Loading
A battery-powered refrigeration appliance has a cooling capacity lower than typical AC units.
Because the compressor is small, the unit runs more efficiently, but lacks the ability to cool
large, warm loads quickly. Keeping a gallon or two of water in the refrigerator can help cool
large loads quicker. It will also help to cool your food quicker if your food is packaged in
smaller containers rather than large ones. Food packages more than 2 inches thick will cool
slowly. Avoid placing warm foodstuff in contact with cold foodstuff.
This appliance is designed for domestic use only! Specifically for the storage of food and drinks
(foodstuff). It is not intended for commercial or industrial use. Do not store any poisonous items
in the refrigerator, or flammable items near the refrigerator.
Cleaning
If there is any chance of spilling liquid on an electrical component, it is recommended to
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power supply. Wash the cabinet with warm water
and a mild soap or detergent. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, chemical
cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring sponges to complete this task as it may cause damage to
the surfaces.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. When the ice becomes
very thick on the inner liner (>1”), complete defrosting should be carried out.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape or chip off frost from the interior compartment as this
could damage the appliance beyond repair. Do not use heat sources, such as electric or gas
heaters to complete the defrost process.
To carry out complete defrosting:
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.
2. Have several dry towels or sponges and a bucket ready to collect the melting ice.
3. Remove any stored frozen food and store in refrigerator compartment or in a cooler, or wrap
in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.
4. Use a fan and/or warm moist towel to melt the ice in the freezer compartment. Do not use a
sharp object like an ice pick. Leave the refrigerator door closed
5. When defrosting is complete, wash and dry the interior thoroughly.
6. Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and leave running (while empty) for 1 hour
or until the internal freezer temperature is below –5C.
7. Replace the previously removed foodstuff.
