OPERATION

Your Unique fridge, like any battery-powered refrigerating appliance, requires different care than appliances plugged into an electric utility. Prudent operation is the key to extended service.
STARTING THE FRIDGE
After the fridge has been properly connected to the 12 or 24 VDC power source, the compressor will automatically turn on and the cabinet will begin cooling. Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 4 hours prior to adding foodstuff.

UNIQUE UGP 260L1 Solar Powered DC Fridge - control

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature within the fridge and freezer compartments is controlled by the thermostat situated on the inside of the fridge area. When you first start the fridge we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a maximum setting (7) until desired refrigeration temperatures are achieved. The correct internal temperature setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the central or middle portion of the appliance.

NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE


THERMOSTAT SETTING| FRIDGE TEMPERATURE|

FREEZER TEMPERATURE

Setting = 2.5| 1°C to 4°C 33°F to 39°F| -10°C to -15°C 14°F to 5°F
Setting = 7| -4°C / 24.8 °F| -15°C / 5°F
NOTE: Setting 1 being warmest and 7 coldest

The fridge will run a few degrees colder at high elevations.
ADJUSTMENTS
As the ambient temperature changes with the season, it may be nec­essary to adjust the thermostat to achieve the proper internal tem­perature. If the room/ambient temperature approaches the appliance’s internal operating temperature, the appliance will not function as it should. The appliance will tend to run colder during these conditions and it may be necessary to turn the thermostat to a warmer setting (lower number). If the room/ambient temperature exceeds 100°F (38°C), the appliance will not function as it should. The appliance will tend to run warmer and it may be necessary to turn the thermostat to a colder setting (towards the maximum setting).
OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR
The doors are fitted with uniform sealing strips to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the fridge and freezer compartments.
Be sure that the doors and door seals are free from obstructions and form a complete seal around the rim of the fridge/freezer cabinets. Over-stuffing and/or unlevel installation of the appliance will prevent a good seal.
It might be hard to open the door immediately after the door is closed. This is due to air contraction in the fridge/freezer cabinets. This pres­sure difference will equalize in a few seconds, making the doors easy to open once again.
LOADING THE FRIDGE AND FREEZER
A battery-powered refrigeration appliance has a cooling capacity lower than typical AC appliances. Because the compressor is smaller, the appliance runs more efficiently but cools warm or room tempera­ture food at a slower rate than an AC appliance.
Avoid packing food too tightly around the cooling plates located on the back wall of the fridge/freezer. Allow air flow around these plates to ensure proper operation.
When adding unfrozen food to the freezer for the first time, fill the freezer only 1/3 full and wait until that food is sufficiently frozen before adding more. It will also help to cook food more quickly if the food is packaged in smaller containers rather than large ones. Food packages more than 2 inches thick will cool slowly. Avoid placing warm food in contact with cold food.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

  • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is being pumped through the refrigerant coils.
  • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped through the appliance and you will hear a whirring or pulsing sound from the compressor
  • A thermostat controls the compressor and you may hear a ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.

DEFROSTING
Before cleaning or repositioning the fridge, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electrical power supply.
DEFROSTING THE UNIT The fridge compartment will become pro­gressively covered with frost. This should be removed periodically with a plastic scraper. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the interior walls, complete defrosting should be carried out. Per­form this operation when the appliance is empty and disconnected from the power supply.
NEVER USE SHARP METAL TOOLS TO SCRAPE OR CHIP OFF FROST FROM THE INTERIOR COMPARTMENT AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE BEYOND REPAIR. DO NOT USE HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS ELECTRIC OR GAS HEATERS TO COMPLETE THE DEFROST PROCESS.
To perform a complete defrosting:

  1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.
  2. Remove any stored food and store in coolers, or wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.
  3. Leave the doors open.
  4. Remove the plug from the defrost water drain located in the bot­tom interior of the cabinet.
  5. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the fridge and/or freezer compartments and close the door.
  6. When defrosting is complete, wash and dry the interior
  7. Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and leave running (while empty) for at least 2 hours allowing the interior to cool suf­ficiently.
  8. Reload the fridge and freezer with the previously removed food.

