In the objective impression, the car refrigerator is a summer travel to eliminate the summer heat, but in the cold winter, it still has a “superpower” that can not be underestimated. In winter, the car refrigerator can keep food, medicine, mother and child supplies, etc. at a suitable temperature, adding more convenience and comfort to the trip. However, the use of car refrigerator in low temperature environment, there are some precautions can not be ignored!

【Power connection and vehicle adaptability】
Car refrigerator generally through the cigarette lighter interface or directly connected to the vehicle battery to obtain power. Before connecting the power supply, be sure to confirm that the voltage of the vehicle cigarette lighter and the rated voltage of the car refrigerator match, the common car refrigerator voltage 12V and 24V two kinds. If the voltages do not match, the refrigerator may not work properly or may even damage the refrigerator or vehicle circuitry.
In addition, pay attention to the power status of the vehicle battery. Although the energy consumption of the car refrigerator is usually not high, but long time use will still consume battery power. Especially in the vehicle off state, if there is no external power supply, excessive use of the car refrigerator may make the battery loss of power, affecting the next start of the vehicle.

【Points for temperature regulation】
In winter, the outside temperature is low, the temperature regulation of the car refrigerator needs to be more delicate. Different items have different storage temperature requirements, and the temperature should be set according to the characteristics of the stored items. For example, refrigerated fruits, beverages, salads, etc., the appropriate temperature at 0 ℃ - 5 ℃; frozen meat, ice cream, etc., the temperature needs to be adjusted to -18 ℃ or so. If the temperature is set too low, it is not only a waste of energy, but also may make some items such as vegetables, dairy products, etc. frostbite, affecting the quality and taste.

【Placement and environmental considerations】
The placement of the car refrigerator is directly related to its use and life. First of all, to avoid direct sunlight, winter sunshine is not as hot as summer, but long exposure will also make the refrigerator shell temperature, increase the burden of refrigerator cooling, affecting the cooling performance, but also may accelerate the shell aging.
Secondly, do not place the car refrigerator in a place near the heat source, such as near the car engine compartment or warm air blowing directly at the mouth. The heat source will cause the temperature around the refrigerator is too high, so that it is difficult to maintain a stable low temperature inside the refrigerator, consume more power not to mention, but also may make the items deteriorate.
Inside the car, you should choose a smooth, well-ventilated location to place the refrigerator, the trunk is a common choice, with a large space and relatively smooth; if the rear seats can be put down to form a flat space, you can also be placed here, so that it is easy to get to the items. When placing the refrigerator, it can be fixed with a fixed belt or non-slip mat to prevent the refrigerator from sliding or tipping and damaging the internal parts of the refrigerator due to bumps and harsh braking during the vehicle's journey.

【Regular maintenance】
Regular maintenance is the key to prolonging the service life of the refrigerator and ensuring its stable performance. Every once in a while, to check the refrigerator cooling effect, running sound is normal, if you find that the cooling deterioration or abnormal noise, may be the refrigerator parts have problems, need timely maintenance.
Appearance, the surface of the refrigerator can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove dust and stains and keep it neat and tidy, but do not allow water to penetrate the electrical components inside the refrigerator. Internal cleaning should not be ignored, every one or two months, empty the refrigerator, unplug the power supply, use warm water mixed with neutral detergent to wipe the inner liner, shelves, door seals and other parts, and then wipe with water, dry and reuse, to prevent bacterial growth, odor residue.
