5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Cooling Function

The Subcold Pro15 is designed to cool items. It operates using a semiconductor cooling chip, which allows it to cool down to approximately 18°C (64.4°F) below the ambient room temperature. It does not have a heating function or a precise temperature control setting. The cooling performance is influenced by the surrounding temperature.

5.2 Loading Items

For best results, place pre-chilled items into the mini fridge. While the unit can cool items from room temperature, it will take longer. The 15-liter capacity can typically hold up to 18 standard 330ml cans. The internal shelves are removable, allowing for flexible storage of taller bottles or larger items.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
• Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surfaces.
• Ensure the unit is completely dry before plugging it back in.
• Regularly clean the fan and ventilation areas on the back of the unit to prevent dust buildup, which can affect cooling efficiency.

6.2 Defrosting

The Pro15 has a semi-automatic defrost system. Frost buildup may occur on the internal cooling plate, especially in humid environments. If frost becomes excessive (more than 5mm thick), unplug the unit and allow the frost to melt naturally. Wipe away any melted water with a clean cloth before restarting the unit.
