Configuració

1. Desembalatge i col·locació inicial

Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. It is recommended to let the appliance stand upright for at least 6 hours before first use, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around all sides. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

2. Connexió d'alimentació

The Alpicool C12PT can be powered by both DC (12V/24V) and AC (100-240V) power sources.

• DC Power (Car/Vehicle): Connect the DC power cable to the refrigerator's DC input port and then to your vehicle's 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket. Ensure the connection is secure.
• AC Power (Home/Wall Outlet): Use the provided AC adapter and cable. Connect the AC cable to the adapter, then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet (100-240V). Connect the other end of the AC cable to the refrigerator's AC input port.

Ensure the power source is stable and provides sufficient current for the refrigerator's operation.
