Cooling

• For faster cooling, store cold drinks in the mini-fridge.
• Temperature depends on the environment.
• The colder the ambient temperature, the cooler the mini fridge will be. Ambient temperature is the temperature of the surrounding air. For example, if the appliance is used for cooling, the item can be cooled down to 18 °C below ambient temperature: the appliance will thus keep the item cool between 5 °C and 8 °C.

Heating

• The appliance is also designed to keep warm. It is not designed to directly heat cold items
• After switching the mini fridge off, hot items will maintain their temperature for several hours, provided the door is properly closed. Temperature dwell time will vary depending on environmental conditions.
• Take care to avoid burns during the use of the mini fridge in Heating mode.

Note:
The green indicator light indicates that the Cooling mode is enabled, while the red indicator light indicates that the Heating mode is enabled

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Make sure to unplug the appliance after use and before storing it.
• Store the mini fridge in a cool, dry place. Always make sure it is completely dry before storing it.
• Always let the mini fridge dry completely with the door open before storing it. Keep the door open while the appliance reaches room temperature to avoid moisture and mold formation inside the appliance.
• Clean the mini-fridge with a soft, damp cloth. The removable shelf can be cleaned with water, neutral soap, and a soft sponge.
• It is common for condensation to form inside the mini fridge: be sure to clean it frequently to prevent bad odors and ensure proper operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The mini fridge doesn’t work

1. Check the indicator lights. If the indicator light is off or goes on and off, check the state of the electrical connection.
2. Make sure the sockets are in good condition and clean them if necessary.

The mini fridge does not reach the desired temperature

1. Make sure the switch is in the Cooling position and check if the fan is working properly. If the mini fridge malfunctions, please contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
2. The lowest possible temperature depends on the surrounding environment, but won’t fall below 0 °C (32 °F). The colder the ambient temperature, the cooler the mini fridge will be.

Tips for better cooling

• Place the appliance more than 5 cm away from the wall to ensure good heat dissipation.
• To ensure optimum performance, do not use the mini fridge in places with a high ambient temperature.
• Avoid direct cooling of hot objects.

Condensation/frost appearing inside

• The mini fridge works on a thermoelectric system and the difference in temperature between inside and outside or frequent opening of the door will cause interior condensation or frost formation, which is normal.
• It is not recommended to keep the door open or to open or close it frequently. Do not attempt to directly cool down hot items.
