• M (Medium): Moderate protection (e.g., 11.4V DC ON, 10.4V DC OFF).
• L (Low): Lowest protection, unit operates longer before shutting off (e.g., 10.9V DC ON, 8.5V DC OFF).

Maintenance

• Cleaning:
  • Disconnect the unit from all power sources before cleaning.
  • Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the unit is completely dry before reconnecting power.
• Defrosting: The unit features an automatic defrost system. If excessive ice buildup occurs, manually defrost by turning off the unit and allowing the ice to melt naturally. Drain any water through the drain plug.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the unit is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place with the lid slightly ajar to prevent odors.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EUHOMY car refrigerator, refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit Not Turning On:
  • Check power connections (AC adaptor, DC cord, or battery). Ensure they are securely plugged in.
  • Verify the power source is active (e.g., vehicle engine running for DC power, wall outlet functioning).
  • If using battery, check battery charge level.
• Not Cooling Effectively:
  • Ensure the lid is properly sealed.
  • Check the set temperature on the control panel or app.
  • Verify the cooling mode (MAX mode cools faster).
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit; clear any obstructions from vents.
  • Avoid placing hot items directly into the unit.
