SAFETY INFORMATION Do not touch any exposed cables or wires. Do not operate the fridge in wet or damp environments. Do not submerge the fridge in water. When using the fridge in a vehicle, make sure that the circuit being used is fused. Any installation of DC power systems should be handled by a qualified professional. Make sure the source voltage is correct. The technical data label has the voltage data for the fridge. Ensure that the fridge is kept steady and secure as it can become heavy when filled. A filled fridge may be heavy so be cautious when attempting to lift it. NOTES ON USING THE PRODUCT Good ventilation is necessary for the fridge. Allow a gap of at least 20cm around the vents to allow for airflow. If its power supply is cut off, the fridge will switch off automatically and turn back on when it starts to receive power. Do not place any electrical devices inside the refrigerator as moisture could harm them. Frost build-up can affect the cooling ability of the fridge. Humidity in the unit can cause this frost. Placing your refrigerator near a heat source can reduce its efficiency and heat up its contents. Make sure that you keep the fridge several metres away from heat sources. Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When using the fridge in a vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it. page 1

Clean vents and ensure clear air flow over compressor Clean vents and ensure clear air flow Fan fault Contact Evakool to replace the fan. page 14
NOTES ON OPERATION Power: The electronic control module controls the compressor motor and has the function of a three-stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum, the compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-in value, the compressor will restart automatically. Battery Protection: The Danfoss compressor requires approximately 11 volts (for a 12V system) or 23.0 volts (for a 24V system) to operate. If the voltage drops below this, the fridge will stop running. Cable Specification Table The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table: Cable area 12V Max Cable Length* 24V Max Cable Length* [mm2] AWG [m] [ft.] [m] [ft.] 2.5 13 2.5 8 5 16 4 11 4 13 8 26 6 9 6 20 12 39 10 7 10 33 20 66 * - Note, the length is from the battery to the refrigerator. page 15
