3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the Setpower PT35 from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.

3.2 Power Connection

The PT35 can be powered by either a 12/24V DC power source (e.g., car cigarette lighter socket) or a 110/240V AC power source (e.g., standard wall outlet) using the included AC adapter.

• DC Power (12/24V): Connect the 12/24V DC power cable to the DC input port on the refrigerator and then to your vehicle's power outlet.
• AC Power (110/240V): Connect the AC adapter to the AC input port on the refrigerator, then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet.

3.3 Initial Operation

After connecting to a power source, press the power button on the control panel to turn on the unit. The display will illuminate, showing the current temperatures of both zones. Allow the unit to cool down for approximately 15-30 minutes before loading items, especially if setting to freezing temperatures.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Control Panel Overview

The control panel features an LCD display for each zone, temperature adjustment buttons (up/down arrows), a SET button, and buttons for MAX/ECO cooling modes and battery protection settings.

4.2 Temperature Adjustment

To adjust the temperature for each zone:

1. Press the 'SET' button for the desired zone (Left Bin or Right Bin). The temperature display will flash.
2. Use the up or down arrow buttons to set the desired temperature.
3. Press 'SET' again or wait a few seconds for the setting to be saved.

The temperature range is 0℉ to 50℉ (-18℃ to 10℃). The PT35 features a true dual-zone design, allowing one compartment to function as a freezer and the other as a refrigerator simultaneously, or both as either.

4.3 Cooling Modes (MAX/ECO)

The PT35 offers two cooling modes:

• MAX Mode: Provides rapid cooling, ideal for quickly reaching desired temperatures. Power consumption is typically less than 52W/H.
• ECO Mode: Offers energy-efficient operation, consuming less than 35W/H, suitable for maintaining temperatures over longer periods.

To switch between modes, press the 'MAX/ECO' button on the control panel.

4.4 Battery Protection

The unit is equipped with a 3-stage battery monitor to prevent over-discharging of your vehicle's battery. You can select the protection level (High, Medium, Low) based on your battery type and usage needs. Refer to the control panel for specific voltage cut-off points for each level.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and longevity of your refrigerator.

• Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
• Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surfaces.
• Ensure the unit is completely dry before reconnecting power.

5.2 Ventilation

Periodically check that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris to ensure efficient cooling. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently clean the vents.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Setpower PT35, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit does not power on: Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the power source. Verify that the power source (vehicle outlet or wall socket) is functional.
• Unit is not cooling: Ensure the temperature settings are correctly configured. Check if the ventilation openings are clear. If using DC power, verify the battery protection setting is not too high, which might cause the unit to shut off prematurely if the battery voltage drops.
• Unusual noise: A slight humming sound from the compressor is normal. If you hear loud or unusual noises, ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface and not touching any objects that could vibrate.
• Error codes on display: If an error code appears, disconnect power for a few minutes and then reconnect. If the error persists, contact customer support.
