Coleman ‎5645 Thermoelectric Cooler 120-Volt Adapter

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS TO AVOID INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE

WARNING

1. To help prevent food poisoning, keep cooked foods at 140 °F or hotter. If the food temperature drops below 140 °F for 2 hours, reheat thoroughly before serving.
2. Do not heat-sealed containers. These containers may burst from internal pressure which increases during heating, thereby causing personal injury or damage to the cooler.
3. Always shelter your cooler and optional power supply from rain and snow. Water splashed on the power supply, fan motor, or other electrical parts may result in fire, causing personal injury or component failure.
4. This cooler operates only on power sources ranging from 9.5 to 14.4 Volts DC. These are voltages typically found in the batteries of cars and trucks. Connecting the cooler, without adaptation, directly to a 120 Volt AC wall socket will destroy the fan motor and the Thermoelectric Module.
5. The power cord has a fuse for extra circuit protection. For continued protection against the risk of fire replace with only the same type and ratings of fuse. Fuse: Bussman #MDL-7-R 6. Do not use ice in this cooler. Water from the melting ice may damage the fan motor or create frost buildup on the inside aluminum fins.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This cooler may be operated in either a horizontal or vertical position. When used in the vertical position, make sure that the cooling vent is always positioned at the top and that it is never covered. The cooler’s lid may be removed and then, for additional convenience, reinstalled to open in the opposite direction.

To change the direction of the lid’s opening:

1. Place the cooler with its back surface on the floor.
2. Open the lid until it contacts the two built-in stops for the lid.
3. Now, open the lid still further until it pops out of the cooler’s case.
4. Switch the latch plate and cover plate on the liner so that the latch plate will match reversed lid opening.
5. Rotate the lid, and replace the lid on the cooler case.
6. Push down on the lid near its hinge pins until they are positively engaged in the hinge sockets of the case.

NOTE: This cooler generates heat. Consequently, it needs free circulation of air to perform properly. Its fan must be able to breathe. Do not place anything on top of the cooling vent. Never operate the cooler in hot, enclosed environments – automobile trunks, for example. While using the cooler in parked vehicles, open the windows slightly.

Continuous operation is possible when the cooler is connected to the following power sources:

1. The CIGARETTE-LIGHTER RECEPTACLE of a vehicle with its engine running.
2. A 12-Volt (6 to 10 AMPERE AUTOMATIC) or a 12-Volt (6 AMPERE NONAUTOMATIC) battery charger connected to a 12-Volt battery, see Figure 1.
3. A Coleman® POWER SUPPLY Model No. 2000000251 connected to a 120-Volt 60Hz wall socket. (See accessories section.)

PLEASE NOTE: When a vehicle’s battery is not being charged (usually when the vehicle’s engine is not running), this cooler should not be operated for more than about 4 hours. The longer operation will almost always shorten the battery’s life in the long term and diminish its starting power in the short term. (See the following section on RV/ Marine batteries for battery usage over extended periods of time.)

PLEASE NOTE: Battery chargers have an AC output that will damage the fan motor and reduce cooling performance. The 12-volt battery in the circuit removes this harmful AC output.)

KEEPING FOODS AND BEVERAGES COLD

1. Connect the POWER CORD LINK with the BLUE thermometer symbols aligned, as shown in Figure 2.
2. Connect the cooler to one of the power sources previously mentioned. 3. This cooler will not chill foods and beverages as fast as your home refrigerator. Please don’t expect it to do so. An empty cooler will cool down in about 3m hours. Warm items placed in the cooler will slow the cooling rate.

TIPS

Use these simple techniques to accelerate your cooler’s rate of cooling and prolong its chilling power.

