Modes and Settings

• ECO Mode: A low-noise, energy-saving mode. It has a slower cooling speed and higher minimum temperature compared to normal mode.
• Cooling Mode: For best results, place pre-chilled items inside. Cooling performance is affected by ambient temperature.
• Heating Mode: Designed to maintain the temperature of items. It is not intended to heat up cold items from scratch.

Maintenance and Storage

• Always unplug the unit before performing maintenance.
• Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Ensure the interior is completely dry before storing the unit for long periods.

Troubleshooting

• Not working: Check the power connection, ensure the plug is clean and secure, and verify the power source (car battery or wall outlet).
• Not cooling: Ensure the switch is set to Cooling mode, check if the fan is running, and note that the unit cannot cool below 0°C (32°F).
• Water accumulation: Avoid frequent door opening and do not place hot items directly inside.
• Poor heat dissipation: Ensure 5cm (2 inches) of clearance, avoid high-temperature environments, and disable ECO mode if cooling performance is insufficient.
