cooling!
Let’s get started with a few important basics. You can find more detailed
information in the full User Manual. Check out our online instructional VIDEOS
which you can find on our website at

LiONCooler solar freezer videos.
Quick Contents Check:
- LiONCooler fridge/freezer
- LiONCooler lithium-ion Battery (comes already inserted into the cooler)
- Power Cords Accessory Kit: AC Wall x1; 12V/24V DC Vehicle x1; Solar x1
- Note: Solar panels to recharge the LiONCooler battery are available as a separate accessory and not included. However, the Solar power cord connector IS included in the power cords accessory kit to help get you started should you choose to expand to an off-grid power solution.
STEP 1. Switching LiONCooler ON/OFF:
The main advantage for new owners of LiONCooler is the ability to power the cooler either plugged into a wall outlet OR “unplugged” in cordless battery mode. Think of it like your smartphone which has a built-in battery so you can ‘go mobile’. Here we will guide you through some simple steps of checking power operation by using either the battery or AC wall socket. (Later in Step 4 we cover powering your cooler in a vehicle using 12/24v sockets).

Cordless Battery Power Mode and Test:
-
Turn ON the Battery.
The battery is neatly slotted into the front face of the LiONCooler. You can perform these functions either with the battery inside the cooler or with the battery removed. Some customers purchase extra spare batteries so this guide step is also useful for testing your spare batteries. The battery has its own independent power button which is located on the front of the battery itself.
Press and hold the battery power button for about 3 seconds. Yellow light
should illuminate and up to 4 blue lights will briefly display to indicate how
fully charged the battery is. The blue lights will go off quite quickly, but
you can check your battery charge level anytime by simply pressing the power
button just once briefly.
Next, let’s show you how to operate LiONCooler using just the battery
without plugging it into a wall outlet.
Once you’ve confirmed the battery has at least some charge (you checked this
above), insert the battery into the cooler and unplug all other cords. You’re
now in ‘cordless ode’. urn the battery power button ON (yellow light) then
turn the LiONCooler power button ON (LED control panel on top of the cooler).
You’re all set to go! Now that you’re in cordless mode’, LiONCooler will run
for as long as the battery lasts (usually 10+ hrs at fridge temperatures; less
if freezing). – see the TIP below for recharging your battery.
- AC Power Mode and Test:
- Turn ON the LiONCooler.
Plug in the AC power cord to a wall outlet. The power button is located on the control panel on top of the cooler. Press and hold the power button on the cooler for about seconds. The LED display will illuminate.
TIP:
In order to recharge the battery, the battery must be switched on (yellow light) and the cooler plugged into a wall outlet. You only really need to turn the battery ON when you are ‘going mobile’ i.e. have no access to a wall outlet OR you need to recharge the battery. Batteries can also be recharged when removed from the cooler by using an external power pack (available as a separate accessory separately).
STEP 2. Fridge or Freezer Temperature Settings:
When the LiONCooler is powered ON and running, press the + or – button on the
control panel to adjust the temperature you want. After that, the control
panel will display the current inside temperature of the cooler. Don’t worry.
The display will gradually change until the cooler reaches your desired
temperature. It’s a good idea to pre-hill the fridge and food/drinks before
setting out on a trip. Just treat it like the fridge in your kitchen.
Temperature setting range: -4℉～68℉（-20℃ ～ +20℃）
STEP 3. Changing Temperature Display – Fahrenheit or Celsius:
With the AC power cord connected to a wall outlet, use the power button and
turn the cooler OFF. Also, turn the battery power button OFF. (See step1 ).
The LED display will e blank BUT you can operate the SETTINGS in this mode.
Press and hold the SETTINGS button (gear wheel) for about 3 seconds. Release
the button when you see a flashing 1 displayed on the screen; briefly press
once and release the SETTINGS button again until E5 is displayed. Next press +
or – to toggle between your desired temperature display units: F and C
STEP 4 . Using LiONCooler in a Vehicle – protect your vehicle battery:
LiONCooler is ideal for road trips and can be connected to your 12/24v
socket charger often called a ‘cigarette lighter socket’. The 12/24v cord
(round red connector) is included in the power cord accessory kit. Connecting
LiONCooler to your vehicle will ensure your cooler is running and can also
help recharge the internal LiONCooler battery Reminder: to recharge the
battery, the battery button must be switched ON – yellow light illuminates).
Built-in Safety Control:
When your vehicle engine is running, there is no chance of LiONCooler draining
you and if you leave the LiONCooler connected to the 12/24v socket, the cooler
will continue o ‘draw’ power from your vehicle battery. In order to protect
your vehicle battery, LiONCooler has safety settings for this situation.
With the LiONCooler switch ON, press and hold the SETTINGS (gear wheel) button
for about 5 seconds to change the battery protection mode. There are three
options: H(high), M(medium), and L(ow).
For example:
When the unit is connected to the car, we suggest setting the car battery
protection to H or M level. L is suggested when the unit is powered in a wall
outlet or in a ‘cordless ode’ running on LiONCooler’s own battery. ‘L’ means
you don’t need to protect anything because you’re not connected to a vehicle
battery power source.
TIP:
If you have a good memory and can get into a routine of doing the following,
simply getting into the habit of UNPLUGGING the 12/24v cord from LiONCooler
whenever your vehicle is stationary/parked is another way of ensuring you
don’t end up with a flat car battery! Ideally, you’d follow the protection
steps above but we all love a workaround suggestion! Either way – make sure to
protect your vehicle battery!
STEP 5. Cooling Power Settings MAX or ECO mode:
When you want a faster ‘booster’ chill or freeze, setting LiONCooler to MAX
mode is the ideal setting. However, keep in mind that using MAX also consumes
more power which can be more noticeable in cordless mode and affect the amount
of time your battery charge will last. So, we recommend that once your desired
temperature is reached and is maintained, you set the cooler to ECO mode. Pre-
chilling drinks/produce ahead of time wherever possible will also enable you
to switch to ECO mode sooner; just think of it as placing warm food/drinks in
your kitchen fridge which will take longer to cool down and make your fridge
“work harder”. With the LionCooler switched ON and running, press the SETTINGS
(gear wheel) button to select control mode, and then you can switch between
MAX(Quick cooling) and ECO (Energy-saving) mode. Only press the button briefly
to ‘toggle’ between MAX/ECO.
TIP:
Keep a close eye on the LED display screen when holding down the SETTINGS
button. If you hold down for too long, it is easy to accidentally find
yourself in the vehicle battery protection settings mode (Step 4). This is no
problem. It takes a bit of practice and you can always just step away and
start again!
STEP 6. Restore factory settings:
If you wish to clear out any of your LiONCooler previous settings preferences
or find some recurring error codes appear, a good idea is to simply clear out
the memory by restoring the cooler to its original factory settings . Think of
it as refreshing/rebooting your computer or phone from time to time.
Turn ON the battery and turn OFF your LiONCooler (see Step 1) then press and
hold the SETTINGS (gear wheel) button for about 3 seconds. Now you’ll see El
on the screen. Press and simultaneously hold down the + and – buttons at the
same time until you see “-188” displayed.
