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.

4
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 using the drain
plugs. 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.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Unique UGP-80L1 W portable fridge/freezers are designed to
operate on AC and DC voltage inputs.
AC input Voltage is required to be 110V AC at 50 - 60 Hz
DC input Voltage is required to be 12 or 24 DC +/- 10%
AC/DC Convertor is 12V
AC POWER CONNECTION
The Unique UGP-80L1 W portable fridge/freezers are supplied with
an approved 2 pin AC power cord. It is recommended that this cord
is not lengthened as this may result in a voltage drop and reduced
performance.
DC POWER CONNECTION
EMERGENCY OVERIDE
The Unique UGP-80L1 W portable fridge/freezers are supplied with
a vehicle DC plug (cigarette lighter plug). It is recommended that
this cord is not lengthened as this may result in a voltage drop and
reduced performance.
When connecting the fridge/freezer to DC, plug the power cord into
the DC socket on the fridge/freezer and then plug the other end of
the power cord into the DC supply.
The supplied DC power cord comes with an in-line fuse. If the red
indicator light on the DC cigarette plug is not illuminated, there is
either no DC voltage being supplied or the fuse is blown. See below
for fuse replacement instructions.
*Only use the DC power cord that is supplied with the fridge/freezer.
The emergency switch is located above the power inlet socket on
the side of the unit. If the digital thermostat fails and you are un-
able to set the temperature, turn this switch to Emergency override.
This enables the fridge to run until you reach a service centre to
replace the faulty component.
NOTE: If the switch is in the “ EMERGENCY OVERRIDE” position,
the fridge/compressor will run with full cooling capacity and may
freeze. This will only freeze the zone of the fridge that is currently
turned on before flicking the emergency override switch.

REPLACING THE FUSE

2-3
4-5
The Unique UGP-80L1 W portable fridge/freezers are supplied with
2 additional replacement 10A fuses for the adaptor. These can be
found in a plastic bag attached to the cord. If the indicator light on
the DC power cord is not illuminated, it could mean that the fuse has
blown. Here is how to replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the black
plastic end cap from
the DC power plug.
2. Unscrew the metal
threaded tip of the DC
power plug to expose
the cylindrical 10 amp
fuse.
3. Remove blown fuse and
replace with a new fuse.
4. Replace metal threaded
tip of DC power plug and
screw back into place.
5. Replace black plastic
end cap of the DC power
plug and screw into
place.

USING SOLAR PANELS
The power consumption and eciency of your Unique UGP-80L1 W
portable fridge/freezer makes it ideal to be used in conjunction with
solar panels to provide recharging of the DC supply. The Unique Por-
table Solar Panel system (UGP-100WSPB and/or UGP-120WSP) 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-80L1 W 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 pan-
els 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 So-
lar Panel system (UGP-100WSPB and/or UGP-120WSP) or a power
generator.
12V
RED BLACK NOTE: if you use 24V
to power your unit ie:
batteries, the cigarette
socket will output 24V.
Input = Output.

13
USING PORTABLE GENERATORS
It is important that the correct generator is used with your UGP-
UGP-80L1 W portable fridge/freezer. An incorrect generator may
result in reduced performance or damage to your appliance 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.

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-80L1 W portable fridge/
freezer it is better to have the cabinet as full as possible at all
times. A full cabinet will provide lower power consumption over 24
hours than a half-empty one, as chilled and frozen food help main-
tain 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.
