3. Product Features
The AAOBOSI Car Refrigerator is equipped with several features designed for convenience and performance:
- Dual Zone with Independent Temperature Control: Two separate compartments allow for simultaneous refrigeration and freezing, with individual temperature settings ranging from 68°F (20°C) to -4°F (-20°C).
- Fast Cooling Technology: Utilizes compressor refrigeration to cool rapidly, reaching 32°F (0°C) in approximately 15 minutes when empty, and its lowest temperature of -4°F (-20°C) in about an hour.
- Anti-Shaking Design: Engineered to maintain stable operation even on uneven roads or inclines up to 30 degrees, making it suitable for off-road use.
- Low Noise Operation: Designed to run quietly, ensuring minimal disturbance during use.
- H/M/L Voltage Protection: Features a 3-level battery protection system to prevent car battery drain, automatically shutting down when the battery voltage is low.
- Smart Touch Screen Control: Intuitive control panel for easy temperature adjustment and mode selection (MAX for fast cooling, ECO for energy saving).
- App Control: Connect via a mobile application to remotely monitor and adjust settings.
- Optimal Design: Includes a retractable trolley bar and handle for easy portability, durable wheels, a built-in light for visibility, a USB charging port, and an integrated bottle opener.

4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your AAOBOSI Car Refrigerator:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the refrigerator on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 4 inches or 10 cm clearance on all sides) to allow for proper heat dissipation. Avoid placing it directly against walls or in enclosed spaces.
- Power Connection:
- DC Power (12V/24V): Connect the DC power cord to the refrigerator's DC input port and then to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket or a compatible 12V/24V power source.
- AC Power (100-240V): For home or standard outlet use, connect the AC power adapter to the refrigerator's AC input port, and then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet.
- Initial Use: For optimal performance, it is recommended to pre-cool the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before loading items.

5. Operating Instructions
Operating your AAOBOSI Car Refrigerator is straightforward:
- Power On/Off: Press the power button on the control panel to turn the unit on or off.
- Temperature Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to set the desired temperature for each zone. The digital display will show the current and target temperatures.
- Mode Selection (MAX/ECO): Press the mode button to switch between MAX (Fast Cooling) and ECO (Energy Saving) modes. MAX mode provides quicker cooling, while ECO mode conserves power.
- Voltage Protection Setting: The refrigerator features three levels of battery protection (H - High, M - Medium, L - Low) to prevent your vehicle's battery from draining. Select the appropriate level based on your battery type and usage. Refer to the table below for voltage thresholds.
- App Control: Download the official AAOBOSI app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your device with the refrigerator via Bluetooth. Once connected, you can control temperatures, switch modes, and monitor battery voltage remotely.
- Loading Items: For best cooling efficiency, avoid overfilling the compartments. Ensure items do not block the internal air circulation vents.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your refrigerator:
- Cleaning:
- Disconnect the power before cleaning.
- Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or sharp objects, as these can damage the surfaces.
- Ensure the unit is completely dry before reconnecting power.
- Defrosting: The refrigerator features an automatic defrost system. If a significant layer of ice builds up, manually defrost by turning off the unit and allowing the ice to melt naturally. Wipe away melted water with a clean cloth.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, clean the refrigerator thoroughly, leave the lids slightly ajar to prevent odors, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area.
