Troubleshooting

FAQ

• Why is there a water flow noise from inside the refrigerator?
  • This noise is a normal phenomenon caused by the flow of refrigerant within the system. It does not indicate a malfunction.
• What should I do if there are water around the refrigerator casing or door gap?
  • This is a normal phenomenon where moisture condenses to water when it comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the refrigerator. Wipe off any excess water as needed.

POWER SUPPLY AND CHARGING

• Power Supply: The refrigerator can be powered by 12V / 24V DC power 100-240V AC (adapter included)
• Optional removable Lithium battery if there is no connection of DC/ AC power.
• DC/ AC power will run the refrigerator, and charge the optional removable battery simultaneously.
• Battery Charging: There are three types of charging methods. 12V / 24V DC power, 100-240V AC with adapter, or solar panel (12V-50V).

WARNING: Do not open or disassemble the battery.

Only use approved chargers with the fridge battery, incorrect chargers may result in fire, damage, a shortened battery life. Do not disassemble, impact, squeeze, crush, or throw or misuse the fridge battery, do not dispose of in fire, any of which may result in short circuit and fire or explosion. If there is swelling and heating of the fridge battery do not continue to use, it may result in fire or explosion, do not use the battery if it is wet or damp.

Battery Operation

• Long press on the battery to switch ON/OFF the battery

Tips to make the battery last longer:

1. Switch to ECO mode by pressing on the fridge panel;
2. Set the battery protection to “L” mode (very important setting to make the battery work longer time)
3. Pre-chill the fridge to your ideal temperature in advance;
4. Do not open the door frequently;
5. Do not set the temperature too low if not necessary

Solar Panel Charge Connection

Insert the solar charge cable into the refrigerator’s Solar charge interface

• Max Solar input Voltage: 50V
• Max Solar input Current: 10A

Checking Charge Status: When the refrigerator is powered

ON and DC / AC power is connected, the battery icon on display screen will flash to show charging. To charge the fridge / freezer battery without running the compressor, simply connect the adapters without powering “ON” the fridge. To view charging status please press and hold button for 3 seconds. The fridge’s battery status and voltage will be displayed. When the voltage reaches 12.6V and the battery icon stops flashing, the unit has been fully charged and wiring should be disconnected to prevent internal component from damage.

WARNING: Do not charge fridge / freezer with DC 12V and Solar Panel at the same time! The fridge could be seriously damaged and pose a potential hazard to you.

AC Charging Management

If the fridge has not been used for a long time, the battery may be discharged, and the fridge will not power on. Please use the AC adapter to charge the fridge battery and run the fridge. After the fridge battery has charged up to 30%, you can switch to other methods for charging.

Car Cigarette Lighter Charging Management

The product has a three-level battery protection function, which not only guarantees the normal operation of the product, but also protect the battery of the vehicle. When in the power-on state, long press SET button for 3 seconds and the display screen flashes H, select low voltage production L(ow), Medium), and High) by clicking button. The factory default is set to L(ow) protection.

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 back-up battery. The battery protection level should be set to H if the product will keep working after turning off the car engine, or the product may drain the battery.

Solar Charging Management

To make sure your fridge is being charged by a solar panel, please turn the fridge on first. The battery icon will flash on the display screen to show the charging status. The fridge can be turned off while it is being charged. Press and hold the button for over 3 seconds to check the battery status and volatage. An extension cable may be required to keep the fridge in a cool place (to avoid overheating) while the solar panel is in the sun. Input power for charging should be higher than the refrigerator power draw (about 40-45w), otherwise the optional battery will not charge at the same time. To ensure that solar charging power is higher than refrigerator working power, a 100- Watt solar panel is advised.

NOTE: Because of the different output voltages between vehicles, the battery protection level can be set from H to M or from M to L if there is a voltage protection code F1 shown on the panel.

BATTERY USAGE

Optional Removable Battery: The lithium battery is back up power to keep the refrigerator working for short periods while off grid.
Notice: When not using the battery power or fridge for a long time, please turn off the battery output. (Hold setting button for 3 Sec).

Maintain Battery Charge:

1. Home / Hotel: Use AC adapter to charge unit from AC outlet.
2. Car / Boat: Use DC port to power the fridge and charge the battery.
3. Off Grid: Put the optional battery inside the battery compartment of the fridge, and connect the optional solar panel to the fridge. Or use portable 12V power system / solar system. Do NOT connect the solar panel directly to the battery.

Extended battery usage:

1. Cool down the fridge before your journey: It is always suggested to charge fridge battery and cool the fridge down in advance with the mains to DC adapter from the wall outlet the day before the trip. To prepare for off-grid fridge usage, place food and beverages inside fridge for cooling the day before. This will not only keep the optional battery more durable, but also save energy for outdoor activities once on battery mode.
2. Disconnecting the Battery: The battery can be removed or disconnected with the side button. This prevents the battery from discharging. The product will work from the AC adapter or car outlet without the optional battery installed. Note: Please charge fully the optional battery before it is put into storage 1 month or more.

FOOD STORAGE

Freezer (-4° F~32° F)(-20°C~0°C):

Meat should be cut and packed properly when placed in the fridge. Do not put the fresh food and frozen food together. Do not store glass containers or other containers which seal in liquid in the freezer, to avoid explosion.

Refrigerator (32° F~50° F)(0°C~10°C):

Egg, butter, milk and bottle drinks can be stored. All food should be packed appropriately before being stored in the fridge. Place food in refrigerator after it gets cool in order to save energy.
