2. Operating Instructions
12 Volt Operation
• Connect the military plug end of the fridge lead to the fridge.
• Push cigarette lighter plug into 12V or 24V power outlet.
Note:
If using a plug other than the cigarette lighter plug, ensure that the polarity is
correct ie: positive to positive and negative to negative.
• If required, press button on the control panel to turn fridge on. The control panel will
light up indicating the previous temperature setting.
• The compressor will start and about 2 seconds later the fan motor will start. The display
will be illuminated and the compressor speed indicator light will come on indicating the
fridge is running and the evaporator plate inside the fridge will start to cool.
• Set the temperature control to its desired setting by pressing either ▲ or ▼ button on
the control panel.
• In order to save power, you may turn down the temperature setting or even switch the
fridge off when it is not to be opened for lengthy periods, eg, overnight.
12 Volt Operation
• The unit can also operate from a 240V mains power source via an EvaKool approved
12V/24V adaptor.
• Connect the military plug end of the adaptor to the fridge and plug the 3 pin plug into
the mains.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• DO NOT run your fridge near flames or sources of heat. Preferably keep it in a cool
position away from direct sunlight.
• When travelling on rough roads, place about 50mm of high density foam under
the fridge and secure the unit using tie-down straps through the handles.
• To assist in preventing the unit from reaching the low voltage threshold and
automatically turning itself off the following should be remembered:
• DO NOT leave the fridge running from the car battery (with engine not running) for
extended periods.
• Without the engine running all batteries will eventually discharge enough for the
unit to switch itself off.
• Take care with vehicles with older batteries or smaller vehicles with lower rated
batteries.
