2. Setup

2.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is found, do not use the appliance and contact customer support immediately.

2.2 Initial Placement

After unpacking, place the refrigerator upright on a flat, stable surface for at least 12 hours before plugging it in. This allows the compressor fluids to settle, ensuring proper operation and longevity of the unit.

2.3 Power Connection

Your CRPRO refrigerator supports both 12V/24V DC and 100-240V AC power inputs. Use the appropriate power cord provided for your desired power source.

• DC Power: Connect the 12V/24V DC power cord (10.82 ft) to the refrigerator's DC input port and then to your vehicle's 12V/24V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
• AC Power: Connect the 100-240V AC adapter (6.56 ft) to the refrigerator's AC input port and then to a standard wall socket or compatible power station.
