Product Dimensions
The external dimensions of the fridge are approximately 873mm (width) x 464mm (height) x 492mm (depth). Internal compartment dimensions are also provided in a diagram, showing specific measurements for width, depth, and height of each zone.
Operation
How to Turn on the Fridge
- Connect to power.
- Long press the power button to turn off and short press to turn on.
- The internal temperature will display and the compressor will start.
- Press the SET button to enter different modes: ECO (Energy Saving Mode) and MAX (Fast Cooling Mode). The factory setting is Max.
- When the power is on and the dual temperature zone is set to valid, press the [plus button] or [minus button] to enter the big zone temperature setting, and then press the SET button to switch between the big or small zone temperature setting. Then press [plus button] or [minus button] to adjust the temperature.
- In the power-on state, long press the [plus button] and SET button for 3 seconds to turn the big zone on or off, and press the [minus button] and SET button for 3 seconds to turn the right zone on or off.
NOTE: You cannot turn both zones off at the same time.
Power Supply and Charging
- Power Supply: The refrigerator can be powered by 12V / 24V DC power or 100-240V AC (adapter included).
- An optional removable Lithium battery can be used if there is no connection of DC/AC power.
- DC/AC power will run the refrigerator and charge the optional removable battery simultaneously.
- Battery Charging: There are three types of charging methods: 12V / 24V DC power, 100-240V AC with adapter, or solar panel (12V-50V).
Visuals show the following power options: an optional removable battery, power connection with AC to DC adapter, a solar panel (optional), and a car cigarette lighter with DC cable. The included accessories are an AC to DC adapter and a DC cable.
Battery Usage
The optional removable Lithium battery serves as backup power for short periods off-grid. When not using the battery power or fridge for a long time, turn off the battery output by holding the SET button for 3 seconds.
Maintain Battery Charge
- Home / Hotel: Use AC adapter to charge unit from AC outlet.
- Car / Boat: Use DC port to power the fridge and charge the battery.
- Off Grid: Place the optional battery inside the battery compartment and connect the optional solar panel to the fridge. Alternatively, use a portable 12V power system / solar system. Do NOT connect the solar panel directly to the battery.
Extended Battery Usage
- Cool down before journey: It is recommended to charge the battery and cool the fridge in advance using the mains adapter from a wall outlet the day before the trip. Place food and beverages inside for cooling the day before for off-grid usage. This helps battery durability and saves energy.
- Disconnecting the Battery: The battery can be removed or disconnected using the side button to prevent discharge. The product will operate from the AC adapter or car outlet without the battery. Note: Charge the battery fully before storing it for 1 month or more.

Troubleshooting
ISSUE | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
---|---|
Refrigerator does not work |
|
Refrigerator compartments are too warm |
|
Food is frozen | The temperature was set too low. |
There is "water flow" noise from inside the refrigerator | It's a normal phenomenon, caused by the flow of refrigerant. |
There are waterdrops around the refrigerator casing or door gap | It's a normal phenomenon; moisture condenses to water when it touches a cold surface of the refrigerator. |
The compressor is slightly noisy when starting | It's a normal phenomenon; the noise will be reduced after the compressor works stably. |
Code F1 displayed | Possible cause: low voltage to fridge. Adjust the battery protection from High to Medium or from Medium to Low. |
Code F2 displayed | Possible cause: condenser fan is overloaded. Disconnect power to fridge for 5 minutes & re-start. If the code shows again, contact manufacturer for service. |
