User Manual

Please read all instructions carefully before using the refrigerator.

Features

• Reliable cooling system with Danfoss designed compressor manufactured by SECOP
• Efficient electronic technology, low energy consumption
• Multi-voltage system (DC 12-24 Volt) and (AC 100-120/220-240 Volt)
• Digital Battery Protection – protects your vehicle battery effectively

Safety Instructions

• Warning: Do not touch exposed cables.
• Warning: Do not use the fridge if you suspect any connections could be wet.
• When using the fridge please ensure the circuit being used is fused.
•  installation of DC power sources should be handled by a qualified professional.
• Make sure the source voltage is correct. Please refer to the technical data label for 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.
• Do not wash the appliance using a hose or running water and do not submerge the unit, as water will damage the electronics.
• Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. A cooler environment helps the refrigerator 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 electronic control module powers the compressor motor and has the function of three-stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum, the
the compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-in value, the compressor will restart automatically.
The Danfoss compressor requires approximately 11.0 Volts (12 Volt System) or 23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate. If the voltage drops below this, the fridge will stop running.

Cable Specification
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table:
*Note: The length is from the battery to the refrigerator.

Using The Fridge
To Turn ON:

1. Plug in the AC or DC power cable.
2. Hold the button for 4 seconds, until the white LED is illuminated.

• When the unit is plugged in and OFF, a white LED will be illuminated.

Within the TEMPERATURE TYPE MENU, you can use the or buttons to change the setting from CELSIUS to FAHRENHEIT.
If you want to continue normal operation, wait 5 seconds for the fridge to return to the home screen or press again to enter the BATTERY PROTECTION MENU
Within the BATTERY PROTECTION MENU, you can use the or buttons to change the setting from Low (LO) to Medium (NE) to High (HI).
The three voltage settings are as follows : (KickAss recommends you keep the setting on HI)

Within the TEMPERATURE TYPE MENU, you can use the or buttons to change the setting from CELSIUS to FAHRENHEIT.
If you want to continue normal operation, wait 5 seconds for the fridge to return to the home screen or press again to enter the BATTERY PROTECTION MENU.
Within the BATTERY PROTECTION MENU, you can use the or buttons to change the setting from Low (V L ) to Medium (V L) to High (V L).
The three voltage settings are as follows : (KickAss recommends you keep the setting on V H)

USB Charging Port and Thermostat Override Switch

• 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 center to replace the faulty component.
  Please Note: If emergency override is enabled the compressor will attempt to run 100% of the time.
  This removes the ability to set the internal temperature and will increase power usage (Total consumption) and is not recommended for everyday use.

Cleaning and 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.
• Do not 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 the lid closed.
• Never clean the appliance under running water.

Troubleshooting

The appliance is not turning on

• Check the power supply
• Check if the plug and the socket have a good connection
• Check if the fuse has been burned out
• Check if the appliance has been turned on (Press and hold the button for 4 seconds)

The food inside is frozen

• The setting temperature is too low
• The thermostat override switch is enabled

Bad performance in refrigeration

• Too much food inside the refrigerator
• The lid is unlocked/or open
• The lid seal is broken, obstructed, or deformed
• Problems arising from poor ventilation
• There is too much warm product inside
• There is no room around the fridge and vents
• There is a heat source near the unit
• The temperature setting is inappropriate

Sound of water from inside the unit

• This is normal, due to the flow of the refrigerant.
  Unusual noise when the refrigerator is working

• The refrigerator is not placed on a level surface

• Some part has come loose inside the refrigeration compartment (contact KickAss Products)
