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 please ensure the circuit being used is fused.
• Any installation of DC power sources should be handled by a qualified professional.
• Make sure the source voltage is correct. The technical data label shows 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 and 100mm around the rest of the unit.
• Avoid humidity: humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling. Do not allow frost to build up.
• Never wash the appliance using a hose or running water and never submerge the unit, as water will damage the electronics.
• Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. A cooler environment 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 utilising 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 cutin value, the compressor will restart automatically.
• Battery Protection: The Scoop compressor requires over 10.4 Volts (12 Volt System) or 23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate. If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop operating.
• 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| 12| 2.5| 8| 5| 16
  4| 12| 4| 13| 8| 26
  6| 10| 6| 20| 12| 39
  10| 8| 10| 33| 20| 66

• Setting the Temperature: Press SET once and then the display will flash then press the and buttons to adjust the temperature. Press the button to increase and the button to decrease the temperature. The temperature will flash three times before automatically setting in place. The display board will display the current temperature inside the unit after the target temperature is set. After approximately 5 minutes the displayed temperature will start to decrease.
• Temperature setting range: -20°C to +10°C, 4°F to +50°F.
• To change the fridge between °C a °F. Press SET twice and then   or to change the setting. Press SET again to lock this in.
• Changing battery voltage protection: To change the battery voltage setting press the SET button three times and then use the or to change the setting. Press SET once to lock this in. The three voltage settings are as follows : (Evakool recommends you keep the setting on LO).
  LO – 10.4 Volts
  NE – 11.2 Volts
  HI – 12 Volts

USB Charging Port and Thermostat Override Switch

USB Port

• 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 run 100% of the time. As this removed the ability to set the internal temperature and will increase power usage and cause product to freeze, it is not recommended for everyday use.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Clean the appliance inside and out with a 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.
