IMPORTANT: After transit where the fridge has been on

its side or back, ensure that the fridge is in a level, upright

position for 12 hours to allow compressor ﬂuids to redis-

tribute evenly before use.

• To allow the interior to cool down properly, run the fridge for at least

4 hours empty before adding food.

• This fridge is designed to operate on 12 or 24 volts DC ONLY.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS FRIDGE TO AN AC (alternating

current) POWER SOURCE UNLESS IT IS THE SUPPLIED

UNIQUE AC/DC PLUG.

• This fridge is designed for domestic use only! It is intended for the

storage of edible/consumable food and drinks. It is not intended for

commercial or industrial use.

• Never use excessive force on the handle to open the door.

• If the room/ambient temperature approaches the fridge’s operating

temperature, the fridge may not function correctly. If the room/

ambient temperature exceeds 100˚F (38˚C) the fridge may not

function correctly.

• A DC powered fridge has a lower cooling capacity than typical AC-

powered appliances. Because the compressor is small, the fridge/

freezer runs more eciently but lacks the ability to cool larger warm

loads as quickly as typical AC-powered appliances.

These warnings are provided in the interest of your safety. Please

ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this

fridge. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about

any of these meanings or warnings, contact your local product dealer

or Unique Appliances for assistance.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:

At delivery, please check that the fridge is complete and has not been

damaged during transport. It is not advised to connect an appliance

that has been damaged, especially damage to the electrical supply

cable or refrigerant circuit. In the event of damage please contact your

local product dealer or Unique Appliances for assistance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

GENERAL SAFETY

• Before cleaning or repositioning the fridge/freezer, always disconnect

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance. To

avoid injury and causing damage to the appliance, be extremely

cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task.

Keep children away from the packaging material - DANGER OF

SUFFOCATION!. Wash the inside and outside of the appliance with

lukewarm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or corrosive

cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, or chemical cleaning

agents should not be used under any circumstances. A sponge, soft

brush or towel is recommended. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and

dry. You may want to leave the doors open allowing the compartments

to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors. Check with

your local Environmental Agency for recommendations on recycling

packaging materials in your area.

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

The area in which the fridge is to be installed must be relatively cool,

dry, and suitably ventilated. The area must be protected against any

inclement weather (rain, snow) and excessive surface dust. To ensure

proper function, the appliance must be placed horizontally on a ﬂat,

ﬁrm, and stable surface resting level on all four supports. The ﬂoor must

be strong enough to support a fully loaded cabinet. Use wood or metal

shims to level the fridge if necessary.

Do not place the fridge close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler,

chimney, etc.), and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This

appliance uses the exterior walls to transfer heat from the inside of the

cabinet. Ensure that there is adequate space between the fridge and

neighboring walls or large objects. A minimum spacing of 3” (7.5 cm)

is highly recommended. This will provide sucient airﬂow around the

appliance resulting in more ecient operation and longer appliance

lifetime. Always keep the air vent openings of the compressor housing

cover free from dust and obstructions.

DOOR REMOVAL AND REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: The direction in which your refrigerator doors open (door swing)

can be reversed, from left to right or right to left, by moving the door

hinges from one side to the other. Reversing the door swing, should be

performed, by a qualiﬁed person.

1. Remove top hinge cover

2. Remove top hinge with Phillips screwdriver and lift freezer door o

of center hinge and set door aside.

3. Unscrew center hinge with Phillips screwdriver

4. Lift refrigerator door o of bottom hinge and set aside.

5. Remove bottom hinge with Phillips screwdriver.

6. Now remove all plugs and caps from opposite side and place them

in the holes you just remove the screws from.

7. Using a Phillips screwdriver fasten the bottom hinge in place using

the screws you previously removed.

8. Place fridge door on bottom hinge, then place middle hinge in top

hole of fridge door and using the Phillips screwdriver, fasten the

middle hinge in place using the screws you previously removed.

9. Now place the freezer door on top of the middle hinge, then

place top hinge in top hole of freezer door and using the Phillips

screwdriver, fasten the top hinge in place using the screws you

previously removed.

10. Tighten all screws while making adjustments where necessary

to ensure they are aligned correctly and closing well against the

cabinet, this will reduce any excessive frost build up

NOTE: Once the doors are reversed and if the gasket does not meet

the cabinet on the hinged side, using a hair dryer or heat gun heat

the gasket while on the appliance. The gasket will expand to meet

the cabinet. Allow 30 minutes to cool before opening

IMPORTANT: After transit where the fridge has been

on its side or back, ensure that the fridge is in a level,

upright position for 12 hours to allow compressor ﬂuids to

redistribute evenly before use.

INSTALLATION continued

IN-LINE FUSE

A 15A in-line fuse is provided with this fridge in order to protect the

wiring. For 12V operation, use a 15A fuse. A standard automobile

fuse is recommended and the fuse should be wired to the positive

(“+”) side of the system close to the positive battery terminal.

A 15A fuse is provided with this fridge/freezer. Remove screws from

back plate to access the 15A in-line fuse.

OPERATING VOLTAGE FUSE

12V 15A

DC POWER CONNECTION continued

ATTENTION

If a longer connection cable is necessary, the cable cross section (or

gauge) must be equal to or greater than the cable sizes recommended

on the following table. Be careful that the input voltage at the appliance

does not drop below the cut-out voltage of the compressor.

LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT

The compressor electronics includes a low voltage disconnect

feature. If the input voltage to the appliance falls below 10.4V (in 12V

mode) or 22.8V (in 24V mode), the compressor will shut-o. Once

the voltage increases above 11.7V (in 12V mode) or 24.2V (in 24V

mode), the compressor will resume normal operation.

This feature is designed to protect the system battery from

experiencing too low a depth of discharge.

WIRING DIAGRAM

THIS FRIDGE MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY

TO ANY AC (alternating current) POWER SOURCE!

THE FRIDGE MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A 12 OR 24V DC

POWER SOURCE, SUCH AS A SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEM OR CHARGE

CONTROLLER.

THE FRIDGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPERATE ON EITHER 12 OR

24V DC. THE USER DOES NOT NEED TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT.

ATTENTION: Polarity is important in wiring this DC appliance. Be sure

that the positive terminal of the battery or charge controller coincides

with the positive wire to the compressor, and the negative terminal of

the battery or charge controller coincides with the negative wire to

the compressor. The leads should be connected using cable shoes and

screwed connections. Joined leads should be avoided.

NOTE: The switch must be “ﬂipped”

to the correct power source, otherwise

the refrigerator will not work.
