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.
· B Pre-cool or freeze the product to be packed
· C Pre-cool the fridge so that the product does not defrost
· D Leave room for air circulation around the packed product
inside the box
· E Do not introduce hot or warm goods
· F Do not pack large volumes of product – where possible break
it down into smaller packs
· G Store the fridge in cool, dry places, ensuring that the
interior is dry. If stored for long periods of time, leave the
lid slightly open to help ventilation and avoid the formation
of mould.
Question 5
Will my fridge still work when I switch my vehicle engine off?
Generally, no. In most vehicles when you switch your engine
off using the key (and the radio stops working!), your fridge
will stop working. This is because you are effectively closing
the power circuit by turning the key to the off position in the
ignition. Hard wiring direct link is a common 4wd/off-road
option that can be explored with your local auto electrician.
