3. Setup

Initial Setup and Power Connection

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.
2. Placement: Place the refrigerator on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, especially near the compressor vents. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources to maximize efficiency.
3. Power Connection:
   • DC Power (12V/24V): Connect the provided 12V upgraded DC cord to the refrigerator's DC input port and to your vehicle's 12V outlet or a compatible power source. The upgraded DC cord features a side-entry plug for convenience.
   • AC Power (100-240V): For household use, connect the AC adapter to the refrigerator's AC input port, then plug the AC cable into a standard wall outlet.
   • Magnetic Battery: If using the included 250WH Magnetic Battery, ensure it is charged and connected to the refrigerator's DC input.
4. Initial Cooling: For optimal performance, it is recommended to pre-chill the refrigerator in a cooler environment (e.g., indoors) before loading it with contents and taking it outdoors. This reduces the initial power draw and helps maintain desired temperatures more efficiently.
