- As liquids may have shifted during shipping, the freezer should be set for 12 hours on a level surface before powering on, to allow the liquids and refrigerants to settle.
- Risk of electric shock. Make sure the power cord is not damaged before using this freezer.
- Keep at least a 6-inch (15 cm) gap around the sides and back to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation. Do not block the air inlets and outlets.
- Do not store flammable, explosive, or corrosive products inside.
- In case of machine failure or power failure, the temperature in the freezer will rise. If it cannot be restarted within a short period of time, transfer the items inside to another freezer meeting the temperature requirements.
- For indoor use only.
- Mounting surface must be level, non-combustible, and capable of supporting the weight of the freezer (26 lbs / 12 kgs).

- Ambient temperature must be kept between 0 and 32 (32°F-90°F).
- Keep it dry (away from high humidity and water).

Temperature Control Instructions
-
Power on: Press the Power switch button for 3 seconds to start the freezer.
-
Adjust the temperature: Press the + or – button to adjust the temperature between +20°C and -20°C.
Wait 3 seconds for the display to stop flashing. The freezer will now start cooling to reach the set temperature while the current temperature is shown on the display.
Note: The freezer has a power-off memory function and will remember the last set temperature and working mode. It will automatically recover after the power is restored. -
Fast cooling/energy saving mode: Press the Setting button to switch between the fast-cooling mode MAX and energy saving mode ECO (MAX uses more energy than ECO).
-
External battery protection mode: If the freezer is plugged in an external battery (such as a car battery), the freezer can be set to turn off before depleting the battery. Press the Setting button for 3 seconds, then press the Setting button again to set the external battery protection mode: H (High protection), M (Middle protection) or L (Low protection). It is recommended to keep this setting to H (High) to ensure enough power is left in the battery to start the car.
-
Lock/unlock screen: The operation panel automatically locks the screen after 10 seconds of inactivity. To unlock the screen, press the Unlock button for 3 seconds.
-
To switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit: Turn off the freezer. Press the Setting button for 5 seconds, the screen will display “CF”. Then press the + button to switch between °C and °F. Wait for 3 seconds for the screen to stop flashing which indicates the new unit has been set. You can now restart the freezer.
Bluetooth Communication
The freezer can be controlled and monitored remotely through Bluetooth using
the App “Car Fridge Freezer” (Available on the Android and Apple App stores).
By connecting the freezer through the App, you can check the temperature,
voltage and other information, as well as changing the temperature setting and
turning the fridge off/on.
Note: This app was not designed by, and is not controlled by IVYX
Scientific. We bear no responsibilities for any issues arising from the use of
this app.
Maintenance
- Clean the inner and outer surfaces of the freezer with a non-corrosive, neutral cleaning agent. After cleaning, wipe with a dry cloth.
- Keep the ventilation air inlet and outlet free of dust.
- If the freezer is operating for an extended time, frost is likely to accumulate inside and around the freezer box. Excessively thick frost layer will affect the sealing and refrigeration performance. Please defrost regularly with an ice scraper and wipe clean with a dry cloth.
- Condensation may appear on the door seal or the sides of the freezer. This is normal if the air humidity is high. Just wipe it dry.
- When not in use, unplug the power plug from the freezer. Cover with a plastic bag and place in a clean and ventilated place.
