4.1 Power Connection

Your EKOJUCE portable fridge/freezer can be powered by either AC (home) or DC (vehicle) power sources.

• AC Power (Home Use): Connect the AC adaptor to the fridge's power input port, then plug the AC adaptor into a standard 120V wall outlet.
• DC Power (Vehicle Use): Connect the DC power cord to the fridge's power input port, then plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket.

4.2 Initial Cooling

For optimal performance, pre-cool the fridge/freezer before loading it with items. This can be done by plugging it in at home or in your vehicle and setting the desired temperature.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Control Panel Overview

The appliance features an intuitive LED control panel for easy temperature adjustment and monitoring. The panel displays current temperatures for both compartments (if applicable for dual zone models) and the current voltage.

To change the temperature, press the '+' or '-' buttons. To switch between compartments (for dual zone models), press the 'Settings' button. The display will blink, allowing you to adjust the temperature for the selected zone.

5.2 Temperature Settings

The temperature range for the EKOJUCE 35L Portable Fridge/Freezer is -4℉ to 68℉ (-20℃ to 20℃). You can set the temperature to function as either a refrigerator or a freezer.

5.3 Energy Modes

The appliance offers two energy modes:

• Max Mode: Provides rapid cooling to quickly reach the desired temperature. This mode consumes more power.
• Eco Mode: Optimizes power consumption for energy efficiency, resulting in slower cooling but extended battery life.

5.4 Battery Protection

The unit includes a three-level battery protection system (L/M/H) to prevent complete depletion of your car battery. If the voltage drops below the set level, the fridge will automatically cut off power to protect your vehicle's battery.

5.5 App Control

For enhanced convenience, the EKOJUCE portable fridge/freezer can be controlled via a dedicated mobile application. Download the app (details in the included manual) to remotely monitor and adjust settings such as temperature and energy mode from your smartphone or tablet.

• Not cooling sufficiently: Ensure the lid is properly sealed, check for obstructions in air vents, verify the temperature setting is appropriate, and consider switching to Max mode for faster cooling.
• Unusual noise: A low humming sound is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive or unusual, check for loose components or obstructions around the fan.
