Setup

1. Placement

Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate space (at least 10 cm) around all sides for proper ventilation. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.

2. Power Connection

The refrigerator supports three power input methods:

• DC 12V/24V (Vehicle Use): Connect the DC power cord to the refrigerator's DC input port and then to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
• AC 100V (Home Use): Connect the AC adapter to the refrigerator's AC input port, then plug the AC power cord into a standard 100V wall outlet.
• Portable Power Source: The refrigerator can also be powered by compatible portable power stations using either the DC or AC connection methods.

3. Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before plugging it in.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

Press the On/Off button on the control panel to turn the refrigerator on or off. The digital display will illuminate when powered on.

2. Temperature Adjustment (Dual Zone)

The refrigerator has two independent compartments. You can set different temperatures for each:

• Press the Setting button to select the desired compartment (Big Box or Small Box).
• Use the + and - buttons to adjust the temperature. The temperature range is -20°C to 10°C.
• The display will show the set temperature, then revert to the current internal temperature after a few seconds.

3. Mode Selection (MAX/ECO)

The refrigerator offers two operating modes:

• MAX Mode (80W): Provides rapid cooling and freezing. Use this mode when you need to quickly reach the desired temperature.
• ECO Mode (40W): Optimizes energy consumption for longer operation. Use this mode for maintaining temperatures once the desired level is reached.
• To switch modes, press the Setting button until the mode indicator (MAX or ECO) flashes, then use + or - to select.

4. Battery Protection Settings

This feature prevents your vehicle's battery from draining. You can choose from three protection levels:

• H (High): Highest protection, cuts off power at a higher voltage.
• M (Medium): Moderate protection.
• L (Low): Lowest protection, allows the refrigerator to run longer before cut-off.

To adjust the battery protection level, press and hold the Setting button for 3 seconds until the battery icon flashes, then use + or - to select H, M, or L. The recommended setting for most vehicles is M.
