Operation
The appliance has a low-voltage shut-off function, intended
to protect your RV battery's from excessive drain.
NOTE: This function controls compressor operation only, a
small electric current is still used for the LED cavity light and
low-voltage monitoring system. Once voltage is increased,
the system will automatically begin normal operation. The
cavity LED light will also turn off after 3mins of the door
being open. The 3 min timer can be reset by closing and re-
opening the door.
Temperature Control
CAUTION
Proper food storage temperatures is important to reduce
the risk of foodborne illness bacteria.
The temperature control knob is located in the fresh food
compartment of the refrigerator. It is designed to set the
temperature from cold to coldest or turn the refrigeration
system off.
The recommended operating temperatures for proper food
storage is as follows:
Compartment Temperature
Fridge 36°F~40°F (2°C~4°C)
Freezer < 0°F (< -18°C)
Turn the thermostat to max when first starting the refrigerator
and after putting large quantities of food in. After a few
hours turn it down between mid and max position to reach
the recommended operating temperature setting. This
will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is
placed into the refrigerator. Placing large amounts of food
may require additional cooling time to bring the temperature
down. Several conditions may require adjustment of the
temperature dial, use the following chart as a guideline.

NOTE: The above chart is a guideline defined based on ideal ambient
conditions of 77°F (25°C). Several factors can alter the performance,
a refrigerator thermometer should be placed to achieve maximum
performance.
NOTE: If power is lost during operation, the refrigerator will
automatically resume operation after 3 to 5 minutes. The
temperature knob does not need to be adjusted or cycled to
restart the refrigerator.
Off Grid Usage
Where grid power is not available, the “OFF GRID” setting
can be used to maximize battery life.
During travel, where a tow vehicle will provide constant
battery charging, it is recommended to operate the
refrigerator at a normal temperature setting dial (refer to
“Temperature Control” section). Once you have arrived
and are dependent on your battery reserve, rotate the
knob to the “OFF GRID” setting of the dial.
It is recommended to store meat and dairy products
towards the back and middle shelf of your refrigerator.
Utilize the other space of the refrigerator for beverages,
condiments, and produce.
NOTE: Operation time of refrigerator in "OFF GRID" mode
depends on, but not limited to, factors such as; ambient
temperature, battery capacity, condition of battery,
thermostat setting, food qty, and frequency of door openings.
Reference the below chart to adjust operation time based on
ambient temperature.
Ambient Temperature Operation Time
68°F(20°C) 100%
77°F(25°C) 80%
90°F(32.2°C) 55%
