Installation 

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE  

 

Remove the exterior and interior packing.  

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your freezer 

 

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can 

also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fin-

gers. Wipe with warm water and dry. 

 

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or 

glue. These products can damage the surface of your freezer. 

 

Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This 

will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.   

 
 

PROPER LOCATION

 

 

The appliance is designed for free standing installation.  

 

The normal operation of the freezer depends on heat radiation from the condenser. Allow at least 6 inch-

es of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool 

the compressor and condenser. The air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or 

blocked in any way.  

 

Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic 

coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. For best performance, do not install the 

appliance behind a cabinet, door or block the air vents. 

 

This portable freezer is suitable for vehicle use and outdoor use such as camping.  

 

Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture or rain.  
 
 

MOVEMENT AND INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE  

 

Position the freezer in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep the freezer away from direct sunlight, heat-

ers, and corrosive gases or chemicals. 

 

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.  

 

Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.  

 

We do not recommend installing the appliance on carpet.  

 

To level your appliance, install fixed legs at the bottom of the appliance if needed.  

 

When inserting the AC power-cord into the power socket, make sure the power socket is a grounded 

115V~AC / 60Hz socket. Also, make sure that the unit’s grounding prong has not being tampered with. 

NOTE: When inserting the DC power-cord, make sure the input is a 12V~DC / 24V power source. 

 
 

TEST RUN 
DC INPUT POWER 

 

When powering your portable freezer with a standard 12 V socket, the unit will not work if socket has a 

voltage of less than 10.4 V. The unit will restart when the voltage is 11.8V or greater. 

 

When powering your portable freezer into a standard 24 V socket, the unit will not work if the socket has 

a voltage of less than 22.5 V. The unit will restart when the voltage is 24.2 V or greater.
