2.2 Placement

Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, especially near the compressor vents, to allow for efficient cooling. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.

2.3 Power Connection

The Colku GC60 supports both DC and AC power inputs:

• DC 12V/24V: Connect the DC power cable to the DC input port on the refrigerator and to your vehicle's 12V or 24V power outlet (e.g., cigarette lighter socket).

Ensure the power source matches the required voltage. The unit features an 'Emergency/Normal' switch for power management.

2.4 Reversible Door Installation

The refrigerator lid can be installed to open from either side. To reverse the door, carefully detach the lid from its hinges, rotate it, and reattach it to the desired side. Refer to the diagram for visual guidance.

2.5 Divider Panel

The removable divider panel allows you to create two separate temperature zones (dual zone functionality). Insert the panel into the designated slots inside the compartment to divide the space as needed. This creates a larger section (38L) and a smaller section (17L) for flexible storage.

3.2 Temperature Setting

The temperature can be set between -20°C and +10°C. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to adjust the temperature for each zone (if in dual zone mode). The display will show the set temperature.

3.3 Dual Zone Functionality

When the divider panel is installed, the refrigerator operates in dual zone mode, allowing you to set different temperatures for the freezer and fridge compartments. The freezer typically ranges from -20°C to -10°C, and the fridge from 3°C to 10°C.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Colku GC60, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Not cooling effectively: Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Check if the temperature setting is correct. Make sure the lid is properly closed and sealed. Avoid overfilling the unit, which can restrict airflow.
• Display not working: Check power supply. If the unit is on but the display is off, there might be an internal issue requiring professional assistance.
• Unusual noises: A slight humming from the compressor is normal. Excessive or unusual noises may indicate a problem. Ensure the unit is on a stable surface and not vibrating against other objects.
