- Unplug this device during lightning storms or when not in use for long periods to prevent damage.
- DO NOT open or remove covers, doing so may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.
- The supply voltage should be the same as that indicated in the technical specifications and the appliance rating plate.
- To disconnect the device from a power source, switch off the outlet and completely remove the plugs.
- Do not bend, stretch, or pull the power supply cable. Doing so may result in an electric shock.
- Avoid using locations where dust or other airborne contamination may be drawn into the fan.
- Allow at least 5 inches of distance from the back and sides of the device to allow proper air circulation and heat dispersal.
- Never leave the fridge running in poorly ventilated areas e.g. a car’s trunk.
- The installation of DC power on board must be performed by a professional electrician.
- Do not use electrical products inside the freezer.
- After initially unpacking the freezer, let it stand for at least 6 hours before powering on.
- Keep the freezer horizontal at all times.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Connect the power supply: Plug the power cable into the freezer’s socket.
- Connect the other end to a car cigarette lighter or a standard household outlet.
- Press the “POWER OFF” button to turn the freezer on to cooling mode. The temperature on the display is the current internal temperature.
Note: This freezer has a Child Safety Lock function. If there is no operation within 10 seconds after starting the freezer, the screen will be automatically locked, and “LOCK” will be displayed. At this time, none of the buttons will work except the unlock button; press and hold the unlock button for 2 seconds to unlock and the “LOCK” symbol on the screen disappears. - Press the “+” or “—” button to set the cooling temperature. Hold “+ ” or “—” to quickly increase/decrease the temperature.
Note: The first time you use the freezer, it will default to the lowest temperature. In subsequent uses, the temperature will default to the last user-set temperature. - Press the “SETTING” button to change the freezer to ECO (Energy Saving Mode) or MAX (Fast Cooling Mode). The factory default mode is MAX.
- Press the “POWER OFF” button to turn off the freezer.
BATTERY PROTECTION SETTING
This freezer has a three-level battery protection function which not only guarantees the normal operation of the freezer but also protects the battery of the vehicle.
- Set the freezer to its “on” state.
- Long press the “SETTING” button until the display flashes “H”.
- Press the “SETTING” button again to select a low voltage protection level “L”, medium voltage protection level “M”, or high voltage protection level “H”. The factory default is “H”.
BATTERY PROTECTION
L/M/H
- 8.5-10.9 V 10.1-11.4 V 11.1-12.4 V
- Vehicle Battery External Battery or Spare Battery
Note: Due to the different output voltages of different vehicle power supplies, if the voltage protection appears (if the display reads “F1”), you can lower the battery protection setting by one level (“H” adjusted to “M” or “L”). We do not recommend that you run the freezer while the engine is off. If you must run the freezer while the engine is off, set the protection level to “H” (high). If the freezer runs for too long without the engine on, the vehicle may not be able to start.
TEMPERATURE UNIT SWITCHING
- Set the freezer to its ” off ” state.
- Press and hold the “SETTING” button until the display reads “Е1”.
- Press the “+” or “—” button to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The freezer is not working
- Check if the power supply is faulty.
- Check the plug to ensure it is in good contact.
- Check if the cigarette lighter fuse has blown.
- Check if the power switch on the display panel is on.
- After turning the freezer on, there is a three-minute compressor delay safety. Check if the freezer turns on after three minutes.
- Check if the compressor turns on.
It sounds like water is running inside the freezer This is the normal sound of flowing refrigerant.
Excessive freezing inside the refrigerator
- The temperature is set too low.
- Confirm the door is closed and the seal is intact.
- Make sure the inside of the freezer is dry before use.
Water droplets accumulate around the shell or door seal
When the moisture in the air meets the cold shell of the freezer, it condenses into water droplets. This condensation can be wiped off with a towel.
The compressor starts loudly
When the compressor initially starts, the motor will usually run at a high speed. This produces a loud noise, but it will decrease after the speed has stabilized.
Inaccurate temperature displayed
- If items put inside are too hot, the internal temperature will be uneven while the temperature stabilizes.
- Frequently opening and closing the freezer door causes varying airflow, resulting in an unstable internal temperature.
- Make sure that the unit of your thermometer matches the unit of the freezer display.

FAQs
How much time does it take for things to cool?
Depending on the surrounding temperature, it usually reaches cooling temperature 20–30 minutes faster than ice coolers.
Can my car’s battery be depleted?
During typical driving, it may run constantly without severely draining your battery because to its low power usage (48W).
How loud is it when in use?
At ≤45dB, it is incredibly quiet—quieter than the majority of automobile freezers.
Is it possible to use the G22 as a freezer?
The G22 is a thermoelectric cooler/warmer with a minimum cooling temperature of 32°F (0°C), so no, it is not made for freezing. Think about a portable refrigerator with a compressor for freezing temperatures below freezing.
Is it effective in hot climates?
Yes, however excessive heat (above 95°F/35°C) reduces cooling effectiveness. For optimal results, park in a shaded area or use sunshades.
