1. 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 recommended manner to connect your fridge is illustrated below.
2. Operating Instructions 12 Volt Operation • Connect the military plug end of the fridge lead to the fridge. • Push cigarette lighter plug into 12V or 24V power outlet. Note: If using a plug other than the cigarette lighter plug, ensure that the polarity is correct ie: positive to positive and negative to negative. • If required, press button on the control panel to turn fridge on. The control panel will light up indicating the previous temperature setting.
3. 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 desired temperature has been reached refit the divider between the baskets.
Temperature Setting Recommendations: To run your Infinity Fridge as a dual temperature fridge/freezer, set at-16°C (freezer) and put the divider in place. The divider will permeate the cold air from the freezer and maintain a good temperature in your fridge compartment. To run your Infinity Fridge as a fridge ONLY, set the fridge at 2°C and remove the divider.
5. Control Panel ▲ ▼ ON/OFF Switch Operation Settings High, Medium, Low Temperature Adjustment - Warmer Temperature Adjustment - Cooler Fault light (See fault finding guide) 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 the plug into place. Circuit Breaker • Your EvaKool is fitted with a 15 amp circuit breaker.
6. Helpful Hints • Pre-chill the fridge before use. • On particularly hot days raise the insulated divider by +/-20mm to allow the cold air quicker access to the fridge section of the cabinet. For maximum efficiency: • Regularly rotate contents of fridge particularly when operating as a freezer. • Keep fridge as full as possible, ideally the freezer section should be at least 50% full.
8. Preventative Maintenance • As your EvaKool is a portable unit it is likely to be subjected to a variety of different operating conditions. • Accordingly in order to ensure maximum operating efficiency we recommend that the unit is regularly inspected by an approved EvaKool service agent. See warranty statement. • Prior to commencing any maintenance ensure the unit is not operating and is disconnected from a power source. • The unit is designed so preventative maintenance is easy to undertake.
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 or 5 amps at 24 volts). • Fridge does not operate from a 240 volt power source when using an AC adaptor: Run the fridge from your vehicle or other fully charged 12 volt battery source.
