Pre-operation
1. Before using your Arctic fridge/freezer for the first time, clean entire fridge/freezer inside
and out with a damp cloth.
2. To use AC adapter, plug AC adapter into AC outlet. Plug the lighter socket from the
fridge/freezer power cord into the AC adapter.
3. If connecting to a 12 volt outlet. Make sure circuit is in good condition and has the correct
capacity to power the fridge/freezer. 15 AMP or higher rating on socket is recommended.
4. If using a solar power supply,
5. If connecting to 120V AC off a portable generator, it must be equipped with an automatic
voltage regulator and the power supplied by the generator must be a pure sine wave AC
voltage.
CAUTION – Some generators will not produce output power that is compatible with the
fridge/freezer. This is common for conventional style generators. Inverter generators like
the Smittybilt EPS generator will have the pure sine wave output that is compatible with the
Arctic fridge/freezer.
General installation
A minimum clearance of 4” must be maintained on all sides of the fridge freezer.
Fridge freezer must be securely attached to its mounting location to prevent unwanted
movement.
Never operate near flammable vapors, liquids, or objects.
Ideal location for the fridge/freezer is on a flat surface.
The carry handles can be used as a tie down point or you can use the integrated tie down
points on the included insulated cover.
If using a 12 volt extension, follow the wire size guide to determine the thickness of wire
needed for your length of wire being used. If hardwiring fridge/freezer, use wiring size chart
and install a 15 Amp inline fuse into the circuit.

Battery Monitor
The Arctic fridge/freezer is equipped with a battery preservation monitor. It has three settings to
monitor your battery to prevent a full discharge. The higher the setting the higher the cut-off
voltage will be.
When set to HIGH, the battery monitor will provide maximum protection for the battery running
the fridge/freezer against excessive/full discharge. When set to LOW, the battery monitor will
allow the fridge/freezer to use more of the batteries energy.

The battery monitor will shut off the fridge/freezer as soon as the supply voltage falls below the
set level. The fridge/freezer will restart after 2 minutes once the cut-in voltage is reached.
Cut-out is the input voltage in which the fridge/freezer will turn off at.
Cut-in is the input voltage in which the fridge/freezer will turn on at.
If your fridge/freezer is connected to the starting battery of your vehicle, then it is recommended
to have the battery monitor set to HIGH.
If your fridge/freezer is connected to an auxiliary/secondary battery, then it is recommended to
have the battery monitor set to LOW.
If your fridge/freezer is connected to AC power, then it is recommended to have the battery
monitor set to LOW.
It is recommended to charge the battery once the battery monitor has been triggered.
The plug on the DC power cable has a removable adaptor collar. With the collar in place, this plug
will fit into a conventional 12v lighter socket. Remove the adapter by turning collar 1/8th of a turn
counter clockwise and pull off if utilizing a 2 pole power socket. Commonly referred to as a
Hella/BMW socket.
Adapter installed for lighter sockets.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Please disconnect the power before cleaning the fridge/freezer, clean the appliance
inside and out with a clean damp cloth every week. If it is dirty, use sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in lukewarm water to clean the unit.
Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap. After cleaning, wipe out interior
with a clean damp cloth and dry carefully.
Do not store product inside unit if the unit is not on.
Do not store the unit if it is wet inside or without leaving the lid open.
Never clean the unit under running water or in dish water. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the unit.
Clean all vents with compressed air or vacuum cleaner.
Performance hints
To maximize cooling and efficiency, always pre-cool your fridge/freezer before
mobile use.
Place the fridge/freezer in a well ventilated area.
Avoid placing fridge/freezer in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Do not leave the lid open for longer than necessary.
Minimize the frequency the fridge/freezer is opened.
Avoid setting the target temperature excessively low.
Defrost the fridge/freezer once ice starts to form in the interior.
Defrosting
Periodically ice may form on the inside of your fridge/freezer. This will reduce its capacity
and cooling efficiency. Defrosting your fridge/freezer regularly will keep the fridge/freezer
at peak operating condition.
1. Remove all contents and removable basket.
2. Disconnect fridge/freezer from power supply.
3. Open lid to allow interior compartment to warm up to ambient air temperature.
4. As ice melts, soak up water with a clean towel.
5. Once all ice has melted, clean interior.
CAUTION: DO NOT use hard, sharp or pointed objects to defrost the fridge/freezer
or loosen items that have become frozen in place. Irreparable damage to cooling
system can occur.
