The Portable Fridge Freezer (PFF) can be used as a refrigerator
or as a freezer and can be used in homes, cars, trucks, RVs and
boats. The retractable handle and sturdy wheels make it easy
to transport.
Description
Keep the ventilation opening away from walls and other obstructions.
A maintenance-free refrigerant circuit with a compressor provides
the cooling function.
Place the appliance out of direct sunlight and away from sources
of heat and high humidity.
The PFF comes equipped with a multi-use divider, which is stored
under the cover. It can be used as a divider inside the unit and can
also be used as a cutting board.

Apply the two Anti-Scratch Stickers made of silicone that are
provided in order to protect the exterior of the PFF.
The PFF switches off automatically at low battery voltage.
Check the plug and cable before you connect the power and
ensure it is 110 voltage.
Only connect the device as follows:
· With DC cable to a 12/24V plug socket in a vehicle
(e.g. cigarette lighter)
· With AC power supply connection cable to AC mains supply
When connected to the DC socket, disconnect it or turn Power
off when the engine is turned off, to prevent discharge of
the battery.
There is an Emergency Override switch on the side of the PFF.
If an electronic failure occurs, push down the switch from
“Normal Use” to “Emergency Override” mode.
If the PFF is operating with battery power supply and if the battery
voltage is low, the display will automatically shut off and the error
code “E1” will be displayed.

Operation
4
Store food in appropriate packaging and containers to ensure
that raw meat does not come in contact with other foods.
The PFF can be operated with any 12/24V DC portable
battery station.
Connecting to a battery (vehicle or boat)
Disconnect the PFF and other consumer units from the battery
before you connect the battery to a charging device. Overvoltage
can damage the electronics of the device.
For safety reasons the PFF is equipped with an electronic system
to prevent polarity reversal. This protects it against short-circuiting
when connected to a battery.
Plug the 12/24V connection cable into the DC voltage socket or
into a 12V cigarette lighter socket.
If connecting PFF to an external portable battery, the battery
should be at least 60W with output of 11V-16V.
Connecting to 100 ~ 240V AC power supply mains
(e.g. at home)
If using the PFF on board a boat from a mains AC power supply
connection of 100 ~ 240V, install a surge protector between
100 ~ 240V AC mains and the PFF.
Plug the 100 ~ 240V connection cable into the 100 ~ 240V AC
voltage mains and the AC power supply's output end connection
into PFF's socket.

Using the Battery Monitor
The PFF is equipped with a multi-level Battery Monitor that
protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging
when the device is connected to the on-board 12/24 V supply.
If the PFF is operated when the vehicle's ignition is switched off,
the PFF switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage
falls below a set level. The PFF will switch back on once the
battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
Select the Battery Monitor Mode based on the following table:

Restart voltage at 12 V
Switch-off voltage at 24 V
Restart voltage at 24 V

Press the Power button to turn on.
Press the Set button 3 times.
Press + and – buttons to select H1, H2 or H3.
NOTE:
When Power to PFF is supplied by the starter battery of a car,
select the battery monitor mode “H3”. If the PFF is connected to
a supply battery, the battery monitor mode “H1” will suffice.
If you operate the PFF from an AC power supply, set the battery
monitor to “H1”.
Do not use sharp tools to defrost and remove ice.
