Key Product Features:
• The most reliable portable cooling system in the world.
• Electronic, high efciency, low energy consumption.
• Multi-voltage DC system (12 and 24 Volt )
• Adjustable battery protection helps protect your vehicle battery
(DC only).
1. Safety Instructions
• Warning: Do not use your unit if any cabling is damaged, frayed
or there is exposed wiring.
• Warning: Do not attempt or continue to operate your unit if it is wet.
• When using the unit ensure the circuit being used has a fuse
or circuit breaker, recommended size for DC 12 Volt is 15 Amp,
DC 24 Volt is 7.5 Amp.
• Make sure the voltage is within the correct range for socket and
cable being used. The technical data label on the side of the unit
shows the voltage ranges.
• Do not place any electrical devices inside the refrigerator as they
may be damaged.
• The appliance shall not be exposed to rain, or any other source of
water.
• Please keep the appliance away from ammable substances which
can cause ignition.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children unless they
have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure
that they can use the unit safety. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
2. Notes on using the product
• Your unit requires good ventilation, especially around the back of the
refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 4” (100mm) around all sides.
• Do not allow a large amount of frost to build up on the inside walls
as this may impair cooling. Defrost by turning the unit off, allowing
the frost to melt and wiping out the water.
• The lower the ambient temperature, the lower the power usage, in
order to maximize efciency keep the unit in a cool location out of
direct sunlight.
• It is recommended to operate the unit on a at surface, but it will
operate at angles up to 30º.
• Never place hot food or drink in the appliance
• Please remove the door before you dispose your of refrigerator.
3. Operation
• Power: Both DC (12 and 24 Volt)
• Battery Protection: Selecting the Low, Med, High positions of the
switch (next to the DC power socket), you can choose different
levels for battery protection. In the below table you can nd the
voltages when the compressor stops running (cut-out) and when the
compressor restarts working(cut-in).

MED 10.7V 11.7V 22.6V 24.0V
HIGH 11.7V 12.7V 24.6V 26.0V

Battery protection allows you to leave the unit in the vehicle and the
fridge/freezer will shut down before draining the vehicle battery below
the set voltage level.
• Cable Length Specication
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length
(measured from the battery to the unit), according to this table:
CABLE THICKNESS 12V MAX CABLE LENGTH 24V MAX CABLE LENGTH
AWG [m] [ft.] [m] [ft.]
14 2.5 8 5 16
12 4 13 8 26
10 6 20 12 39
8 10 33 20 66
Temperature setting range: -4ºF to 50ºF (-20ºC to 10ºC)
The LED Display range: -40ºF to 113ºF (-40ºC to 45ºC)
• Plug in the DC power. Press the button ON/OFF to turn the unit
on. The LED display on the control panel will turn on and the interior
temperature is displayed.
• Press the temperature buttons UP or DOWN to adjust to the desired
temperature.
• Too change from Fahrenheit to Celsius press the SET button once
for Fahrenheit and twice for Celsius.
• To change compressor modes, press the SET button three times for
Economy (ECO) and a green light will illuminate. Press the SET

button four times for MAX (HH) and a red light will illuminate.
The economy mode runs the compressor at a lower speed to save
power; the maximum mode runs the compressor at a higher speed
increasing power usage. Maximum mode is useful if the ambient
temperature is over 86ºF (30ºC) or fast cooling is required.
• If the power supply is cut off or disconnected, the unit will switch off
automatically and once the power supply is restored it will
automatically switch back on.
4. Cleaning and maintenance
• Please cut off the power before cleaning appliance, clean the
appliance inside and out with a clean damp cloth every week. If it is
dirty, use sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water to clean
the unit.
• Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap. After cleaning,
wipe out with a clean damp cloth and dry carefully.
• Do not store products 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.
5. Troubleshooting
A. The unit is not turning on
• Check whether the unit has been turned on
• Check the power supply (try a different power source, i.e.
different vehicle or power socket)
• Check whether the plug and the socket have a good connection.
• Check whether the fuse has been burned out or blown
B. Low refrigeration performance
• Too much product been placed inside the unit
SET SWITCH

• There is too much warm product inside the unit
• The lid is unlatched or open
• The lid seal is broken
C. Problems arising from poor ventilation
(ensure at least 4” (100mm) of space around all sides)
• The ambient temperature is too high
• The temperature setting is too high
D. Can hear the sound of running water from inside the unit
• This is normal, due to the ow of refrigerant in the unit.
E. Unusual noise when refrigerator is working
• The refrigerator is not placed on a level surface
6. Error Protection Function
This unit has built-in error protection. If a problem occurs the display
panel will show one of the following error codes: ER0, ER1, ER2,
ER3, ER4, ER5, ER9, and the compressor will shut down. Turn off
the unit and allow it to cool down for 30 minutes. Make sure it is on
a level surface and nothing is blocking its ventilation. Restart the
