Energy saving tips

• Mount the appliance in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep the compressor and condenser in a well-ventilated area.
• Cool the unit down on 220V, before placing in in the vehicle for 12/24V use
• Do not set the thermostat colder than the required temperature.
• Allow food to cool or freeze before storing it in the appliance.
• Avoid leaving the lid or door open any longer than necessary.
• Defrost periodically or when the evaporator is covered with thick ice.
  

PREVENT OVER-VOLTAGE DAMAGE

Over-voltage can cause damage to the electronics, so ensure that you:

• Only connect the appliance to a generator AFTER the generator has been started up.
• Disconnect the battery from the appliance BEFORE connecting the battery to a high-speed battery charger. The warranty will not apply where damage has been caused to the appliance through abuse or negligence.

• The cable to the battery should be as short as and uninterrupted as possible. The hand book defines the relationship between cable thickness and distance from battery.
• Keep the appliance as full as possible for the best cooling results.
• Never obstruct the vents to the refrigerators compressor.
• Don't use any electrical appliance inside the cooling compartment.
  

Storage Essentials

• The appliance takes a small amount of idle current and must therefore be disconnected from the AC mains or DC battery.
