4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. Keep all packaging materials until you are satisfied with the product.

4.2 Power Connection

Your BODEGACOOLER can be powered by either DC (12V/24V) or AC (100-240V) power sources. Ensure the power source matches the refrigerator's requirements.

• DC Power (12V/24V): Use the provided cigarette lighter connector. Plug one end into the refrigerator's DC input port and the other into your vehicle's 12V/24V outlet.
• AC Power (100-240V): Use the provided wall plug and wall plug adapter. Connect the adapter to the refrigerator's AC input port, then plug the wall plug into a standard household outlet.

4.3 Initial Cooling

For optimal performance, it is recommended to pre-cool the refrigerator before loading it with food, especially frozen items. Plug in the unit and allow it to reach your desired temperature setting before adding contents.

5.3 Mode Selection (Max/Eco)

Press the 'Settings' button to cycle through cooling modes: Max (for rapid cooling) and Eco (for energy efficiency).

5.4 Battery Protection Settings

The refrigerator offers three levels of battery protection (H/M/L) to prevent excessive discharge of your vehicle's battery. Adjust this setting based on your battery type and usage needs.

5.5 APP Control

Download the "CAR FRIDGE FREEZER" app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your refrigerator via Wi-Fi. The app allows you to:

• Monitor current temperatures of both zones.
• Adjust temperature settings remotely.
• Switch between Max and Eco modes.
• View battery voltage and protection level.
• Lock/unlock the control panel.

5.6 Using Dual Zones

The two zones can be set to different temperatures (e.g., one as a freezer, one as a fridge). To use as a single large zone, simply remove the internal divider.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
• Clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and warm water.
• Use the bottom drain hole to easily remove water after cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure all parts are dry before plugging the unit back in.

6.2 Storage

When storing the refrigerator for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry. Leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BODEGACOOLER, refer to the common problems and solutions below. For further assistance, contact customer support.

• Why doesn't everything in the fridge freeze for two days?
  If you put ice cream, pasta, meat, dumplings, and other food in the refrigerator, it will take a long time to freeze (generally 3-6 days), and these foods will absorb more cold. Switch to -20℃ (-4℉) and fast refrigeration mode, and ensure the heat dissipation port is not blocked. Pay attention to the ambient temperature, which should not exceed 30℃ (86℉), otherwise the refrigeration effect will be affected. Please continue to turn on the machine for observation.
• Why does the temperature not reach the setting temperature for several days when it is set at -20℃ or -4℉?
  If the refrigerator boot time is not long or more than two-thirds of the food storage, the refrigerator cooling is slow. If the boot time is not enough, or the air conditioning is not stable, air conditioning is the priority to cold food, things are not frozen, so it cannot quickly reach the set temperature. First empty the refrigerator and test the lowest temperature of the refrigerator at the ambient temperature of 25℃ (77℉).
• Why is the refrigerator so loud?
  1. When the refrigerator is compressed, it will produce current sound, such as "buzz" sound, which should be in normal phenomenon.
  2. "Rustling sound": when the refrigerator is refrigerated, the refrigerant will be sprayed to the evaporator by the capillary road, so it will produce "rustling sound", not leakage refrigerant or noise.
  3. The refrigerant in the pipeline flow will produce the sound of water; this phenomenon needs to be normal.
  The above sounds are within the range of 45dB or less. If it affects sleep or life, the refrigerator can be placed 5 meters away for use.
• App connectivity issues: Ensure your phone's Wi-Fi is enabled and the refrigerator is powered on. Follow the app's pairing instructions carefully. Some users reported issues with app functionality; ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
• Battery drain concerns: Utilize the H/M/L battery protection settings to prevent your vehicle's battery from draining too low. The refrigerator will automatically shut off if the battery voltage drops below the set threshold.
