PRIOR TO ADDING FOODSTUFF, THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE RUN FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS
ALLOWING THE INERIOR OF THE CABINET TO COOL.
♦
THIS APPLIANCE OPERATES ON
12 OR 24 VOLTS DC
(DIRECT CURRENT) ONLY! DO NOT

♦
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!

it should. If the room/ambient temperature exceeds 100

♦
A battery-powered refrigerator or freezer has a cooling capacity lower than typical AC units. Because the
compressor is small, the unit runs more efficiently, but lacks the ability to cool large warm loads as quickly as
typical AC appliances.
