GETTING STARTED
Installation
Please check whether the parts of Fridge/Freezer are complete after unpacking.
Note:
Place the unit in a dry place which is protected against splashing water. Do not place directly adjacent to
sources of heat (heating, gas ovens, hot water, pipes or under the blazing sun).
The normal operation of the appliance requires heat to be radiated away from the condenser located at the
end of the cabinet. Adequate airflow is required around the compressor at all times. (Fig. 1).
The cooling system has been designed to operate correctly when the appliance is positioned on angles up
to 30 degrees. It is recommended that the time the of unit is exposed to angles over 30 degrees is limited
to a maximum of four (4) hours continuous operation. (Fig. 2).
Application and Operative Cooling Range
The cooling compartment has varying temperature zones. The values indicated on the digital display are
related to the middle of the cabinet. The Single Zone Fridge/Freezer is designed to either refrigerate or
freeze food. The Flexi Zone Fridge/Freezer can be used as either a fridge or a freezer or both

IMPORTANT:
● If a DC extension cable is required we recommended use of a 6mm dia. (AWG11) 4.58mm Twin
Sheath Two Core cable with direct connection to the positive and negative battery terminals with
15A inline fuse protection.
● The Fridge/Freezer is equipped with an electronic control system that will prevent polarity reversal.
In the event that the battery connection is reversed the unit will not start or operate. The power
input socket is fitted with a 15A blade fuse for protection.

The Fridge/Freezer is designed to operate on AC or DC voltage.
● AC input 110-120V(100-240V) AC at 50Hz (e.g. electrical power point)
● DC input 12V or 24V DC (e.g. car cigarette lighter or car battery)
● The power supply automatically switches the Fridge/Freezer to mains operation when connected
to 110-120V(100-240V) mains power, even if the 12V/24V DC power cable is connected.
● If the Fridge/Freeze is operating when the vehicle ignition switched OFF, the Fridge/Freezer
will switch OFF automatically when the power source voltage falls below the Battery Monitor
cut-out setting.
● The Fridge/Freezer will automatically switch back ON when the vehicle is re-started and the
power source voltage reaches the Battery Monitor cut-in setting.

Power Requirements
● Plug the 12V/24V DC power cable into the DC POWER socket (as circled) on the end of the Fridge/
Freezer and then connect to the vehicle cigarette lighter socket or suitable 12V or 24V DC power source.
● The Fridge/Freezer will automatically turn on, there is no requirement to switch the appliance on.
● The display will automatically show the current internal cabinet temperature.
● For optimum performance and efficiency, it is important that the Fridge/Freezer has a reliable DC power
source. It is recommended that connect the battery in directly and reduce the risk of voltage dropping to
the appliance.
● Use only the 3.5m DC power cable supplied with the Fridge/Freezer.
Operating your Fridge/Freezer with 12/24V DC
simultaneously. The Fridge/Freezer may be used for outdoor, use such as for camping purposes.If you
wish to refrigerate medicines, first ensure the Fridge/Freezer’s cooling capacity meets the demands of
the respective medicines.The Fridge/Freezer is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -18℃
to +10℃(0℉to 50℉) in a maximum air humidity of 90%. The Fridge/Freezer can operate continuously at
an angle of 30° maximum.

5
● Plug the 110-120V(100-240V) AC power cable into the AC POWER socket (as circled below) on the
end of the Fridge/Freezer and then connect to a suitable 110-120V(100-240V) AC power source.
● Keep pressing the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to switch the appliance on.
● The display will automatically show the current internal cabinet temperature.
● The Fridge/Freezer is equipped with a multi-voltage internal power supply with priority circuit for
connecting to an AC voltage power source of 110-120V(100-240V).
● The power input socket is fitted with a 15A blade fuse for protection.
12/24V DC Power Requirements
If your Fridge/Freezer is cutting out prematurely, it could be due to:
1.The low voltage protection being set too high on the Battery Monitor.
2.DC power cable and/or connections are not suitable to carry the required current. Check the
power cable and all connections and adjust the Battery Monitor on the control panel.
● The Fridge/Freezer is equipped with a multi-level Battery Monitor that protects your vehicle
batteryagainst excessive discharging when the Fridge/Freezer is connected to 12V or 24V DC power
source.
IMPORTANT: When using the Fridge/Freezer with DC power supply, we recommended setting the Battery
Monitor to LOW (L).
NOTE: A battery charger may only be connected to the battery when the Fridge/Freezer has been
disconnected from the DC power source.
● Over-voltage may cause damage to the electronics of the Fridge/Freezer.
● Your Fridge/Freezer is equipped with reverse polarity protection. It protects your Fridge/Freezer against
reverse battery connection and short circuit.
● As a protection for your battery, the Fridge/Freezer switches OFF automatically if the power source
voltage is insufficient.
NOTE: It is important that the correct cable size and gauge is used for the installation of the DC supply
as over distance the voltage can decrease if the incorrect cable size and gauge cable is being
used.
● Always consult a qualified automotive electrician when using a DC extension cable.
Operating your Fridge/Freezer with 110/120V(100-240V) AC
CAUTION: Do not touch cables, plugs or switches with wet hands or when your feet are in contact
with water! If you operate your Fridge/Freezer on board a boat by means of a shore
connection to a 110-120V(100-240V) AC power source, the power connection must
include an earth leakage RCD residual current device.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected from direct sunlight and allows air
to circulate around the cabinet.
Allow hot food to cool down first before you place it into the cabinet.
Do not open or leave the lid open more often than necessary.
If ice forms on the internal walls or lid defrost the appliance.
Select the desired cabinet temperature in relation to the intended use, avoid setting unnecessarily
low temperatures.
This fuction allows the compressor speed to be slowed down to increase operating efficiencies
(ECO) or increase the compressor speed to provide “quick” cool down times (MAX).
The electronic controller has been programmed to maintain an average of the set temperature. The
compressor will start up when the internal cabinet temperature increases 0.5 to 1.5 degrees above
that selected and will run until the temperature is 0.5 to 1.5 degrees below the set temperature.
