Quick guide from the manual

The Compass Compressor Cooling Box is a versatile portable cooler capable of operating on 12/24V DC (vehicle) or 110-240V AC (mains) power. It features adjustable battery protection, ECO and Quick Cooling modes, and a reversible door opening mechanism. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat surface with adequate ventilation (200mm at the back, 100mm at the sides) before use.

Power supply and connection

The unit can be powered via 12/24V DC or 110-240V AC. When connecting to a vehicle, ensure the voltage is within the correct range. If using the unit in a boat, installation should be handled by qualified personnel. Always ensure the plug and socket have a good connection.

Defrosting: If frost builds up, unplug the unit, open the door, and let the ice thaw. Use a shovel to remove ice; do not use sharp metal tools.

Care and cleaning

Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and neutral detergent to wipe inner and outer surfaces. Dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use corrosive cleansers, scouring powder, or bleach. Keep the unit in a ventilated place and leave the door slightly open if storing for a long period.
