INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF
YOUR UNIQUE PORTABLE AC/DC
FRIDGE/FREEZER
It is important that your fridge/
freezer is installed and oper-
ated in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions to
guarantee the performance,
efficiency and operation.
• Position the fridge/freezer in
a safe and secure location, out
of the reach of rain/snow and
excessive wind. Prolonged
exposure to heat sources or
direct sunlight can aect the
unit’s performance and e-
ciency.
• The normal operation of the fridge/freezer requires heat to be radi-
ated away from the condensers located in the end of the cabinet.
Ensure the vented areas of the cabinet are kept clear at all times to
allow adequate airflow to the compressor.
• The cooling system has been
designed to continue operat-
ing correctly when the fridge/
freezer is positioned on angles
up to 35˚. It is recommended
that the time the unit is ex-
posed to angles over 30˚ is
limited to no more than four
(4) hours continuous opera-
tion.
IMPORTANT: After transit where the fridge/freezer is on
its side or back, ensure fridge/freezer is in a level, up-
right position for 3-4 hours to allow compressor fluids
to redistribute evenly before use.

DEFROSTING THE CABINET
If your appliance is being used primarily as a freezer, it is possible
that an ice build-up on the interior may occur. This build up can af-
fect the performance and eciency of the cooling system and must
be removed.
Do not use pointed tools, knives or sharp utensils, or significant force
to remove the ice as this may result in damage to the unit. Turn the
fridge/freezer o and empty the cabinet of food/drinks. Allow the
ice to melt and then drain the water from the cabinet. Use a soft,
clean cloth to wipe down all surfaces and allow the fridge/freezer to
dry completely.
IMPORTANT
This fridge/freezer is not intended for use by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are under supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the fridge/freezer by a person
responsible for their safety.
• This is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with or within the
fridge/freezer.
• The fridge/freezer is suitable for outdoor and camping use and
should not be exposed to rain or snow or other inclement weather.

12/24V DC BATTERY MANAGEMENT
SETTINGS
The Unique UGP-60L, UGP-80L and UGP-120L portable fridge/freez-
ers are equipped with a multi-level INPUT VOLTAGE battery setting
that protects your vehicle battery from excessive discharge (drain-
ing) when the fridge/freezer is connected to the 12V/24V DC input
power source.
As the fridge/freezer is operating, if the power source voltage falls
below the set battery voltage level, it will automatically switch o
and an audible beeping will be heard. This may occur in a vehicle
when the ignition is switched o.
The fridge/freezer will automatically switch back on once the vehicle
has been restarted and the battery has been recharged to above the
cut-in level of the set battery voltage.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to set the INPUT BATTERY VOLTAGE to 10.9V
when using the fridge/freezer with 12V DC input power source.

EXPRESS COOL DOWN
(not recommended for solar/battery use)
The Unique UGP-60L, UGP-80L and UGP-120L portable fridge/freez-
ers are equipped with a multi-level compressor speed function that
allows the compressor speed to increase when faster cabinet cool
down times are required.
Press and hold the DOWN button for 2 seconds to enter the high
speed mode. A snowflake icon will appear in the top right hand cor-
ner of the display to confirm the compressor is operating at maxi-
mum speed.
To reset the fridge/freezer to its normal speed, press the UP button
for 2 seconds, the snowflake icon will disappear and the compressor
will enter its normal speed mode.
ECONOMY: (Compressor Speed
Slow) This mode reduces power
consumption and is used in the

USING SOLAR PANELS
The power consumption and eciency of your Unique UGP-60L,
UGP-80L and UGP-120L portable fridge/freezer makes it ideal to be
used in conjunction with solar panels to provide recharging of the
DC supply. The Unique Portable Solar Panel system (UGP-100WSP)
was
designed for easy use with the fridge/freezer’s DC supply.
Solar panels will provide charge into the battery during the daylight
hours even while the appliance is operating.
As the output from solar panels changes depending on the level of
sunlight and intensity, your UGP-60L/UGP-80L/UGP-120L portable
fridge/freezer cannot be connected directly to the solar panels.
The appliance must be connected to a suitable DC battery and then
the solar panels connected to the battery.
OR OR
CONNECTING TO A BATTERY
Your DC fridge/freezer can run o a single 12V or 24V power supply.
When connecting to a 12V battery, ensure that the supplied connec-
tion wires are used. Connect the positive wire (red) to the positive
terminal on the battery and the negative wire (black) to the negative
terminal on the battery. Please ensure that your deep cycle battery
is fully charged and is properly connected to the Unique Portable
Solar Panel system (UGP-100WSP) or a power generator.

14
USING PORTABLE GENERATORS
It is important that the correct generator is used with your UGP-
60L/UGP-80L/UGP-120L portable fridge/freezer. An incorrect gen-
erator may result in reduced performance or damage to your appli-
ance which may void your appliance’s warranty.
If connecting directly to an AC generator, ensure that only a digital
or inverter type generator is used. These provide a more reliable
and constant 110V AC output and are specifically designed to power
electronic and other power sensitive appliances.
When charging the battery using a digital or inverter type genera-
tor, we recommend only using a ‘smart battery charger’ that is fully
automatic, spark proof and reverse polarity protected. The battery
charger is connected directly to the AC power output of the genera-
tor.

15
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
• Fresh and frozen foods should not be stored together. Frozen
surfaces can cause frost damage on fresh foods which can then
lead to spoilage. It is best to put an insulating layer between these
goods or to organize them into separate compartments.
• When the appliance is being set at 0˚C / 32˚F or lower, do not
store glass bottles or liquids such as beer, wine, juices or soft
drinks in the unit as they may freeze and shatter.
• Items such as fruit and vegetables should be stored closer to the
top of the cabinet as this area is normally slightly warmer. This will
reduce the risk of spoiling and ensure that delicate fresh foods are
not crushed by heavier frozen items.
• To improve the eciency of your UGP-60L/UGP-80L/UGP-120L
portable fridge/freezer it is better to have the cabinet as full as
possible at all times. A full cabinet will provide lower power con-
sumption over 24 hours than a half-empty one, as chilled and
frozen food help maintain temperature eciency.
• Make your selection of what you wish to remove from the cabinet
before you open the door. This will reduce the amount of warm air
that will enter the cabinet while the door is open, and help main-
tain energy and temperature eciency.
• When located in the rear of a vehicle, it is recommended that the
fridge/freezer be shaded from direct sunlight to reduce the risk of
increased heat. It should also be provided with suitable ventilation
to guarantee ecient power consumption and performance.
*Remember: when a vehicle is parked in the sun on a day where the ambient temperature is +30˚C/86˚F, the interior of the vehicle
can reach more than +55˚C/131˚F.
