4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove the cooler from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any protective films or tapes.
- Clean the interior and exterior of the cooler with a damp cloth before first use.
- Allow the cooler to stand upright for at least 6 hours before connecting it to power. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
4.2 Power Connection
The cooler can be powered by either AC (home/mains) or DC (vehicle) power.
- AC Power (100-240V): Connect the AC power cable to the cooler's AC input port, then plug the other end into a standard wall outlet.
- DC Power (12V/24V): Connect the DC power cable to the cooler's DC input port, then plug the other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket or a 12V/24V power source.
Note: The cooler will automatically detect the input voltage. It is recommended to pre-cool the unit at home using AC power before transferring it to your vehicle for travel.
4.3 Door Reversal (Optional)
The cooler features a removable and reversible door. If you wish to change the door opening direction, carefully detach the door from its hinges and reattach it on the opposite side. Refer to the specific instructions in the included manual for detailed steps on door reversal.
5. Operating Instructions

The cooler is equipped with an intuitive LCD control panel. It typically includes:
- Power Button: To turn the cooler ON/OFF.
- SET Button: To enter temperature setting mode or change other settings.
- UP/DOWN Buttons: To adjust temperature or navigate settings.
- LCD Display: Shows current temperature, set temperature, and operating status.
5.2 Powering On/Off
Press the Power Button once to turn the cooler ON. The LCD display will illuminate and show the current internal temperature. Press and hold the Power Button for a few seconds to turn the cooler OFF.
5.3 Temperature Adjustment
- With the cooler ON, press the SET button. The temperature display will flash.
- Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the desired temperature between -20°C and 20°C.
- Press the SET button again or wait a few seconds for the setting to be saved. The display will return to showing the current internal temperature.
5.4 MAX/ECO Mode Selection
The cooler offers two operating modes:
- MAX Mode: Provides maximum cooling power for rapid temperature reduction, ideal for hot conditions or when quick cooling is needed.
- ECO Mode: Reduces energy consumption, suitable for maintaining temperature over longer periods or when power efficiency is a priority.
To switch between modes, press the SET button repeatedly until the MAX or ECO indicator appears on the display, then use the UP/DOWN buttons to select your desired mode.
5.5 Battery Protection Mode (H/M/L)
This feature prevents your vehicle's battery from being fully discharged. There are three settings:
- H (High): Highest protection, cooler will cut off at a higher battery voltage.
- M (Medium): Medium protection.
- L (Low): Lowest protection, cooler will cut off at a lower battery voltage, allowing longer operation but with higher risk to battery.
To adjust the battery protection mode, press and hold the SET button for a few seconds until the battery icon flashes, then use the UP/DOWN buttons to select H, M, or L. Release the SET button to confirm.
5.6 General Usage Tips
- For best results, pre-cool the cooler before loading items.
