IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES IMPORTANT: After transit where the freezer has been on its side or back, ensure that the freezer is in a level, upright position for 12 hours to allow compressor fluids to redistribute evenly before use. • To allow the interior to cool down properly, run the freezer for at least 4 hours empty before adding food. • This freezer is designed to operate on 12 or 24 Volts (V) DC ONLY.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES (continued) CHILD SAFETY • Do not allow children to play in, on or around the freezer. It is not a toy. THERE IS A DANGER OF SUFFOCATION IF A CHILD BECOMES TRAPPED INSIDE. • When the appliance is not in use, secure or remove the doors to prevent children from playing inside the cabinets. • DANGER OF SUFFOCATION - Keep children away from all packaging material. INSTALLATION • This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES (continued) DISPOSING OF THE APPLIANCE • When disposing of your freezer, use an authorized disposal site.

DC POWER CONNECTION THIS FREEZER MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO ANY AC (Alternating Current) POWER SOURCE! THE FREEZER MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A 12V OR 24V DC POWER SOURCE, SUCH AS A SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEM OR CHARGE CONTROLLER. THE FREEZER WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPERATE ON EITHER 12V OR 24V DC. THE USER DOES NOT NEED TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT. ATTENTION: Polarity is important in wiring this DC appliance.
OPERATION (continued) DC POWER CONNECTION IN-LINE FUSE A 15A in-line fuse is provided with this freezer in order to protect the wiring. For 12V/24V operation, use a 15A fuse. A standard automobile fuse is recommended and the fuse should be wired to the positive (“+”) side of the system close to the positive battery terminal. A 15A fuse is provided with this freezer.
OPERATION Your Unique freezer, like any battery-powered refrigerating appliance, requires different care than appliances plugged into an electric utility. Prudent operation is the key to extended service. STARTING THE FREEZER After the freezer has been properly connected to the 12V or 24V DC power source, the compressor will automatically turn on and the cabinet will begin cooling. Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 4 hours prior to adding foodstuff.
OPERATION (continued) door is closed. This is due to air contraction in the freezer cabinets. This pressure difference will equalize in a few seconds, making the doors easy to open once again. LOADING THE FREEZER • A battery-powered refrigeration appliance has a cooling capacity lower than typical AC appliances. • Because the compressor is smaller, the appliance runs more efficiently but cools warm or room temperature food at a slower rate than an AC appliance.
OPERATION (continued) COMPARTMENT AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE BEYOND REPAIR. DO NOT USE HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS ELECTRIC OR GAS HEATERS TO COMPLETE THE DEFROST PROCESS. To perform a complete defrosting: 1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply. 2. Remove any stored food and store in coolers, or wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place. 3. Leave the doors open. 4.
CLEANING INTERNAL CLEANING Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed cleaning products to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is recommended. Wash with a mixture of two tablespoons (30ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Appliance is connected to power, but does not operate SOLUTION • Check if 12V or 24V DC is present at the appliance. If not, check all connections and the system battery voltage. • Check that the polarity is correct: positive (+) is connected to positive (+), and negative (-) is connected to negative (-). • Check the fuse. If blown, replace with a new one (see page 11 for details).
