3. Setup

3.1 Unboxing and Initial Placement

Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Place the unit on a stable, level surface, ensuring adequate space for ventilation around all sides. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 6 hours before connecting to power, especially if it was transported horizontally.

3.2 Power Connection

The VL35 ProS supports both AC and DC power inputs. The unit includes an AC power cord and a DC power cord.

• AC Power (110-240V): Connect the AC power cord to the designated AC port on the refrigerator and then to a standard wall outlet. This is ideal for pre-cooling the unit at home.
• DC Power (12/24V): Connect the DC power cord to one of the two DC ports on the refrigerator and then to your vehicle's 12V or 24V power outlet.

3.3 Pre-cooling

For optimal performance, it is recommended to pre-cool the refrigerator using AC power at home before transferring it to a vehicle or outdoor setting. This reduces the initial power draw from your vehicle's battery or portable power source.

3.4 Lid Orientation

The lid of the VL35 ProS is designed for multi-directional opening. You can easily change the opening direction of the lid without requiring tools or reassembly. This feature allows for convenient access in various tight spaces, such as inside a vehicle.
