6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Control Panel
The control panel allows you to manage the refrigerator's settings. It typically includes a power button, setting button, and temperature adjustment buttons.
Figure 6.1: EENOUR D18 Control Panel.
6.2 Power On/Off
- Press the Power Button () to turn the unit on or off.
6.3 Temperature Setting
- Use the + and - buttons to adjust the desired temperature. The display will show the set temperature.
- The temperature range is from -4°F to 50°F (-20°C to 10°C).
6.4 Cooling Modes (MAX/ECO)
The refrigerator offers two cooling modes:
- MAX Mode: Provides faster cooling with a power consumption of approximately 38W. Ideal for quickly reaching the desired temperature.
- ECO Mode: Optimizes for power saving with a consumption of approximately 25W. Suitable for maintaining temperature over longer periods, especially when battery powered.
To switch between modes, press the Settings Button () repeatedly until the desired mode is displayed.
Figure 6.2: Power consumption comparison between ECO and MAX modes.
6.5 3-Level Vehicle Battery Protection
This feature prevents your vehicle's battery from being depleted when the refrigerator is powered by the car. You can select one of three protection levels:
- High: Retains the most power for your vehicle's battery. The refrigerator will shut off at a higher voltage threshold.
- Medium: A balanced setting.
- Low: Allows the refrigerator to run longer, but with less reserve power for your vehicle's battery.
To adjust the battery protection level, press and hold the Settings Button () until the battery icon flashes, then use the + or - buttons to select the desired level.
