  A built-in LED light illuminates the interior, making it easy to see and retrieve items, especially in low light conditions.

  

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the efficiency and longevity of your car refrigerator.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Defrosting: If ice builds up, turn off the refrigerator and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wipe away excess water with a clean cloth.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation grilles are free from dust and debris to maintain proper airflow for the compressor.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, clean the refrigerator thoroughly, leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent odors, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your refrigerator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Refrigerator not turning on:
  Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the refrigerator and the car's cigarette lighter outlet. Ensure the car's power outlet is functioning.
• Refrigerator not cooling:
  Verify that the temperature setting is appropriate. Check if the ventilation openings are blocked. Ensure the car's engine is running or the car's 12V/16V power supply is active.
• Unusual noises:
  A slight humming sound from the compressor is normal. If you hear loud or unusual noises, ensure the refrigerator is stable and not vibrating against other objects.
• Digital display not working:
  Try turning the unit off and on again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

9. User Tips

Here are some helpful tips for using your TEMAI GLACIER Car Refrigerator:

• Pre-chill items: For best results, pre-chill items in a home refrigerator before placing them in the car refrigerator, especially for long trips.
• Optimize space: Utilize the optional dividing shelf to organize different types of items, such as beverages and fruits, for easy access.
• Check compatibility: While designed for the Tesla Model Y, always confirm fitment, especially if you have specific configurations like a 7-seater model, as trunk space might vary.
• Power consumption: The refrigerator is designed for efficient power use (under 0.5kWh for 24-hour operation). However, for extended use with the car off, monitor your car's battery or consider a portable power station.
