• 3 x Baskets 240V adaptor
• l x Manual

Key Product Features

• Reliable cooling system – SECOP compressor.
• Efficient electronic technology, and low energy consumption.
• DC 12/24 voltage system with h Anderson-style plug.
• Digita l battery protection – protect your vehicle battery effectively.

Safety Instructions

• Warning: Do not touch exposed cables.
• Warning: Do not use the fridge if you suspect any connections could be wet.
• When using the fridge in a vehicle, please ensure the circuit being used is fused at the battery or power source at the recommended size.
• Any installation of DC power systems should be handled by a qualified professional.
• Make sure the source voltage is correct. The technical data label (page 12) 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.

Helpful Hints
To ensure maximum performance from your Evokool Glacier Xtreme Fridge/Freezer, please read the following helpful hints.

• Read this instruction manual thoroughly, prior to operation.
• Pre-chill your fridge before use. This will allow your fridge to achieve the desired temperature quicker.
• Clean your fridge regularly to avoid frosting of the cooling plates and ensure the condenser is free of dust and lint.
• Do not store any electrical equipment inside the fridge after use.

For Maximum Efficiency

• Use the included baskets to ensure air circulation freely around the cabinet.
• Ensure the vents are not obstructed to allow maximum airflow.
• Refrain from the unnecessary opening of the unit.

Operation

• Power: The refrigerator can be powered by 12/24 Volts. The electronic module controls the compressor motor and has the added function of 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

Preventative Maintenance & Care: Metal & Injection Moulded Products
To ensure a long life and reliable operation of your metal and injection moulded fridge/ freezer we recommend following our preventative maintenance and care guide.
Cabinet Care

• The cabinet should be cleaned after every use by wiping both the interior and exterior with a damp cloth, using a mild non-abrasive detergent, and drying thoroughly. The painted metal surfaces can be polished with a car polish and a soft cloth. *To protect the cabinet from the harsh conditions a protective cover can be purchased.
• Do not use scourers, harsh cleaning products, solvents, or oil as this will degrade the plastic and can cause damage to painted surfaces.
• Do not leave the cabinet in direct sunlight as this may cause discolouration in the plastic and painted surfaces. Please note plastic components in all Eva Kool fridges/freezers are UV stabilised.

Defrosting

• After use, defrost ice off the evaporator; switch off the unit, and disconnect from the power source. Leave the lids open to naturally melt the ice. Once the ice has melted, ensure the unit is completely dry by draining any residue and wiping it down with a towel.
• Always make sure the cabinet is completely dry and the lid left ajar when put in storage, this will ensure no corrosion, mold or odor will form inside the cabinet.
• Do not store electrical devices such as a 12-volt adaptor inside the refrigerator.

Refrigerator Maintenance
As your Eva Kool fridge is a portable appliance it is subjected to a variety of different operating conditions. Every 12 months of use, a general inspection and maintenance should be carried out. We recommend the inspection be carried out by an approved Eva Kool agent. Our service agents can be found via our website https: //www.evakool. com.au/stores? type=2

Marine Use
We do not recommend the use of our fridges in a marine environment, as salt can cause corrosion in electronics and metal components. If unit failure is found to be caused by corrosion, the warranty will be void.

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 (to replace see page 10).
• 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 (200mm is recommended).
• Too much food has been placed 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 the refrigerator is working

• The refrigerator is not placed on a level surface.
