• To allow the interior to cool down properly, run the fridge/freezer
for at least 4 hours empty before adding food.
• This fridge/freezer is designed to operate on 12 or 24 volts DC
ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT THIS FRIDGE/FREEZER TO AN AC (al-

• Never use excessive force on the handle to open the lid.
• If the room/ambient temperature approaches the fridge/freezer’s
operating temperature, the fridge/freezer may not function corrently. If the room/ambient temperature exceeds 100˚F (38˚C) the
fridge/freezer may not function correctly.
• A battery-powered fridge/freezer has a lower cooling capacity
than typical AC-powered appliances. Because the compressor is
small, the fridge/freezer runs more eciently but lacks the ability
to cool larger warm loads as quickly as typical AC-powered appliances.