1. For faster cooling, prechill items of food and drink in your home refrigerator before placing them in the cooler. Whenever possible, purchase beverages that have already been chilled. Use frozen Coleman® Brite Ice® ice substitutes to chill the cooler’s contents even quicker.
2. Do not use ice in this cooler. Water from the melting ice may damage the fan motor or create frost buildup on the inside aluminum fins.
3. On average, the inside of your cooler will be about 42 °F cooler than the surrounding temperature. For example, if the surrounding temperature is 80 °F, the cooler will be about 38 °F.
4. If the surrounding temperature is less than 74 °F, don’t prechill food or beverages. At cooler operating temperatures (below 74 °F), keep the cooler full to avoid unwanted freezing of items.

KEEPING FOODS AND BEVERAGES HOT

This cooler may also be used as a food warmer by reversing the power cord link.

1. Connect the power cord link with the RED thermometer symbols aligned. See Figure 3.
2. Connect the cooler to one of the power sources previously mentioned.
3. The cooler is now operating in heating mode. The maximum inside temperature is reached within about 2 hours.

TIPS

Use these simple techniques to maximize your cooler’s heating power and ensure its efficient use.

1. Thoroughly cook all hot foods – especially meat, poultry, and fish – before placing them in the cooler. Wrap hot food containers in several layers of newspaper to hold the temperature higher and to prevent burns to yourself and damage to the cooler’s interior.
2. The cooler heats to 110 °F to 140 °F surrounding temperature of 25 °F or above. At surrounding temperatures below 25 °F the cooler temperature will be about 100 °F warmer than the surrounding temperature.
3. WARNING: To help prevent food poisoning, keep cooked foods at 140 °F or hotter. Again, wrapping foods in layers of newspaper helps to hold heat. If the food temperature drops below 140 °F for 2 hours, reheat thoroughly before serving.
4. Also, do not heat-sealed containers. These containers may burst from internal pressure which increases during heating, thereby causing personal injury or damage to the cooler.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the cooler before cleaning or servicing your cooler

1. All surfaces may be cleaned with a small amount of dishwashing solution applied with a damp sponge. Do not oversaturate the sponge. Towel dry all water from inside the cooler.
2. Tough stains may be removed with an all-purpose liquid cleaner sprayed on the stain and then scrubbed with a plastic scrubber or brush. All liquid cleaners should be removed with a damp sponge.
3. To prevent odors from accumulating in the cooler, leave the lid open for several hours after each use.
4. Defrost your cooler if you notice diminished cooling capability, ice buildup on internal fins, or notice less airflow through the internal fins. Your cooler may be easily defrosted by following these steps:
   • Remove all items from the cooler.
   • Turn off the cooler.
   • Place the cooler in its horizontal position with the lid open.
   • Allow to defrost completely.
   • Sponge or towel all water from inside the cooler.
   • Reconnect power to cooler and return items.
5. At least once a year remove the cooling vent cover and brush any lint and dirt from the fan blades and outside heat sink with a soft-bristled brush. Lint on these parts will reduce the cooling ability of the cooler. All other parts of the cooler may be cleaned with a sponge or brush and dishwashing solution.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PLEASE NOTE: Attempt each of these potential solutions in sequence until the problem is corrected. If, for example, better power cord connectivity starts the fan rotating, there is no need to replace the fuse. Before troubleshooting your cooler, defrost the cooler by following the steps in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section, item #4.

IF THE FAN DOES NOT ROTATE:

1. Make sure the power cord is inserted fully in the vehicle’s socket or in the socket of the optional Coleman® Power Supply.

2. Check the fuse in the power cord to make sure it is not burned out. If yes, replace it with the same type and rated fuse. Fuse: Bussman #MDL-7-R

3. If using the optional power supply, check to see if the cooler works in a vehicle. If the cooler operation is normal in a vehicle, then replace the power supply. (Power supply output should be 12 VDC @ 5 AMPS).

4. Make sure the power cord link is tightly connected.

5. Check the vehicle’s cigarette lighter fuse to make sure it is not burned out. If yes, replace the fuse.
   IF THE FAN ROTATES WITH NO COOLING OR HEATING:

6. If using an optional power supply, check to see if the cooler works in a vehicle. If the cooler operation is normal in a vehicle, then replace the power supply. (Power supply output should be 12 VDC.)
