IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most ecient re-

frigeration products available on the market today. The Unique 290L

solar powered DC fridge is designed to provide years of ecient

trouble-free operation. The design is optimized for energy savings

with an ecient DC compressor and thick insulation.

Before using the appliance, read through this manual carefully

including all the information on safety, installation, operation, and

cleaning. These guidelines do not cover every possible condition or

situation that may occur. Be safe using common sense and caution

when installing, operating and cleaning this appliance. If you are un-

sure about any of these instructions or warnings, contact your local

product dealer or Unique O-Grid Appliances for assistance.

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.

• 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.

• 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 oper-

ating temperature, the fridge may not function corrently. 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.

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 SUF-

FOCATION! Wash the inside and outside of the appliance with luke

warm 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 compart-

ments 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 at,

rm, and stable surface resting level on all four supports. The oor

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

inches (7.5 cm) is highly recommended. This will provide sucient

airow 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 Philips 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 Philips 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 screw-

driver, 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 cab-

net, 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 hairdryer or heat gun

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

meet the cabinet. Allow 30 mins 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, up-

right position for 12 hours to allow compressor ﬂuids to

redistribute evenly before use.

THIS FRIDGE MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY

TO ANY AC (alternating current) POWER SOURCE!

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

POWER SOURCE, SUCH AS A SOLAR

BATTERY SYSTEM OR CHARGE CONTROLLER.

THE FRIDGE WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPERATE ON EITHER 12V OR

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

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.

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 nega-

tive 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.

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 recom-

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

the appliance does not drop below the cut-out voltage of the com-

pressor.

LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT

The compressor electronics includes a low voltage disconnect fea-

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

mode) or 22.8V (in 24 V 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 experi-

encing too low a depth of discharge.
