TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
• Fresh and frozen foods should not be stored together. Frozen
surfaces can cause frost damage on fresh foods which can then
lead to spoilage. It is best to put an insulating layer between these
goods or to organize them into separate compartments.
• When the appliance is being set at 0˚C / 32˚F or lower, do not
store glass bottles or liquids such as beer, wine, juices or soft
drinks in the unit as they may freeze and shatter.
• Items such as fruit and vegetables should be stored closer to the
top of the cabinet as this area is normally slightly warmer. This will
reduce the risk of spoiling and ensure that delicate fresh foods are
not crushed by heavier frozen items.
• To improve the efficiency of your UGP-60L/UGP-80L/UGP-120L
portable fridge/freezer it is better to have the cabinet as full as
possible at all times. A full cabinet will provide lower power con-
sumption over 24 hours than a half-empty one, as chilled and
frozen food help maintain temperature efficiency.
• Make your selection of what you wish to remove from the cabinet
before you open the door. This will reduce the amount of warm air
that will enter the cabinet while the door is open, and help main-
tain energy and temperature efficiency.
• When located in the rear of a vehicle, it is recommended that the
fridge/freezer be shaded from direct sunlight to reduce the risk of
increased heat. It should also be provided with suitable ventilation
to guarantee efficient power consumption and performance.
*
Remember: when a vehicle is parked in the sun on a day where
the ambient temperature is +30˚C/86˚F, the interior of the vehicle
can reach more than +55˚C/131˚F.
