INSTALLATION
Your EvaKool fridge/freezer is designed to operate from either a 12V or 24V DC power source. It can also operate from a
240V (AC) main supply with the use of a 12V/24V adaptor.
When using solar power or power generators ensure that the fridge is connected through a 12V or 24V battery. We
recommend the use of anti-surge devices when there is a possibility of ‘spikes’ from the power source.
The recommmended mannner to connect your fridge is illustrated below.
Please note: The fridge is set to cut off immediately when the voltage dips to 9.6V so as to protect your your battery. It wil
start automatically when adequate power is restored.
For maximum efficiency we recommend the fridge is installed on a level surface, although, if necessary it will operate on
surfaces up to an angle of 30˚.
IMPORTANT - INTERNAL CIRCUITRY
DO NOT block air flows to your fridge. Ventiliation is very important to ensure efficiency and reliability. Poor ventilation will
cause the compressor to overheat and hence reduce its life span and efficiency.
Operating
INSTRUCTIONS
Page 5
12 VOLT OPERATION
• Connect the military plug end of the
fridge lead, supplied with the fridge to
the fridge,
• Push cigarette lighter plug into 12V or
24V power outlet.
Note: If using a plug other than the
cigarette lighter plug, ensure that the
polarity is correct ie: positive to positive
and negative to negative.
• Turn the temperature control dial
clockwise to turn the fridge on.
The green power light will come on
indicating the unit is receiving power.
• The compressor will start and about 2
seconds later the fan motor will start.
Thereafter the red ‘cycle’ light will come
on indicating the fridge is running and
the evaporator plate inside the fridge
will start to cool.
• Turn the temperature control dial to its
coldest setting in order to cool the unit
and its contents. Once the required
temperature has been reached, set the
dial at the desired temperature for either
fridge of freezer operation.
• In order to save power, you may turn
down the temperature settings or even
switch the fridge off when it is not to
be opened for lengthy periods, eg,
overnight.
MAINS OPERATION
• The unit can also operate from a 240V
mains power source via an EvaKool
approved 12V/24V adaptor.
• Connect the military plug end of the
adaptor to the fridge and plug the 3 pin
plug into the mains.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• DO NOT run your fridge near
flames or sources of heat.
Preferably keep it in a cool position
away from direct sunlight.
• When travelling on rough roads,
place about 50mm of high density
foam under the fridge and secure
the unit using tie-down straps
through the handles.
• To assist in preventing the unit
from reaching the low voltage
threshold and automatically
turning itself off the following
should be remembered:
• DO NOT leave the fridge
running from the car battery (with
engines not running) for extended
periods.
• Without the engine running all
batteries will eventually discharge
enough for the unit to switch itself off.
• TAKE CARE WITH vehicles
with older batteries or smaller
vehicles with lower rated
batteries.
