Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Verify the household outlet and branch-circuit rated current before connecting the portable charger.
- 02
Plug the ICCB into the household outlet, leave it disconnected from the Niro EV and check the control-box display.
- 03
Hold the control-box setting button for two to eight seconds to enter charge-level adjustment.
- 04
Cycle the display to 12, 10, 8 or 6 amps without exceeding the outlet and circuit capacity.
- 05
After the setting is complete, park and switch the Niro off, connect the vehicle and confirm charging starts.
Important limits
- The manual's amperage table is an example; the selected current must match the actual outlet and breaker capacity.
- Never use an extension cord, damaged outlet or loose receptacle for vehicle charging.
- Stop immediately if the outlet or control box overheats or produces a burning odor.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the current will not change, confirm the charger is plugged into the outlet but not connected to the vehicle.
- ✓If the FAULT light appears, unplug the ICCB, inspect the connection and follow the control-box diagnosis in the manual.
- ✓If a breaker trips, stop charging and have a qualified electrician verify the circuit before retrying at any setting.