ATTENTION: Partial thawing of frozen food during defrosting may shorten its safe storage lifespan.

UNIQUE UGP 260L1 Solar Powered DC Fridge - OPERATION

WATER CATCH BASIN
There is a water catch basin located at the back of the fridge for excess water or as a result of defrosting. The hot condenser coil runs into the water catch basin and evaporates the water slowly:
NOTE: Take notice when doing a complete defrost as the water catch basin could overfill with large volumes of water going in the water catch basin all at once.

NOTE: When the fridge is connected to a power adaptor or to a battery, the light indicator will not light up.

CLEANING

Internal Cleaning
Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water and mild soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed cleaning products to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is recommended. Wash with a mixture of two tablespoons (30ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water. After cleaning, wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth and clean water to rinse, and allow the fridge/freezer to dry.
External Cleaning
Wash the outside of the cabinet with warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, chemical cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring sponges to clean the fridge as it may cause damage to the surfaces.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

  • Do not install the fridge close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
  • Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the compressor housing cover are not obstructed. Also, allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air circulation (3” or 7.5cm)
  • Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and liquids in airtight packages or containers.
  • Always keep food stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers and allow some space for air to circulate around each item.
  • Avoid keeping the door open for extended periods of time or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to run necessarily often.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly and forming a tight seal.
  • To ensure a safe food storage temperature, maintain an operating temperature inside the fridge cabinet of 2˚C/36˚F to 4˚C/39˚F.
    Fridge temperatures warmer than 4˚C/39˚F can promote unsafe bacterial growth in food.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before contacting a service technician, your local product dealer, or Unique Off-Grid Appliances, please check the following points.
If you contact a technician to repair a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by misuse, abuse, or faulty installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under warranty.

PROBLEM

|

SOLUTION

---|---
The appliance is  connected to power but does not operate|

  • Check if 12V or 24V DC is present at the appliance. If not, check all connections and the system battery voltage.
  • Check that the polarity is correct: positive (+) is connected to positive (+), and negative (-) is connected to negative (-).
  • Check the fuse. If blown, replace it with a new one (see page 11 for details).
  • The primary problem with a non-functioning appliance is due to a voltage drop to the compressor, which causes the unit to fail
    to start due to “low voltage”. Typically a connection is not as tight as it should be, or the wire size to the compressor is too small. The low voltage problem occurs instantly at start-up and can be difficult to detect with a voltmeter because it happens so quickly (<100ms)

The appliance is operating, but the interior (cabinet) is not cold|

  • Allow the appliance at least 4 hrs to cool down once turned on.
  • Check that the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting relevant to the room/ambient temperatures.
  • Check that the room/ambient temperature is not approaching the internal operating temperature and does not exceed 100˚F (38˚C).
  • Has too much warm food been added to the fridge/freezer recently? If so, it will take some time for the appliance to return to temperature.
  • Does the cabinet have adequate ventilation around the sidewalls, allowing it to transfer heat properly? (See Installation section)

The door will not open|

  • Has the door just been opened? If so, leave the appliance closed for a few minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize and try again.

Excessive frost and ice has built up|

  • Is the weather hot and humid? If so, this will increase the rate of frost build-up in the cabinet.
  • Ensure that stored food is properly packaged.
  • Check that the door is closed and has a good seal and that nothing is preventing the door from closing properly.
  • Large quantities of food have recently been placed in the fridge/freezer, and/or the door is frequently opened.
  • Ensure that proper care and maintenance of the appliance has been performed (cleaning, defrosting, etc…)

Noise|

  • Refer to “Normal Operating Sounds” (page 13)

Light does not work|

  • Remove cover and check light bulb – replace if necessary.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
The following items are the responsibility of the customer and are not covered by the warranty:

  • Proper care and use of the appliance as described in this manual.
