Leave a space to allow for the door to swing open.



Ensure the fridge is not exposed to direct sunlight or a heat source.



Operating Instructions

Power

：：：：

The fridge can be powered by either 12V or 24V DC. The unit comes with a 2 position terminal for hardwiring the fridge to DC Power.

NOTE: The fridge can draw up to 12 Amps on start-up. Please make sure your fused line and cabling is at least 6mm (10AWG).

With an AC Adaptor, the unit can be run off 240V (mains power).

The operating power range for 12 Volt is 10.4V to 16.8V and the 24 Volt range is 22.5V to 30.7V. If the voltage is out of this range the fridge will
automatically cut out. Once the voltage returns to the operating range the fridge will start again.
CAUTION ~ DO NOT run the unit directly off a power source where the power output fluctuates as this may cause damage to the electronics. E.g.
Generators

 Do not power the refrigerator on unless it has been standing upright for at least 1 hour.


When using the unit for the first time, please keep your fridge empty and running until it starts to cycle, this should take somewhere
between 4-12 hours.



When storing food inside the fridge, make sure there is enough room around products to enable air circulation. Do not pack product in too
tightly.



Please make sure that food and liquids are stored in appropriate containers when placing them inside the refrigerator.



If possible, to reduce energy consumption please cool product before it is placed inside the fridge.



Try not to open either the fridge or freezer doors too frequently as this will increase energy consumption.
