Page 12: Operation
OPERATION Your Unique fridge, like any battery-powered refrigerating appli- ance, requires different care than appliances plugged into an elec- tric utility. Prudent operation is the key to extended service. STARTING THE FRIDGE After the fridge has been properly connected to the 12 or 24 VDC power source, the compressor will automatically turn on and the cabinet will begin cooling. - Page 13 OPERATION continued ADJUSTMENTS As the ambient temperature changes with the season, it may be nec- essary to adjust the thermostat to achieve the proper internal tem- perature. If the room/ambient temperature approaches the appliance’s internal operating temperature, the appliance will not function as it should.
- Page 14 OPERATION continued DEFROSTING Before cleaning or repositioning the fridge, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electrical power supply. DEFROSTING THE UNIT The fridge compartment will become progressively covered with frost. When 5mm of frost forms in the freezer, this should be removed with the supplied plastic scraper. This should be removed periodically with a plastic scraper.
- Page 15 OPERATION continued WATER CATCH BASIN There is a water catch basin located at the back of the fridge for excess water or as a result of defrosting. The hot condenser coil runs into the water catch basin and evaporates the water slowly: NOTE: Take notice when doing a complete defrost as the water catch basin could overfill with large volumes of water going in the water catch basin all at once.

CLEANING Internal Cleaning Wash the inside of the appliance with luke warm water and a mild soap.
