Display elements and cool box operation

NOTICE

• Before staring your new cool box for the first time, please lay the new cooling device horizontally for more than 10 hours before starting.
• Before staring your new cool box for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons. Please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”.

Display & control panel

The cool box is equipped with a display and control panel for easy operation. Please refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on using the display and control panel.

Cooling temperature setting

The cool box allows you to set the desired cooling temperature. Please refer to the user manual for instructions on how to adjust the cooling temperature.

• Switch on: Touch the “ON/OFF” button once with your finger.
• Switch off: Touch and hold your finger on the “ON/OFF” button for about 5-7 seconds.

Cooling temperature setting:

• Switch on the cool box.
• Select temperature display unit: First touch the button “DOWN” without releasing. At the same time use another finger to touch the button “SET” without releasing. Keep your two fingers on the two buttons “SET” and “DOWN” for about 10 seconds. There will be a flashing “°C” or “°F” appearing in the display screen. Release your two fingers from the two buttons “DOWN” and “SET”. Then touch the button “UP” or “DOWN” to select temperature unit Celsius or Fahrenheit. The selected temperature unit will appear and flash in the display screen for a few seconds, and then the display screen will return to display the current temperature automatically.
• Cooling temperature setting: Touch the button “SET” once, then touch the “UP+” and “DOWN -” buttons to set the cooling temperature you want. The selected temperature will flash in the display screen for a few seconds, and then the display screen will automatically return to display the current temperature.

Low voltage protection battery monitor setting

The cool box is equipped with a low voltage protection battery monitor to prevent excessive discharging of the vehicle battery when connected to the on- board DC supply. The user manual provides information on different battery monitor levels and their corresponding switch-off and restart voltages. The cool box is equipped with a 3-level battery monitor which protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the device is connected to the on-board DC supply.
If the cool box is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cool box switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooler will switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.

NOTICE! Danger of damage!
When switched off by the battery monitor, the battery will no longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating without longer charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged.
At level “H3”, the battery monitor responds faster than at levels “H1” and “H2”.

When the cool box is powered by the car battery, select the battery monitor level “H3”.
If the cooling device is connected to a supply battery, the battery monitor level “H1” will suffice.
Switch on the cooling device.

1. Touch the buttons ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ at the same time for about five seconds and the display will show a flashing ‘H1’, ‘H2’ or ‘H3’.
2. Touch the button ‘UP +’ or ‘DOWN -‘ to select the battery monitor level ‘H1’ or ‘H2’ or ‘H3’ to protect your vehicle battery.
3. The selected monitor level will flash on the display for a few seconds. The display will flash several times before returning to the current temperature.

When using the cool box with a car battery, select the battery monitor level H3. If connected to a supply battery, the H1 level will suffice.

NOTICE: When the cool box is switched off by the battery monitor, the battery may not be fully charged. Avoid repeated starting or operating without longer charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged.
