cigarette lighter socket or suitable 12V or 24V
DC power source.
+ The fridge 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 has a reliable DC power
source available. Direct connection to the battery
is recommended and reduces the risk of voltage
dropping to the appliance.
+ Use only the 1.5m DC power cord supplied with
the fridge.
IMPORTANT: If a DC extension cord is required we
recommended use of a 6mm dia. (AWG11) 4.58mm2
Twin Sheath Two Core cord with direct connection to
the positive and negative battery terminals with 15A
inline fuse protection.
+ The fridge 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.
12/24V DC POWER
REQUIREMENTS
If your fridge is cutting out prematurely, it could be
due to:
1. The low voltage protection being set too
high on the Battery Protection.
2. DC power cord and/or connections are
not suitable to carry the required current.
Check the power cord and all connections
and adjust the Battery Protection on the
control panel.
+ The fridge is equipped with a multi-level Battery
Protection that protects your vehicle battery
against excessive discharging when the fridge is
connected to 12V or 24V DC power source.
IMPORTANT: When using the fridge with DC power
supply, we recommended setting the Battery
Protection to LOW.
NOTE: A battery charger may only be connected to
the battery when the fridge has been disconnected
from the DC power source.
+ Over-voltage may cause damage to the
electronics of the fridge.
+ Your fridge is equipped with reverse polarity
protection. It protects your fridge against reverse
battery connection and short circuit.
+ As a protection for your battery, the fridge
switches OFF automatically if the power source
voltage is insufficient.
NOTE: It is important that the correct cord size and
gauge is used for the installation of the DC supply
as over distance the voltage can decrease if the
incorrect cord size and gauge cord is being used.
+ Always consult a qualified automotive electrician
when using a DC extension cord.

When your fridge is first connected to the DC power
input the appliance will automatically switch on
and the LCD control panel will display the current
cabinet temperature, Battery Protection and Cooling
Speed setting as well as the current input voltage.
+ The Temperature Controller provides the ability
to set the desired temperature level and display
the current cabinet temperature. The electronic
controller has been programmed to maintain an
average of the set temperature.
+ The compressor will start up when the internal
cabinet temperatureincreases 0.5 to 1.5 degrees
above the set temperature and will run until the
temperature is 0.5 to 1.5 degrees below the set
temperature.

USING WITH SOLAR PANEL OR
GENERATOR
USING WITH SOLAR PANELS
+ The power consumption and efficiency of
your fridge makes it ideal to be used in
conjunction with solar panels to provide
recharging of the DC power source. 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 fridge 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.
+ We recommend the use of the quality portable
solar panel kits from 100 to 200 watts for use
with your fridge. DO NOT connect the fridge
directly to the solar panel as it will not work.
Connection must be via the battery.
USING PORTABLE
GENERATORS
+ It is important that the your fridge
is never connected directly to a generator. This
fridge is designed to operate directly
from a battery. Using from a generator may
result in damage to your fridge which
may void your appliance warranty.
+ Most generators are fitted with a DC power
output socket - DO NOT connect your fridge
directly to the DC power output of the generator
as this will result in damage to your fridge and
void warranty. Connection must be via the
battery.
+ When charging the battery using a digital or
inverter type generator, 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 generator.
Only run this fridge directly from a battery

OWNERS MANUAL
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
+ Fresh and frozen foods should not be stored right
beside each other in the cabinet. Doing so may
cause a fresh food to freeze and/or spoil.
+ When the appliance is being set at 0° or lower
temperatures, do not store glass bottles or liquids
such as beer, milk, juices or soft drinks in the unit
as these 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 ensures that damage is not
caused by being crushed by heavier items.
+ To improve the efficiency of your fridge
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. When the cabinet is full there is
little air space between the goods so the cold air
is trapped, but when there is lots of air the
coldness cannot be captured and held. On a trip
it is a good idea to replace finished products with
bottles of water or similar. This will fill the empty
spaces and allow the coldness to remain within
the cabinet.
+ Frequent door opening will allow warm air to enter
the cabinet. Keep the number of times you open
the door to a minimum where possible.
+ When located in the rear of a car or trailer, it is
recommended that the appliance be kept away
from direct sunlight to reduce the risk of
increased heat. It should also be provided with
suitable ventilation to guarantee efficient power
consumption and performance. You must
remember that when a vehicle is parked in the sun
on a day where the ambient temperature is
+30°C, the interior of the vehicle can reach
+55°C.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Your fridge will be delivered cleaned from the
factory – you nevertheless should clean prior to
initial use. Take a cloth which has been slightly
moistened with lukewarm water. Pay attention that
no water drops into the seals and possibly damages
the electronics. Dry off the fridge with a cloth after
cleaning. Clean your fridge periodically and as soon
as it is dirty.
ATTENTION:
+ DO NOT use solvents or agents with sand or acid
parts for cleaning your fridge.
+ DO NOT use brushes, graters or hard sharp tools
to clean your fridge.
+ Before cleaning, the power cord should be
disconnected and the fridge switched OFF.
+ Clean the fridge inside and out with a damp cloth.
For stubborn dirt, use some sodium bicarbonate
dissolved in lukewarm water.
+ After washing, rinse with clean water and dry
carefully.
+ When storing your fridge for a long period
of time, DO NOT fully close the lid. This will
prevent mould and odours. For additional queries,
service and maintenance please contact our After
Sales Support 1300 174 876. They will provide
you with expert advice on further information you
