PORTABLE REFRIGERATOR ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC

APPLICATIONS
If you equipped the portable refrigerator with a
portable power station, it could maintain the
proper temperature you set under any circum-
stances without any worries.
Tea can be kept fresh in the portable refrigerator
so that you can drink fresh and delicious tea at
any time during the driving tour.
In summer, the temperature inside the car is very
high, causing the fruits in the car to be unable to
keep fresh for more than 2 hours. Even if the air
conditioner is open, the storage time is short. The
refrigerator can effectively keep fruits fresh.
Prevent health problems caused by drinking
bottled water that is exposed to excessive heat.
When placing ice cream, please adjust the
temperature to the lowestand always keep the
refrigerator on.
Portable refrigerator let chilled ingredients
(frozen food, expensive seafood, etc.) accompany
yourjourney.
The ideal storage temperature of red wine is50°F
to 64°F. The precise temperature control of the
portable refrigerator canensure the storage
temperature of red wine.
The coating of sunglasses will fall off under the
high temperature in summer, and the portable
refrigerator is the ideal place to put it.
Health care products need to be refrigerated, and
the portable refrigerator can accurately control
the temperature to protect your health.
Cosmetics are easy to deteriorate under the high
temperature in the car. A portable refrigerator will
be a better choice for you tostore the cosmetics.

PORTABLE REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
▲ Car Battery Protection Function
The built-in electronic control module can automatically monitor the car battery voltage. When the car
battery power drops to a certain level, the portable refrigerator will automatically cut off the power
connectionto ensure that the car battery will notrun out.
Note: When the portable refrigerator isturnedon, the ON /OFF refers to the ON /OFF of the compressor.

fridge still does not work normally,pleaseuse a new adapter.
Solution: Please replace with a new fan.
The input voltage is too low
① Condition: E3Appears when using the DC cord.
Solution: Please use the AC adapter to test it. If the refrigerator can be
used normally without the E3 code, you need to check your external
power supply.
② Condition:E3 appears when using the AC adapter.
Solution: Please power off the refrigerator for 5 minutes. After that,turn
on the refrigerator. If E3 still appears, please replace the compressor
controller.
Compressor starts frequently
or input voltage failure
Solution: Please power off the refrigerator for 1 hour, and then restart the
refrigerator to see if E4 still appears. If it is, please replace the
compressor controller.
Compressor turbine speeds too
slow
Solution: Power off the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Then turn on the
refrigeratorto check whether the fan rotates. If the fan does not rotate,
please replace the fan.
Note: Reserve 15cm for the cooling holes for ventilation.
