• Power On/Off: press to switch ON/OFF.
• Temperature Setting: press the button or for temperature setting, press the button to increase or the button to decrease the temperature. The setting will be saved  automatically after stopping operating for 4 seconds. (Note: the temperature displayed is the current temperature of the compartment. It will take a while to reach the set  temperature.) Temperature setting range: -20~20°C (-4~68°F)
• Cooling Mode: under the running state, press to switch between MAX (fast cooling) and ECO (Energy Saving Mode). (*Factory setting is MAX.)
• Temperature Unit Setting: switch off the fridge, long press for three seconds until E1 displays, keep pressing until E1 displays, then press or to select Celsius or Fahrenheit.  (*Factory setting is 0c)
• Battery Protection Mode: Under the running state, long press for three seconds until the screen flashes, then press again to select protection mode H (High), M (Middle), and  L  (Low) (*Factory setting is H.)
  Due to the different output voltages between vehicles, H should be set when the product is connected to car power, and M or L should be set when it is connected to a  portable battery or other backup battery.
  The battery gear should be set from H to M or from M to L if there is a voltage protection code F1 shown on the panel. The battery gear should be set to H if the product keeps working after turning off the car engine, or the product may drain the battery.

Voltage Reference:

*the voltage is a theoretical value, there may be a deviation in different scenarios.

• Reset: switch off the fridge, long press for three seconds until E1 displays. Under E1 mode, long press at the same time until the screen displays ” 888 “.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check if the plug and socket are connected well.
Check if the fuse has been burnt.
Check if the power supply malfunctions.
Switching on/off the fridge frequently may cause a start delay of the compressor.
Refrigerator compartments are too warm| The door is opened frequently.
A large amount of warm or hot food was stored recently. Wait for the refrigerator to reach its selected temperature.
The refrigerator has been disconnected for a period of time.
Food is frozen| The temperature was set too low, please increase the temperature.
There is a “water flow” noise from inside the fridge| It’s a normal phenomenon, caused by the flow of refrigerant.
There are water drops around the refrigerator casing or door gap| It’s a normal phenomenon, the moisture will condense to water when it touches a cold surface of the refrigerator.
The compressor is slightly noisy when starting| It’s a normal phenomenon, the noise will be reduced after the compressor works stably.
Code Fl displayed| Possible cause: low voltage to the fridge.
Adjust the battery protection from H to M or from M to L.
Code F2 displayed| Possible cause: condenser fan is overloaded. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F3 displayed| Possible cause: the compressor starts too frequently. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F4 displayed| Possible cause: compressor not kicking in. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F5 displayed| Possible cause: overheating of the compressor & electronics. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
Code F6 displayed| Possible cause: no parameter can be detected by the controller. Disconnect power to fridge for 30 minutes & re-start.
