- Press the “POWER OFF” button to turn the freezer on to cooling mode. The temperature on the display is the current internal temperature.
Note: This freezer has a Child Safety Lock function. If there is no operation within 10 seconds after starting the freezer, the screen will be automatically locked, and “LOCK” will be displayed. At this time, none of the buttons will work except the unlock button; press and hold the unlock button for 2 seconds to unlock and the “LOCK” symbol on the screen disappears. - Press the “+” or “—” button to set the cooling temperature. Hold “+ ” or “—” to quickly increase/decrease the temperature.

In subsequent uses, the temperature will default to the last user-set temperature. - Press the “SETTING” button to change the freezer to ECO (Energy Saving Mode) or MAX (Fast Cooling Mode). The factory default mode is MAX.
- Press the “POWER OFF” button to turn off the freezer.
BATTERY PROTECTION SETTING
This freezer has a three-level battery protection function which not only guarantees the normal operation of the freezer but also protects the battery of the vehicle.
- Set the freezer to its “on” state.
- Long press the “SETTING” button until the display flashes “H”.
- Press the “SETTING” button again to select a low voltage protection level “L”, medium voltage protection level “M”, or high voltage protection level “H”. The factory default is “H”.
BATTERY PROTECTION
L/M/H
- 8.5-10.9 V 10.1-11.4 V 11.1-12.4 V
- Vehicle Battery External Battery or Spare Battery
Note: Due to the different output voltages of different vehicle power supplies, if the voltage protection appears (if the display reads “F1”), you can lower the battery protection setting by one level (“H” adjusted to “M” or “L”).
We do not recommend that you run the freezer while the engine is off. If you must run the freezer while the engine is off, set the protection level to “H” (high). If the freezer runs for too long without the engine on, the vehicle may not be able to start.
TEMPERATURE UNIT SWITCHING
- Set the freezer to its ” off ” state.
- Press and hold the “SETTING” button until the display reads “Е1”.
- Press the “+” or “—” button to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The freezer is not working
- Check if the power supply is faulty.
- Check the plug to ensure it is in good contact.
- Check if the cigarette lighter fuse has blown.
- Check if the power switch on the display panel is on.
- After turning the freezer on, there is a three-minute compressor delay safety. Check if the freezer turns on after three minutes.
- Check if the compressor turns on.
It sounds like water is running inside the freezer This is the normal sound of flowing refrigerant.
Excessive freezing inside the refrigerator
- The temperature is set too low.
- Confirm the door is closed and the seal is intact.
- Make sure the inside of the freezer is dry before use.
Water droplets accumulate around the shell or door seal
When the moisture in the air meets the cold shell of the freezer, it condenses into water droplets. This condensation can be wiped off with a towel.
The compressor starts loudly
When the compressor initially starts, the motor will usually run at a high speed. This produces a loud noise, but it will decrease after the speed has stabilized.
Inaccurate temperature displayed
- If items put inside are too hot, the internal temperature will be uneven while the temperature stabilizes.
- Frequently opening and closing the freezer door causes varying airflow, resulting in an unstable internal temperature.
- Make sure that the unit of your thermometer matches the unit of the freezer display.
