This document serves as a comprehensive user manual for the Costway Mini Refrigerator, model EP24698US, providing essential information for its safe operation, maintenance, and optimal use. The device is designed to offer both cooling and warming functions, making it a versatile appliance for various settings.
The Costway Mini Refrigerator is a compact and portable appliance that utilizes semiconductor refrigeration technology. This technology eliminates the need for a bulky compressor and refrigerants, contributing to its lightweight design and making it an environmentally friendly product free from noise and fluorine pollution. Its primary function is to cool items, but it also has a warming capability, allowing it to maintain items at a heated temperature.
The cooling function is activated by setting the "Cool and Heat Switch" to "Cool," which illuminates a green indicator light. The device then begins to cool its interior. Conversely, for heating, the switch is set to "Heat," and a red indicator light signals the heating process. It's crucial to switch the unit to the "OFF" position for at least 15 minutes before transitioning between cooling and heating modes to prevent damage to the cooling system due to drastic temperature changes.
The refrigerator is equipped with a fan that operates in two modes: "Normal mode" and "Silent mode." Normal mode runs the fan at a higher speed, recommended for daytime use when maximum performance is desired. Silent mode operates the fan at a lower speed, making it suitable for nighttime use when reduced noise is preferred.
This mini refrigerator is particularly well-suited for a diverse range of users and applications, including drivers, tourists, migrant workers, singles, mothers, office workers, and students. Its multi-functionality, light weight, small size, and ease of portability make it a convenient helper for both home and travel use. The product's simple structure also contributes to its long service life.
The mini refrigerator offers flexible power options, supporting both vehicle use (DC 12V) and home use (AC 100V-240V). For vehicle use, the device is connected to the vehicle's DC12V socket using the provided power cable, and the cigarette lighter is inserted into the vehicle's socket. For home use, one end of the household power cord is inserted into the AC socket of the refrigerator, and the other end is plugged into a standard household outlet.
To maximize cooling efficiency, it is recommended to place items closer to the cooling position inside the refrigerator. Metal cans are suggested for cooling drinks as they offer better results. For fruits like watermelon, cutting them into halves, sealing them with plastic wrap, and attaching the flat surface to the inner wall of the refrigerator can enhance cooling. Cooked meals can be kept fresh by placing them on a flat stainless steel plate inside the unit.
The manual provides suggested temperatures for various items to optimize their preservation. For fruits, a temperature between 32-50°F is recommended to maintain quality and extend freshness. Beers are best stored between 32-59°F, with bottled beer specifically between 41-77°F. Tea can be preserved better between 41-50°F for over a year. Cosmetics and skincare products generally benefit from temperatures below 77°F, ideally between 50-64.4°F, to prevent deterioration and provide a good cooling effect for the skin. Household medicines should be refrigerated according to their specific requirements, generally below 68°F.
The mini refrigerator is suitable for refrigerating fruits, bottled/canned beverages, tea, medicines, breast milk, and cosmetics. However, it is explicitly stated that the device is not a freezer and should not be used for freezing fresh meat, ice cream, or other frozen foods, nor for chemical reagents. Cooked food can be stored for 5-8 hours. To maintain the freshness of contents, frequent opening of the door and leaving it open for extended periods should be avoided.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the mini refrigerator. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the "Cool & Heat Switch" must be turned off, and the power source must be unplugged to disconnect power.
The exterior surface of the unit can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with detergent to remove dirt and dust. The interior of the appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in warm water. It is crucial not to rinse the body of the refrigerator with water, especially parts like ventilation openings and the switch socket, as this can cause damage to the product and pose a risk of electric shock.
Troubleshooting steps are provided for common issues. If the mini refrigerator is not energized, users should check the power cord connection, ensure the unit is turned on, verify the correct operation of the AC/DC switch, and clean the cigarette lighter base if using vehicle power. If the cooling effect is poor, users should check if the fan is running normally and replace it if necessary (recommended every 3-6 months). If there is still no cooling effect, touching the four screws inside the unit can help determine if the cooling module is cold; if not, the cooling module may need replacement.
The product is designed for a long service life, with the cooling module expected to last up to 50,000 hours. The manual also emphasizes the importance of proper storage in a neat and well-ventilated place, maintaining a 10cm ventilation channel around the unit. It should not be placed in rainy areas or near heat sources such as electric stoves, LPG stoves, heat pipes, or flames. Any residual water inside the mini refrigerator should be cleaned regularly.
For customer service, users are encouraged to contact the friendly customer service department for assistance with missing or damaged parts, which will be shipped promptly. The manual also advises users to follow Costway on various social media platforms and visit their website for more information and to provide feedback on their products. In line with environmental responsibility, users are reminded to dispose of non-working electrical equipment at appropriate waste disposal centers according to local regulations.
