Notes on using the product

 Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator;

allow a gap of at least 200mm around the vents and 100mm around the rest of the unit.

 Avoid humidity: Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling.

Do not allow frost to build up. Never clean the appliance using a hose and never submerge the
unit in any liquid.

 Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator to work more

efficiently and keep the contents cool.

 Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When using the fridge in a

vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it.

3. Operation

 Power

：：：：

The electronic control module controls the compressor motor and has the function of
a three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum, the
compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-in value, the compressor
will restart automatically.

 Battery Protection: The Danfoss compressor requires over 10.4 Volts (12 Volt System) or

23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate. If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop
running.

 Cable Specification

The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table:
