OPERATION
NOTICE: To prevent blowing a fusible link on the
receptacle, only use with 12V auxiliary power outlet.
1. Place the Power Switch and the LED Switch in their
O (off) positions. Plug into a 15A rated 12V auxiliary
power outlet ONLY.
Note: This Defroster can burn out lighter sockets.
2. Mount on dashboard, or hold over windshield for
spot defrosting. Use for up to 20 minutes, and then
shut off for at least 5 minutes.
3. The Defroster can be removed from the Mounting
Base. By holding the Handle the Defroster can be
moved around as needed.
4. The LED Switch turns the lights on/off.
5. To select either the fan only or the Defroster and
fan, press the Power Switch to the setting as marked.
Toggle the Power Switch to the center position to turn
off these functions.
WARNING! Do not operate longer than 20 minutes at
one time, allow defroster to cool completely after use.
6. Unplug the defroster before leaving the vehicle.
WARNING! TO PREVENT FIRE: Replace fuse
only with fuse of same type and rating.
1. Pull the Fuse out of the Fuse Holder. If the wire
inside the Fuse is broken the Fuse needs to be
replaced, otherwise insert the Fuse back into the
Holder and proceed to the next step.
2. If the Defroster’s Fuse was not blown, connect
another 12VDC device to the 12V auxiliary power
outlet to check it.
a. If the receptacle works, have the Defroster
serviced by a qualified technician.
b. If the receptacle does not work, DO NOT USE
THIS DEFROSTER WITH THAT RECEPTACLE.
That receptacle is evidently not rated to 15A, as
this Defroster requires.
Note:
Check vehicle’s service manual for instructions
on repairing the receptacle. Likely failure points are the
fusible link on the receptacle itself or the vehicle’s fuse.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Defroster’s base can be mounted to the vehicle
using Mounting Screws or can be mounted using the
Adhesive Strip as desired.
Mounting with Screws
1. Make certain that the Power Cord is long enough
to reach the 12V auxiliary power outlet from the
mounting location.
2. Use the Mounting Base as a guide to mark two
holes in the mounting location.
WARNING! TO PREVENT FIRE: Verify that installa-
tion surface has no hidden wires or other components
before drilling or driving screws.
3. Drill pilot holes in the desired surface slightly
smaller in diameter than the shaft of the Mount-
ing Screws.
4. Align the holes in the Mounting Base with the drilled
holes.
5. Mount the Mounting Base using Mounting Screws.
Mounting with Adhesive Strip
1. Make certain that the Power Cord is long enough to
reach the 12V auxiliary power outlet from the mount-
ing location.
2. Wipe the Base with alcohol for a grease-free
surface. Allow the alcohol to evaporate.
3. Peel off one face of the Adhesive Strip. Place the
strip on the face of the Base and press down and hold
for one minute to adhere.
4. Prepare the mounting surface on the car follow-
ing the same procedure as indicated in the above
mentioned paragraph.
5. Peel the strip backing carefully and position the
Base on the surface and press into place. Leave in
place for an hour before use.
