Using the “Sleep” mode

The “Sleep” mode will only last 10 hours. The cooler will automatically resume to normal operating mode after 10 hours.

If the “Sleep” mode is active and the power supply is disconnected and then connected again, the status of “Sleep” mode will not be influenced.

  • Press slightly the setting button (fig. 4 4, page 4) to enter the “Sleep” mode.
  • The Power Status LED is glowing and the internal lamp (fig.4 1, page 4) turns off.
  • In “Sleep” mode the internal and external fan stops running, the cooling will be paused.
  • In order to quit the “Sleep” mode, slightly press the setting button (fig. 4 4, page 4) again.
  • The Power Status LED is glowing and the internal lamp (fig.4 1, page 4) turns on.

You can use the setting button (fig.4 4, page 4) to set the cooling temperature to one of three values (5 °C, 12 °C and 7 °C).

Thereby the temperature will be changed in the order 5 °C … 12 °C … 7 °C … 5 °C etc.

  • Press the setting button (fig.4 4, page 4) and keep it pressed for 5 s, until the internal lamp (fig. 4 1, page 4) starts to blink.
  • Press immediately the setting button (fig.4 4, page 4) again.
  • The internal lamp (fig.4 1, page 4) indicates the setting temperature:
    • 5 °C: the lamp flashes five times in three intervals
    • 12 °C: the lamp flashes once in three intervals
    • 7 °C: the lamp flashes three times in three intervals

Note iconNOTE
