INSTALLATION Your EvaKool fridge/freezer is designed to operate from either a 12V or 24V DC power source. It can also operate from a 240V (AC) main supply with the use of a 12V/24V adaptor. When using solar power or power generators ensure that the fridge is connected through a 12V or 24V battery. We recommend the use of anti-surge devices when there is a possibility of ‘spikes’ from the power source. The recommmended mannner to connect your fridge is illustrated below.
Operating INSTRUCTIONS 12 VOLT OPERATION MAINS OPERATION • Connect the military plug end of the fridge lead, supplied with the fridge to the fridge, • The unit can also operate from a 240V mains power source via an EvaKool approved 12V/24V adaptor. • Push cigarette lighter plug into 12V or 24V power outlet. • Connect the military plug end of the adaptor to the fridge and plug the 3 pin plug into the mains.
Selection of FRIDGE/FREEZER OPTIONS Your EvaKool fridge/freezer is uniquely designed to operate as a fridge or freezer or fridge/freezer combo. • When you first start the fridge, remove the insulated internal divider which will allow the air to circulate and hence bring down the temperature in the cabinet quicker • Once the temperature has reached the desired level - refit the divider between the baskets.
NORMAL OR ECONOMY OPERATION Your EvaKool fridge is designed to operate in either normal or economy mode. The normal/economy switch is used to change the speed and capacity of the compressor. eg. In the economy mode the Danfoss BD35 compressor will operate at 2000rpm and is rated at 33 watts. In the normal mode it will operate at 3000rpm and is rated at 45 watts - a 36% increase in capacity.
POWER INLET The military plug (power inlet socket) is notched so that it can only be connected in the correct way. The threaded ring locks locks the plug into place. CIRCUIT BREAKER Your EvaKool is fitted with a 15 amp circuit breaker. breaker will ‘trip’ thereby cutting off all power to the unit. The purpose of the circuit breaker is to protect the compressor should there be: – a direct short to earth; – a power surge or faulty power supply. As a result all the lights on the control panel will go out.
Care & STORAGE DEFROSTING STORAGE • Switch off freezer and open lid. • Open drainage bung to drain waste as fridge defrosts. • A jug of water may be poured over the evaporator plates and inside of the cabinet to assist cleaning. (DO NOT FLOOD OR FILL THE CABINET WITH WATER.) • DO NOT use sharp objects when cleaning and defrosting your EvaKool. Keep your EvaKool clean by wiping both the interior and exterior with a damp cloth using a mild nonabrasive household detergent and dry thoroughly.
Fault Finding GUIDE refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING FLOW CHART FRIDGE NOT RUNNING? Is the RED light on? • Check power supply. • Check that the fridge lead is plugged in properly, and that no wires are loose. • Check that the temperature dial is not in the ‘OFF’ position. • Check the circuit breaker and press to re-set if necessary. • Try starting in economy and normal positions. • If the red light is on and the fridge is still not running call our Service Department on 07 5492 7777.
SIMPLE TESTS • Fridge does not operate in your vehicle: Run the fridge from a 240 volt power source via an AC adaptor. If the fridge starts and runs then the problem is with your vehicle, either the battery or the wiring. See section on voltage drop (AC adaptor, minimum of 10 amps at 12 volts peak or 5 amps at 24 volts peak). NOTE: The EvaKool AC adaptor model EP24 delivers 24 volts.
