Product Features

Fast Cooling Performance

The KROAK 45L refrigerator is equipped with a powerful compressor that allows for rapid cooling. It can reach temperatures below 0°C in just 15 minutes. In MAX mode, it can achieve -20°C in less than 4 hours, ensuring your items are quickly chilled or frozen.

Dual-Zone System with Removable Divider

This refrigerator features a versatile dual-zone system. With the removable divider, you can create two separate compartments: one for cooling (e.g., beverages at 5°C) and one for freezing (e.g., meat at -18°C). Removing the divider transforms the unit into a single, large 45L space, ideal for bulk storage.

The diagram shows the flexible dual-zone configuration, allowing for simultaneous refrigeration and freezing or a single large compartment.

Enhanced Portability

Designed for convenience, the KROAK refrigerator includes a foldable trolley handle and robust wheels for easy transport. The side handles are non-slip and ergonomically shaped, making it simple to move the unit even across uneven terrain.

Energy-Saving ECO Mode and Versatile Power Options

In ECO mode, the refrigerator consumes only 0.18 kWh per day, making it highly energy-efficient. It can be powered by 12V/24V DC (car/truck) or 100-240V AC (home). An included adapter also allows for connection to solar panels, providing flexible power solutions for any situation.

Setup

1. Unpacking and Initial Placement: Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. For optimal performance and to allow the refrigerant to settle, place the unit upright on a flat, stable surface for at least 12 hours before first use.
2. Attaching Wheels and Handle: If not pre-assembled, attach the robust wheels to the designated slots at the bottom of the refrigerator. Secure the foldable trolley handle according to the instructions provided in the quick start guide.
3. Power Connection:
   • DC Power (12V/24V): Connect the DC power cable to the refrigerator's DC input port and then to your vehicle's 12V or 24V power outlet (e.g., cigarette lighter socket).
   • AC Power (100-240V): Connect the AC adapter to the refrigerator's AC input port, then plug the adapter into a standard 100-240V wall outlet.
4. Installing the Divider: If you wish to use the dual-zone functionality, insert the removable divider into the designated slot inside the main compartment. This will separate the space into two distinct zones for cooling and freezing.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press the power button on the control panel to turn the refrigerator on or off. The display will illuminate when the unit is active.
2. Temperature Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to set your desired temperature. The temperature range is typically from -20°C to +20°C. The display will show the current internal temperature.
3. Mode Selection (MAX/ECO): Press the 'SET' or 'MODE' button to cycle between MAX and ECO modes.
   • MAX Mode: Provides maximum cooling power for rapid temperature reduction. This mode consumes more energy.
   • ECO Mode: Optimizes energy consumption for longer operation, ideal when power efficiency is a priority. Cooling may be slower in this mode.
4. Dual-Zone Management: When the divider is in place, the refrigerator will automatically manage temperatures for the two zones based on your overall setting. The larger compartment typically functions as the primary cooling/freezing zone, while the smaller one maintains a higher temperature suitable for refrigeration.
5. App Control (if applicable): Some models may support Bluetooth app control. Refer to the separate app instructions or product packaging for details on downloading and connecting the app to manage settings remotely.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
• Defrosting: If ice builds up inside, unplug the unit and allow the ice to melt naturally. Wipe away any melted water.
• Ventilation: Periodically check and clean the ventilation openings to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Storage: When storing the refrigerator for extended periods, ensure it is clean, dry, and the lid is slightly ajar to prevent odors and mildew. Store in a cool, dry place.
