6. Operation
Temperature Control
The VL45 allows precise temperature control from 0°F to 50°F (-18°C to 10°C). Use the control panel to set your desired temperature. The unit features two cooling rate modes:
- MAX Mode: For rapid cooling, ideal when initially loading warm items or in hot environments.
- MIN Mode: For energy-efficient operation, suitable for maintaining temperature once the desired level is reached.
Battery Protection Settings
To prevent your vehicle's battery from being depleted, the VL45 includes a 3-level battery protection system. Select the appropriate level based on your battery type and usage:
- HIGH: Provides maximum battery protection, shutting off the unit at a higher voltage threshold.
- MEDIUM: A balanced setting for general use.
- LOW: Allows the unit to run longer, suitable for robust battery systems or when connected to an auxiliary power source.
The refrigerator will automatically power off when the battery voltage drops below the selected threshold and restart when the voltage recovers.
7. Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene. Disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water to wipe the interior and exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is completely dry before reconnecting power or storing.
Storage
When storing the refrigerator for extended periods, ensure it is clean and dry. Leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
