Usage Features:
- Control Panel with LCD Digital Display: Allows for precise temperature setting and monitoring for both compartments.
- Temperature Setting: Users can adjust the temperature for each compartment independently using "+" and "-" buttons. The unit supports both Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature units.
- Cooling Modes: Offers two cooling modes: MAX (fast cooling) for rapid temperature reduction and ECO (Energy saving Mode) for efficient power consumption. The factory setting is MAX.

- Solar Charging Instructions: When using a solar panel, it is advised to place the refrigerator in a cool area to prevent overheating. The battery icon on the display indicates charging status. The charging input power should exceed the refrigerator's working power (approx. 40-45W), or the unit should be in standby mode for effective charging. A 100W solar panel is recommended.
- In-Vehicle Use: For in-vehicle operation, users should select the appropriate battery protection mode (H, M, or L) and connect to the car's power port. It is crucial to adjust battery protection to H when using the car battery to prevent discharge if the engine is off, especially in vehicles that continue to supply power.
