Operation
The appliance has a low-voltage shut-off function, intended to protect
your RV battery's from excessive drain.
NOTE:
This function controls compressor operation only, a small electric
current is still used for the LED cavity light and low-voltage monitoring
system. Once voltage is increased, the system will automatically begin
normal operation.
The cavity LED light will also turn off after 3 minutes of the door being
open. The 3-minute timer can be reset by closing and re-opening the
door.
Temperature Control
CAUTION
Proper food storage temperatures is important to reduce the risk of
foodborne illness bacteria.
The temperature control knob is located in the fresh food compartment
of the refrigerator. It is designed to set the temperature from cold to
coldest or turn the refrigeration system off.
The recommended operating temperatures for proper food storage is as
follows:
Compartment
Temperature
Fridge
36°F~40°F (2°C~4°C)
Freezer
< 0°F (< -18°C)
Turn the thermostat to max when first starting the refrigerator and
after putting large quantities of food in. After a few hours turn it down
between mid and max position to reach the recommended operating
temperature setting. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled
before food is placed into the refrigerator. Placing large amounts of food
may require additional cooling time to bring the temperature down.
Several conditions may require adjustment of the temperature dial, use
the following chart as a guideline.

NOTE:
The above chart is a guideline defined based on ideal
ambient conditions of 77°F (25°C). Several factors can alter the
performance, a refrigerator thermometer should be placed to achieve
maximum performance.
NOTE:
If power is lost during operation, the refrigerator will automatically
resume operation after 3 to 5 minutes. The temperature knob does not
need to be adjusted or cycled to restart the refrigerator.
Off Grid Usage
●
Where grid power is not available, the “OFF GRID” setting can be
used to maximize battery life.
●
During travel, where a tow vehicle will provide constant battery
charging, it is recommended to operate the refrigerator at a normal
temperature setting dial (refer to “Temperature Control” section).
Once you have arrived and are dependent on your battery reserve,
rotate the knob to the “OFF GRID” setting of the dial.
●
It is recommended to store meat and dairy products towards the
back and middle shelf of your refrigerator. Utilize the other space of
the refrigerator for beverages, condiments, and produce.
NOTE:
Operation time of refrigerator in "OFF GRID" mode depends
on, but not limited to, factors such as; ambient temperature, battery
capacity, condition of battery, thermostat setting, food qty, and
frequency of door openings. Reference the below chart to adjust
operation time based on ambient temperature.
