This document serves as an instruction manual for the SUBCOLD Mini Fridge, model AIRE20. It provides essential information regarding its function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The SUBCOLD AIRE20 is a semi-conductor electric cooler appliance, designed for use in bedrooms, apartments, hotels, hospitals, and offices. It is intended for cooling items and is not designed for freezing. The appliance operates as a mini fridge, providing a temperature-controlled environment for storing various items. It is a Category 10 appliance according to ErP 643/2009, with a design temperature of 17°C. The range of storage temperature is from 3°C to 15°C, but the test condition for energy consumption is equal to 15°C or higher at the ambient temperature 25°C.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model No.: AIRE20
- Volume: 20L
- Rated Voltage: 220-240V AC
- Rated Frequency: 50Hz
- Temperature Range: 3-15 °C
- Climate Type: SN, N
- Input Power: 55W
The appliance is designed to be energy efficient, with a focus on minimizing energy consumption. Users are advised to set the thermostat to lower settings as soon as possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is and ambient temperature) and to pre-cool items before loading them into the cooler to achieve room temperature before placing them in the cooler. Setting it on higher temperature can minimize the energy consumption of the household thermoelectric cooler appliance at ordinary temperature.
Usage Features:
Before first use, the manual emphasizes the importance of reading the instructions carefully.
- Before putting into use: Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior. Ensure all interior accessories are correctly placed.
- Starting Your New Thermoelectric Cooler:
- Clean the cooler thoroughly with a soft dry cloth, both the interior and exterior.
- Insert the power supply cord into the socket.
- Normal operating: When the cooler is powered on, two LEDs on the circuit board will flash. A red LED indicates the power input status, and a green LED indicates the output status of the cooling system. The fan inside the cooler begins to work. When the door is opened, the light under the temperature adjustor turns on automatically. The temperature range for the cooler is 3°C to 15°C. When the temperature is set on a certain point and the temperature inside reaches this point, the automatic temperature control system begins to work, and the cooling system goes into linear temperature keeping status. A note advises waiting 3-5 minutes before restarting if the cooler is unplugged, as the unit may fail to operate properly if restarted too quickly.
- Tips for energy savings:
- Do not open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot.
- Close the door as soon as possible.
- Ensure the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation around the appliance).
- Set the thermostat to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is and ambient temperature).
- Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. For hot foods, please cool to room temperature before placing it in the cooler.
- Set it on higher temperature to minimize energy consumption.
