TEMP CONTROL/GENERAL OPERATION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Drawer Fridge is designed to operate on
DC voltage.
• DC input 12V or 24V DC (e.g. car cigarette
lighter or car battery)
• If the Fridge or Freezer is operating
when the vehicle ignition is switched
OFF, the Fridge/ Freezer will switch OFF
automatically unless vehicle is fitted with
dual battery system.
• The Fridge or Freezer will automatically
switch back ON when the vehicle is
re-started and the power source voltage
reaches the Battery Monitor cut-in setting.
OPERATING WITH 12/24V DC
• Plug the 12V/24V DC power cable into a
vehicle socket or suitable 12V or 24V DC
power source.
• It may be necessary to turn the Fridge or
Freezer on using the power button the first
time it is connected to power.
• The display will automatically show the
current internal cabinet temperature.
• For optimum performance and efficiency, it
is important that the Fridge or Freezer has
a reliable DC power source available.
Direct connection to the battery is
recommended and reduces the risk of
voltage dropping to the appliance.
• Use only the DC power cable supplied with
the Fridge or Freezer.
Important: If a DC extension cable is required
we recommended use of a 6mm dia. (AWG11)
4.58mm
2
Twin Sheath Two Core cable with
direct connection to the positive and negative
battery terminals with 15A inline
fuse protection.
• Always consult a qualified automotive
electrician when using a DC extension cable.
• The Fridge or Freezer will automatically turn
on, there is no requirement to switch the
appliance on.
• The Fridge or Freezer will automatically turn
on UNLESS it was manually turned off before
power was disconnected when last in use. If
this is the case it will be in standby mode and
needs to be turned on manually with the on/
off power button on the control panel.
• The display will automatically show the
current internal cabinet temperature.
CAUTION: Do not touch cables, plugs or
switches with wet hands or when your feet are
in contact with water! If you operate your Fridge
or Freezer on board a boat by means of a shore
connection to a 220-240V AC power source, the
power connection must include an earth leakage
RCD residual current device.
12/24V DC POWER REQUIREMENTS
If your Fridge or Freezer is cutting out
prematurely, it could be due to:
1. The battery voltage protection being set too
high on the Battery Monitor
2. DC power cable and/or connections are
not suitable to carry the required current.
Check the power cable and all connections
and adjust the Battery Monitor on the
control panel if required.
• The Fridge or Freezer is equipped with a
multilevel Battery Monitor that protects
your vehicle battery against excessive
discharging when the Fridge or Freezer is
connected to 12V or 24V DC power source.
Important: When using the Fridge or Freezer
with DC power supply, we recommended
setting the Battery Monitor to LOW if Fridge or
Freezer not running off crank battery.
Note: A battery charger may only be
connected to the battery when the Fridge or
Freezer has been disconnected from the DC
power source.
• Over-voltage may cause damage to the
electronics of the Fridge or Freezer.
• Your Fridge or Freezer is equipped with
reverse polarity protection. It protects your
Fridge or Freezer against reverse battery
connection and short circuit.
• As a protection for your battery, the Fridge
or Freezer switches OFF automatically if the
power source voltage is insufficient. Fridge
will only restart when voltage reaches cut
in level.
Note: It is important that the correct cable size
and gauge is used for the installation of the
DC supply as over distance the voltage can
decrease if the incorrect cable size and gauge
cable is being used.
When your Fridge or Freezer is first connected
to the DC power input the appliance will power
up depending on the state it was disconnected
in when last used - it will either turn on fully
showing all info on the display or it will start up
in standby mode & require the on/off button on
the display to be pressed
• The Temperature Controller provides the
ability to set the desired temperature
level and display the current cabinet
temperature. The electronic controller has
been programmed to maintain an average
of the set temperature.
• The compressor will start up when the
internal cabinet temperature increases 0.5
to 2 degrees above the set temperature
and will run until the temperature is 0.5 to 2
degrees below the set temperature.
