Set it to approximately +4°C for food and drinks, or choose a negative temperature when frozen food, meat or ice cream must remain frozen.

27-Litre Portable Capacity

The 27-litre interior provides useful storage space while keeping the appliance compact enough for transport. It can hold bottled drinks, cans, food containers, fruit, meat, snacks and other travel essentials.

Its robust construction makes it suitable for regular transport and use during road trips, camping holidays, outdoor events and professional travel.

Use It in the Car or at Home

The Midea MERP27FGE30EU supports multiple power sources for greater flexibility:

• 12V DC for most passenger cars
• 24V DC for compatible vans, trucks and commercial vehicles
• AC 100–240V, 50/60Hz through the appropriate AC adapter

This means the refrigerator can cool products during the journey and then continue operating from a suitable AC power source after reaching the destination.

Digital Temperature Control

The integrated digital control panel allows the user to select and monitor the temperature easily. The temperature can be adjusted using the plus and minus buttons, while the display shows the operating temperature.

A control-lock function helps prevent accidental changes while the refrigerator is being transported or used around children.

MAX and ECO Cooling Modes

The appliance provides two operating modes:

• MAX Mode: prioritises faster cooling performance.
• ECO Mode: helps reduce energy consumption during normal operation.

MAX mode is useful when the refrigerator has just been loaded or when products need to cool quickly. ECO mode is suitable for maintaining an already established temperature more efficiently.

Vehicle Battery Protection

An intelligent battery-protection system helps reduce the risk of excessive vehicle battery discharge. The protection level can be selected between H1, H2 and H3.

• H1: low protection level
• H2: medium protection level and factory default
• H3: high battery protection level

For regular use in a passenger car, H2 or H3 is generally the safer setting. If the display shows an E1 low-voltage warning, the battery-protection level may need to be reduced according to the vehicle’s available voltage.

How to Use the Midea MERP27FGE30EU

1. Position the Refrigerator Correctly

Place the refrigerator on a stable and level surface. During long-term operation, the appliance should remain horizontal, with an inclination of no more than approximately 5 degrees.

Do not cover the ventilation openings. Leave sufficient free space around the compressor and ventilation area so that heat can escape properly.

2. Allow It to Stand Before First Use

After unpacking or transporting the refrigerator, place it upright and allow it to stand before switching it on. The official user manual recommends allowing the unit to rest for more than 24 hours after unpacking.

This is particularly important if the refrigerator was transported on its side, heavily tilted or turned upside down.

3. Connect It to a Power Source

For vehicle use: connect the DC cable to the refrigerator and then to a suitable 12V or 24V vehicle socket.

For home or indoor use: connect the refrigerator using the compatible AC adapter and then connect the adapter to an AC 100–240V power supply.

Use only the correct cable and adapter intended for the appliance.

4. Switch the Refrigerator On

Press and hold the power button for approximately three seconds. The control panel and temperature display will switch on.

5. Unlock the Control Panel

The buttons automatically lock to prevent accidental operation. Press and hold the unlock button for approximately two seconds to unlock the controls.

If no button is pressed for approximately 20 seconds, the control panel will lock again automatically.

6. Set the Required Temperature

Use the plus and minus buttons to select a temperature between -20°C and +20°C.

• Choose approximately +4°C for normal refrigeration.
• Choose +2°C to +5°C for drinks.
• Choose approximately -18°C for frozen food.

The refrigerator will begin cooling and will cycle the compressor automatically to maintain the selected temperature.

How Does the Midea Car Fridge Cool?

The Midea MERP27FGE30EU uses a compressor refrigeration system, similar in principle to a household refrigerator.

The compressor circulates refrigerant through a sealed cooling circuit. Heat is absorbed from inside the storage compartment and released through the exterior ventilation system. As the internal temperature falls, the electronic controller monitors the temperature and switches the compressor on or off as required.

This active compressor system allows the appliance to cool below the surrounding temperature and reach settings as low as -20°C. It therefore provides much stronger cooling than a passive insulated box that only keeps pre-cooled products cold.

It is normal to hear the compressor, the cooling fan or the sound of refrigerant moving through the system during operation.
