The list below details the most commonly asked question about the operation

of the Evakool RF Fridge Freezer.

USING MY FRIDGE

Question 1

How easy is my Fridge Freezer to use?

Very easy! Simply connect the fridge to the power source

(using the plug connection into the accessory socket of your vehicle,

or plug into the socket of your 240 volt adaptor (sold separately)) and

turn the dial to the desired setting. Check with your service manual

for the correct setting.

Question 2

How long will the fridge run in the vehicle with the engine running?

Indefinitely, as the battery charging system in the vehicle will

generate a lot more power than the fridge can consume.

Question 3

How long does the fridge take to cool food and drink?

As soon as the Fridge is turned on the temperature at the

evaporator plate will drop within half and hour. It will take time

for heat to be removed from the contents. You would have to

allow at least 6 hours for each 2kg of food. Always try to load

the fridge with pre-cooled food from your home refrigerator

where ever possible. By doing this, the fridge will not have to

work as hard or as long to reach the desired temperature. This

cold food and drink will stay cold and will help to cool any food

or drink later. Try to leave spaces between products to allow

circulation of cool air.

Question 4 Can I switch the fridge off when not in use? Yes. However, continuous usage is beneficial to the unit. If you can’t leave the fridge on all the time (for instance at home), ensure that the unit is started up periodically – recommended at least 24 hours every month. We suggest: · A That you use the fridge on a permanent basis as a fridge on the lowest setting.

Question 3 What is the battery drain of the fridge? The power consumption of the RF47 (BD35 compressor) measured on average over a 24 hour period is as follows:Ambient Temperature Freezer Temperature Fridge Temperature 28oC 32oC 43oC n/a -25oC -19oC +4oC +2oC +4oC Fridge Freezer Freezer Average Amp/Hour Usage 0.7 A 1.4 A 2.3 A Question 4 Is there any way to automatically switch the fridge off before the battery becomes dangerously low? Yes.

Question 6 What is the cooling power of the fridge? The fridge can maintain its contents at temperatures up -23oC For example:Ø A At 32oC (ambient) , the contents are kept at -25oC (when set to 8 on dial and in normal mode) Ø B At 43oC (ambient) , the contents are kept at -19oC (when set to 8 on dial and in normal mode) General Questions Regarding my Fridge Question 1 Why is a fridge a good alternative to an EvaKool icebox? The fridge has the same insulation as an Evakool icebox.

Question 3 Can the fridge be carried in car trunk/boot? Yes. For a limited time as proper circulation of air is required as heat energy is absorbed and pumped out of the unit. In a confined space, such as in a car boot, this dissipated heat may reduce the effectiveness of the fridge. Bear in mind that the temperature in the trunk of a car can reach over 60oC or more – in these circumstances, the fridge will not work effectively. Question 4 Is the fridge strong enough to sit on? Yes. Very much so.

Question 7 I have a boat! Can I fit the fridge on board? Yes. Unlike metal fridges that are susceptible to corrosion, this fridge is a seaworthy fridge, provided it is located away from direct contact with salt water. If used continuously on a boat, the refrigeration unit must be sealed with a water repellent/ sealant (marinised). Question 8 Does the fridge have to operate on a level surface? No. The fridge will happily operate at angles up to 30oC.
