Návod k obsluze
Ovládací panel:
The freezer is operated via a new LCD display panel. Refer to the detailed image in the Product Overview section for button identification.
- Vypínač: Stiskněte pro zapnutí nebo vypnutí jednotky.
- Tlačítka pro nastavení teploty (+/-): Use to increase or decrease the target temperature.
- Tlačítko režimu: Cycles through different operating modes (e.g., MAX/ECO) and battery protection levels.
Nastavení teploty:
The K18 can maintain temperatures from -4°F (-20°C) to 68°F (20°C). Adjust the temperature using the +/- buttons on the control panel. The unit will automatically cool or heat to maintain the set temperature.

Systém ochrany baterie:
The unit features a 3-level battery protection system to prevent excessive discharge of your vehicle's battery. Press the Mode button to cycle through the settings:
- Vysoký: Provides maximum battery protection, suitable for starting batteries. The unit will cut off power at a higher voltage.
- Střední: A balanced setting for most applications.
- Nízký: Allows for deeper battery discharge, suitable for auxiliary or deep-cycle batteries. The unit will cut off power at a lower voltage.
It is recommended to use the "High" setting when connected to a vehicle's starting battery to ensure sufficient power for engine ignition.
