3. Setup
Initial Setup
- Unpack the Alpicool LGT60 and remove all packaging materials.
- Place the unit on a flat, stable surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around all sides, especially near the compressor vent.
- Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 6 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
- Clean the interior of the unit with a damp cloth and mild detergent before first use.
Power Connection
The Alpicool LGT60 can be powered by both DC and AC sources:
- DC Power (12V/24V): Use the provided DC power cord to connect the unit to your vehicle's 12V or 24V power outlet (e.g., cigarette lighter socket). The unit features a 3-stage battery protection system to prevent excessive discharge of your vehicle's battery.
- AC Power (110-240V): Use the provided AC adapter to connect the unit to a standard household power outlet.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and the power source.
4. Operating Instructions
Control Panel Operation
The digital control panel allows for easy temperature adjustment and mode selection:
- Power Button: Press to turn the unit ON/OFF.
- Temperature Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired temperature for each zone. The temperature range is -4°F to 50°F (-20°C to +10°C).
- Mode Selection:
- HH (Max) Mode: Provides rapid cooling for quick temperature reduction.
- ECO Mode: Optimizes energy consumption for extended battery life.
- Battery Indicator: Displays the current battery level of the connected power source.

Dual-Zone Functionality
The LGT60 features a detachable sensor divider, allowing you to configure the unit for either single or dual temperature zones. When the divider is in place, each compartment can be set to a different temperature, functioning as a fridge and a freezer simultaneously. The control panel clearly indicates which temperature setting corresponds to which zone (e.g., square icon for the larger compartment, L-shaped icon for the smaller compartment near the compressor).
Internal Storage
The unit includes two complete removable wire baskets, one for each compartment. These baskets allow for easy organization and retrieval of items, preventing smaller items from getting lost at the bottom of the cooler. The larger compartment also features a drain plug at the bottom for easy cleaning.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the unit with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
- Defrosting: If ice builds up inside, turn off the unit and allow the ice to melt naturally. Use the drain plug in the larger compartment to remove melted water.
- Ventilation: Keep the ventilation grilles clear of dust and debris to ensure efficient operation of the compressor.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the unit is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place with the lid slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
