The Product
Operation
- Power supply: 12/24V DC or 110~240V AC (an adapter is included in the package).
- Power cable connection:
- Control Panel Operation
- Plug the car fridge into an AC 110V power source by the adapter, or DC 12V power source of the cigarette lighter socket in a car, the car fridge will start to work automatically. The factory default setting is displaying Fahrenheit degree, ECO mode, and batter protection at H level.
- Three seconds without any operation, the control panel will automatically lock. In order to set your desired temperature, or change the work mode, or battery protection level, you must touch and hold the Unlock Button for three seconds to unlock the panel firstly, the lock icon in the display will disappear, then you are allowed to set your desire temperature, or mode, or battery protection level accordingly.
- Touch and hold the Power Switch for three seconds to turn off/on the fridge.
- Touch the Setting Button lightly, you will switch the work mode between MAX and ECO. MAX mode means fast cooling, and it will consume a lot of energy from the battery; ECO mode means energy saving, it will not consume as much energy but it can not reach your desired temperature fast.
- Touch and hold the Setting Button for three seconds, the wording H, M, L wording below the battery icon starts flashing, then touch the Setting Button lightly you will switch the battery protection level between H, M, and L, which means High, Middle and Low level respectively. When connecting to the car battery, the battery icon in the display will change its status to indicate the car battery’s electric quantity.
- Touch the + or – button to set your desired temperature. When setting temperature, the digit number keeps flashing; three seconds without any peration, the digit number stops flashing and resumes to read the real temperature interior.
- The control program will remember your setting forever, it will not change until you operate by yourself.
Battery Protection Level
The car fridge keeps monitoring the car battery’s voltage when it is turned on. Different voltages correspond to a different electric quantity icon as follows:
| 12V Voltage| 24V Voltage| Battery Icon
---|---|---|---
0| U≦9.5| U≦21.2|
1| 9.6≦U≦10.7| 21.3≦U≦22.2|
2| 10.8≦U≦11.2| 22.3≦U≦24.5|
3| 11.3≦U≦11.8| 24.6≦U≦25.3|
4| 11.9≦U≦12.5| 25.4≦U≦26.0|
5| U≧12.6| U≧26.1|
There are three protection levels, High, Middle, and Low for options. For each level, the corresponding auto-off and auto-on voltage are as follows:
Level | 12V | 24V |
---|---|---|
Auto-off | Auto-on | Auto-off |
Low | 9.6V | 10.9V |
Middle | 10.8V | 11.4V |
High | 11.3V | 12.5V |
Example: Assuming you set the protection level to be H and keep plugging
the car fridge into the car battery, the car fridge will automatically turn
off when the input voltage gets to 11.3V, it will automatically turn on when
the battery is recharged and input voltage gets back to 12.5V and higher.
It is recommended to set the protection level to High instead of Low and set
the work mode to be ECO when the car engine will be stopped for a long time.
If there is a backup battery, M or L level is recommended.
Trouble Shooting
-
The appliance is out of work:
——Check the power supply connection
——Check whether the plug and the socket have a good connection.
——Check whether the fuse has been burned out.
——Check whether the appliance is turned on (press the On/Off button for 3 seconds)
——Whether the compressor is in delay start protection when the appliance is starting up. -
The food inside is frozen:
——The set temperature is too low. -
There is a sound of water flow coming from the refrigerator
——It is normal, the sound is caused by the refrigerant circulation.

Food storage
-
Freezer ( – 4 F )
——Meat should be cut and wrapped tightly, and then evenly placed in the freezer.
——After buying frozen food, put it in the freezer as soon as it is still in frozen condition.
——Do not put the fresh food and frozen food together.
——Do not put the fruit and vegetable in the freezer to avoid freeze-drying.
——Do not put the glass container or other container with sealed liquid in the freezer. Or there is a possibility of explosion. -
Refrigerator ( 32 F ~ 50 F )
——Eggs, butter, milk, and bottled drinks should be put in the refrigerator.
——Fruit and vegetable should be put in the crisper for moisture retaining.
——Hot food should be cooled down before it’s placed in, which could help to save power.
——Food must be packed into freezer bags. Leave space between packaged foods to keep the circulation of cool air.
Defrosting
- After the refrigerator works for a period, frost could be seen on surfaces in the freezer, which reduces cooling performance and increases power consumption. In this case, you need to defrost it.
- Unplug the refrigerator and open the doors, take the food in the refrigerator to cool place. Use a defrosting shovel to remove ice and frost (also can just let the door open, then ice and frost will be thawed by the raising temperature). Then use a dishtowel to wipe off the ice water. After that, place the food back in the refrigerator and plugin.
Note: Do not use sharp metal tools to defrost, you will possibly break the coil by doing so.
Care and cleaning
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning!
- Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water to wipe the inner surfaces and external appearance of the refrigerator.
- Use neutral detergent to clean the heavy stains, and dry with a clean soft cloth.
- For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator and leave the doors open a little. Then place the refrigerator in a ventilated place.
NOTE: Do not sprinkle water on the refrigerator during cleaning because that would reduce the insulating property of electrical components and erode the metal parts.
- Do not use cleaners containing corrosive and deliquescent material ( such as scouring powder, bleach, soap powder, alkaline cleansers, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and etc.) to clean the appearance panels, door gaskets, and plastic parts. Following situations are normal
- The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
- In the raining and high humidity weather, moisture may form on the outside of refrigerator or door gaskets. You can wipe damp surfaces with a dry cloth.
- The temperature on the back panel may be high (particularly in summer) due to the heat emission of the condenser.
- The temperature on the external surface of the compressor may be high when the compressor is working.
- The compressor may cause a high hum or pulsating sound when it is at starting or stopping step.
- It’s normal to hear metal hit noise from the compressor when the refrigerator is bumped.
