• The cooling circuit is a hermetically sealed system and must not be opened.
• Protect the appliance against open flames and hot surfaces.
• Do not fill appliance with water or other liquid for longer periods because the water acts as a breeding ground for bacteria. Also beware of melting ice when the temperature inside the appliance is not low enough. Food stored in the appliance shall be stored in appropriate containers.
• If your appliance has been turned off or lost power with food stored inside, exercise caution and do not consume the food.
• Do not attempt to remove frost from the appliance with a scraper or knife. Serious damage to the cooling system could occur.
• Buildup of heat in a vehicle can be extreme. The appliance will shut down at extreme temperatures if cooling is not possible.
• The Cooler must not be used at very dusty locations (e.g. at the beach), as dust and and sand grains could be sucked in and damage the appliance.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• This appliance complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
  – (1) this appliance may not cause harmful interference, and
  – (2) this appliance must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Important product information

• The appliance requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator. Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the heat that arises during operation does not build up. Make sure that the appliance is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered.
• For best performance operate the appliance in environments whereunder the ambient temperature is +10 °C / 50 °F to +43 °C / 109 °F. Beyond these temperatures performance will drop and power consumption increase. Do not operate the appliance in environments where the ambient temperature exceeds +43 °C / 109 °F.
• The lower the ambient temperature, the lower the power usage. In order to maximize efficiency keep the appliance in a cool location out of direct sunlight.
• Do not allow a large amount of ice to build up on the inside walls as this may impair cooling. Defrost by turning the appliance off, allowing the ice to melt and wipe out the water or remove the drain plug.
• It is recommended to operate the appliance on a flat surface, but it will operate at angles up to 30º.
• The appliance may make more noise if operated on a surface lean of over 15°, but this should not have an effect on refrigeration.
• Damage may occur if the DC cable supply is not appropriately sized. This will cause low voltage. The table below provides recommended cable sizing from battery to appliance:

• When using the appliance ensure the circuit being used has a fuse or circuit breaker. The recommended size for DC 12 V is 10 A, DC 24 V is 5 A.
• Make sure that the voltage data on the type plate matches the existing power supply. Incorrect mains supply can damage the appliance. This is especially important for AC generators that can generate voltage spikes.
• If your appliance is plugged in to a DC vehicle socket, ensure that you disconnect from power when the vehicle is not in use to prevent battery drainage.
• Never disconnect the appliance by pulling the cable instead of the plug.
