protectsyourvehiclebatteryagainstexcessivedischarging
whenthedeviceisconnectedtotheon-board12/24Vsupply.
Ifthefridge/freezerisoperatedwhenthevehicleignitionis
switchedo,thefridge/freezerswitchesoautomatically
assoonasthesupplyvoltagefallsbelowasetlevel.The
fridge/freezerwillswitchbackononcethebatteryhasbeen
rechargedtotherestartvoltagelevel.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
Whenswitchedobythebatterymonitor,thebatterywillno
longerbefullycharged.Avoidstartingrepeatedlyoroperating

(EMERGENCYOVERRIDE)isapplicable.
SlidetheEmergencyswitchtotheEMERGENCYOVERRIDE
positiontostartthisfunction.Inthismode,thetemperature
settingfunctionisnotavailable,refrigeratingspeedisdown,
andthismodeisonlyforprovisionaluse.
Duringnormaluse,emergencymodeisnotapplicable.
Emergency mode is only used while the operating panel is
malfunctioning.
CAUTION: This mode is not suitable for long time food
storage,iftheswitchisintheEMERGENCYOVERRIDE
position,thefreezerwithfullcoolingcapacitysupercooled
temperature may freeze the food.
USB PORT FOR POWER SUPPLY
USBportallowsyoutochargesmalldeviceslikemobile
phones and MP3 players.
Touseyourfridge/freezerwithUSBdevices,simplyconnecta
USBcable(notincluded)toyourdevice.

portiscompatiblewith5V/500mAoperation.
MANIPULATING OF BATTERY PROTECTOR
(LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION)
Whilethebattery’svoltagedropstotheset-updata,
compressorwillstopworking,soastoprotectthebattery
againstoverdischarge;oncethebattery’svoltagereachesthe
restartdataaftercharging,compressorwillstartimmediately.
Whilethebattery’svoltageistoolow,thebatteryprotectorwill
takeeectAredmalfunctionindicatorlightwillblink.Nowyou
need to charge the battery.
Whilethebatteryprotectorcutothebatteryconnection,you
shouldwarrantthebatterytobechargedsuciently,soasto
avoidfrequentrestartingofcompressor.

DEFROSTING
Humiditycanformfrostintheinteriorofthecoolingdeviceor
ontheevaporator.Thisreducesthecoolingcapacity.Defrost
thedeviceingoodtimetoavoidthis.
Defrostingstepsareasbelow:
• Takethestoredmaterialfromthefridge/freezer.
• Ifitisnecessary,thestoredmaterialcouldbestoredin
another fridge/freezer.
• Cutothepower,openthefridge/freezer’slid,andkeepit
open until the ice and frost melt away.
• Useacleanclothtowipeothedefrostedwater.
CAUTION:Neverusehardorpointedtoolstoremoveiceorto
loosenobjectswhichhavefrozeninplace.

andMaxis15A.Afusewithratedcurrent
lessthan10Awillbeeasilyburntduringcompressorstarting
procedure;afusewithratedcurrentmorethan15Awillburn
the battery fuse in the car when the fridge/freezer uses the car
battery.
Follow the below steps for replacing the Display Panel:
• Unplugthepowerplugandopenthefridge/freezer’slid.
