DOWN UNDER SERIES II 1 Safety Instructions • Warning: Do not touch exposed cables. • Warning: Do not use fridge if you suspect any connections could be wet. • When using the fridge in a vehicle, please ensure the circuit being used is fused at the battery or power source at the recommended size. • Any installation of DC power systems should be handled by a qualified professional. • Make sure the source voltage is correct. The technical data label (page 20) has the voltage data.
DOWN UNDER SERIES II 3. Operation • Power: The refrigerator can be powered by a multi-voltage system utilising either 12/24 Volts or with the included 240V adaptor. The electronic module controls the compressor and has the added 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.

DOWN UNDER SERIES II Did you know? Just like your fridge at home, all EvaKool fridge freezers will cycle on and off. This means you will hear the fridge turn on (cycle on) and commence cooling, then once it gets down to the set temperature, it will cycle off again. Subsequently, the temperature displayed on the fridge will fluctuate by a couple of degrees from the set temperature. The temperature shown is only an indication of the temperature inside the fridge.
DOWN UNDER SERIES II 5. Refrigerator Setting Recommendations To ensure maximum performance from your Down Under Series II Fridge/Freezer please follow these recommendations. Temperature Settings This fridge can be run as a fridge/fridge, fridge/freezer or freezer/freezer, meaning either compartment can be run as a fridge or freezer.
DOWN UNDER SERIES II Battery Protection Mode Settings The fridge is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the fridge is connected to the on-board 12V/24V supply. If the refrigerator is operated when the vehicle’s ignition is switched off, the fridge switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The fridge will switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
