Practical Setup & Care Tips
- Level placement: Always install upright and stable for efficient compressor operation and food safety.
- Ventilation is key: Allow air around the cooling unit to prevent overheating, especially in vans or cabinets.
- Regular defrosting: Prevents ice build-up and ensures consistent temperature – especially important during humid or coastal trips.
- Pre-trip power check: Confirm your power supply matches (12V/24V) and test on your system before hitting the road.
- Lock it in: Make use of the built-in door lock while travelling to keep the contents secure.
- Quick clean after use: Removable glass shelves and antimicrobial lining speed up post-trip clean-ups. Always switch off and let it warm up a bit before cleaning.
