Evakool TMDZ50 Travelmate Dual Zone Fridge/Freezer Instruction Manual

Evakool TMDZ50 Travelmate Dual Zone Fridge/Freezer

Key Product Features

•  Reliable cooling system – SECOP compressor.
•  Efficient electronic technology, low energy consumption.
•  Multi-voltage system (DC 12-24 Volt) and (AC 100-120/220-240 Volt).
•  Digital Battery Protection – protects your vehicle battery effectively.

Safety Instructions

•  Warning: Do not touch exposed cables.
•  Warning: Do not use fridge if you suspect any connections could be wet.
•  When using the fridge in the vehicle or boat, please ensure the circuit being used is fused.
•  Any installation of DC power systems should be handled by a qualified professional.
•  Make sure the source voltage is correct. The technical data label has the voltage data.
•  Do not place any electrical devices inside the refrigerator as moisture could harm these devices.

Notes On Using The Product

•  Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 200mm around the vents.
•  Avoid humidity: humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling. Do not allow frost to build up.
•  Never clean the appliance using a hose and never submerge the unit in any liquid.
•  Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator to work more efficiently and keep the contents cool.
•  Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When using the fridge in a vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it.

Operation

• Power: The refrigerator can be powered by a multi-voltage system utilizing either 12/24 Volts or 240 Volts. The electronic module controls the compressor motor and has the added function of a three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum, the compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-in value, the compressor will restart automatically.
• Battery Protection: The SECOP compressor requires approximately 11.0 Volts (12 Volt System) or 23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate. If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop running.
• Cable Specification: The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length (measured from the battery to the unit), according to this table:

Cable Thickness (Area)               12V Max Cable Length              24V Max Cable Length

(mm2)| AWG| (m)| (ft)| (m)| (ft)
2 .5| 13| 2 .5| 8| 5| 16
4| 11| 4| 13| 8| 26
6| 9| 6| 20| 12| 39
10| 7| 10| 33| 20| 66

LED Control Panel

Temperature setting range: -18°C to 10°C

•  Plug in the DC or AC power.

•  Press power button for 4 seconds to turn the fridge on. The LED display on the control panel will light up and the interior temperature will be displayed.

•  Press the SET button once the left bin display will flash, use the + and – buttons to set the desired temperature for this side.

•  Press the SET button again the right side bin display will flash, use the + and – buttons to set the desired temperature for this side.

•  Press the SET button again the C (Celsius) will flash use the + and – buttons to change between C (Celsius) or F (Fahrenheit).

•  Press the SET button again the V will flash, use the + or – buttons to change between. (We recommend VL setting ).
  VL – Voltage Low 10.1 Volt cut out
  VM – voltage Medium 11.4 Volt cut out
  VH – Voltage High 11.8 Volt cut out

•  Press the SET button again to lock in settings or just leave for 5 seconds to lock in settings.

USB Charging Port and Thermostat Override Switch

USB Port

This USB port can be used to charge small devices. E.g. mobile phones and remote controllers. The socket is rated to 500mA / 5 Volts.

Thermostat Override Switch

•  If your digital thermostat fails and you are unable to set the temperature, turn this switch to Emergency override. This enables the fridge to run until you reach a service centre to replace the faulty component.
•  If emergency override is enabled the compressor will attempt to run 100% of the time. As this removed the ability to set the internal temperature and will increase power usage (total consumption), it is not recommended for everyday use.

Cleaning & Maintenance

•  Clean the appliance inside and out with a clean damp cloth every week. If it is dirty, use sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water to clean the unit.
•  Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. Do not leave the refrigerator off with food inside or lid closed.
•  Never clean the appliance under running water. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the refrigerator.

Troubleshooting

The appliance is not turning on

•  Check the power supply.
•  Check whether the plug and the socket have a good connection.
•  Check whether the fuse requires replacement.
•  Check whether the appliance has been turned on.

The food inside is frozen

The setting temperature is too low.

Bad performance in refrigeration

•  The temperature setting is inappropriate.
•  The lid is unlocked/or open.
•  The lid seal is broken.
•  Problems arising from poor ventilation.
•  There is no room around the fridge and vents
•  Too much food been places inside the refrigerator.
•  There is too much warm product inside.
•  There is a heat source near the unit.

Hear the sound of water from inside the unit

This is normal, due to the flow of the refrigerant.

Unusual noise when refrigerator is working

•  The refrigerator is not placed on a level surface.
•  Some part has come loose inside the refrigeration compartment (see a service agent).
