HANDLE INSTALLATION

Components:

• Left Handle x 2
• Right Handle x 2
• Tube x 2
• Screws x 8
• Allen Key x 1

Steps:

1. Attach the handle parts to the sides of the refrigerator using screws.
2. Slide the tube through the handle parts.
3. Secure the handle assembly with screws.

3.2 USE

Plug in the DC or AC power. Press the ON/OFF button to run the refrigerator. The LED display on the control panel will light up and the interior temperature will be displayed.

Press the ⊖ button and ⊕ button to adjust the temperature. Press the ⊕ button to increase while the ⊖ button to decrease the temperature. When pressing the ⊖ and ⊕ buttons at the same time, it would switch the display between °C and °F.

Press the MAX/ECO button to enter the "ECONOMY" operating mode: the ECO light turns on and the compressor runs at minimum speed by keeping a fresh temperature inside the refrigerator. By pressing the MAX/ECO button again, the light turns off and the refrigerator enters in MAX mode (maximum number of compressor turns). MAX light will be switched on until having achieved the temperature set.

When the appliance is on, press the ⊖ and ⊕ buttons at the same time to switch back and forth between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

TIPS

1. Use the product in MAX mode in these cases:
   • Use of the product as refrigerator with high ambient temperature;
   • When the suitable temperature needs to be achieved in a short time.
2. Use the product in ECO mode in these cases:
   • Use of the product as refrigerator and, in particular, with low ambient temperature;
   • When the vehicle is parked for long time (with engine switched off)

USING THE REFRIGERATOR IN A VEHICLE

Connect the feeding cable to a direct current 12 or 24 V DC power source. Make sure the polarity is right.

The supply line is protected by a 15 A fuse located on the box.

If connected to an existing cigarette plug, carefully check that the power supply is sufficient.

If the supplied power cable is not used, refer to the table for information related to the cable section:

CUT IN / CUT OUT

• Your fridge has built-in battery protection and needs a minimum 10.9 V to start and 9.6 V to continue operating.
• During operation, a load is placed on the power supply and voltage can drop by as much as 2 V, especially if the wiring is insufficient (less than 6mm direct to battery) or if there is a loose connection somewhere.
• If this occurs when you try to start your SetPower and the power supply drops under 10.9 V, it will not start.
• If this occurs when your SetPower is running and the power supply drops below 9.6 V, it will stop.

COMMON 12V POWER SUPPLY ISSUES

Wiring

Often the standard wiring from the car battery to the 12V outlet is too small. A minimum 6mm automotive wiring should be used and the earth should be wired directly back to the battery.

Battery

The car battery could be old, undersized, or have a dead cell causing too much voltage drop.

Connections

The 12 V plug, car 12 V socket, or any of the connections between the fridge and the battery could be faulty or have come loose since installation.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR AT HOME

This model can be fed equally using 12/24V or mains power 110-120V (100-240V) AC.

Can connect with 110-120V (100-240V) AC with AC Adapter.

The refrigerator is provided with automatic switch over from one kind of feeding to the other. Should both be present at the same time, the device will always set itself on mains power priority feeding by 110-120V (100-240V) AC.

4. ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Compressor station

Functions and features.

This is an electronic device which has the function of piloting the motor of the compressor and carrying out all the controls and electrical protection of the system.

Its main features are as follows:

• Protection of the battery through automatic turning off of the compressor when the feeding voltage reaches the minimum threshold.
• The compressor will start up again automatically when the voltage goes back to normal values.

In the standby mode, long press the ON/OFF and MAX/ECO buttons for 3 seconds to enter battery protection mode. Short press ⊕ or ⊖ to adjust the level. "--" refers to low battery mode, "==" refers to middle mode, "===" refers to high protection mode.

5. FILLING

Do not put hot food items into the refrigerator. Place the products in such a way as to avoid them hitting against each other or breaking because of the movement of the vehicle.

Make sure that the lid is always well closed and open it for as short a time as possible.

6. DEFROSTING

Defrosting is needed when the layer of frost is thicker than 4 mm.

• To carry out this operation, turn off the refrigerator.
• Do not use sharp or cutting tools to remove the layer of frost or ice.
