General information

Refrigeration appliances are classified into certain climate classes. Please refer to the product data sheet for information on the classification for this unit; the data sheet can be found at the end of this manual.
It should be operated in conditions where the relative humidity is no more than 70 %.
The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains details of the ambient temperature range suitable for this appliance.
This cool-box uses thermo-electric technology and is therefore able to provide cooling as well as heating. The appliance cools down as low as 20 °C below ambient temperature, and heats up to 50-60 °C.

Before using for the first time

Remove any packaging materials and clean the unit as described in the section Cleaning and care.

Lid

The lid can be locked by folding the carrying handle over towards the hinged side of the lid. To unlock, move the handle to the opposite side.
The lid has two circular covers. The right-hand one with the (←|→) arrow markings can be opened by turning it. The compartment below contains the operating switches , indicator light and power supply cables.

Operation mode selector switch
COLD The cooling function is switched on.
OFF The appliance is switched off.
HOT The heating function is switched on.

Power mode selector switch
ECO The appliance is in power-saving mode (can only be selected in 220-240 V mode). Recommended if the cool-box is only partly filled.
OFF The appliance is switched off.
MAX Appliance operating at maximum power.

Indicator lights

Operation

Open right-hand cover on the lid by turning it.
Ensure that both switches are in the Off-position. Connect the 12 V plug to a 12 V cigarette lighter socket; or insert the mains plug into a suitable wall outlet.
Set the left switch to COLD or HOT.
Set the right switch to the desired power mode ECO or MAX.
The appropriate indicator light will come on.
Close the right-hand cover, ensuring that the cable being used runs through the guide in the cover. Place the items to be cooled into the cool-box.
When not being used, the cool-box should always be switched off, and the cable disconnected from its power source.
Do not change directly from one operating mode to another. Always wait 30 minutes before doing so.

Hints

Cooling
To achieve optimum cooling, the cool-box should be filled with pre-chilled food and/ or beverages.
With warm or non-chilled food and beverages, the cooling process will take considerably longer.

Keeping warm
Using the keep-warm function, food and beverages may be kept warm. Again, warming up cold food and beverages will take some considerable time.

12 V connection:
If the cool box is connected to a car battery, but with the engine switched off, do not allow it to over-discharge (unless there is a deep-discharge protection). With the engine running, the cool-box may be left connected for an unlimited time.

Lid
To prevent unnecessary heat loss, open the lid as little as possible and shut it again as soon as you can.

Cleaning and care

Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the appliance has completely cooled down.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water, and do not immerse it in water.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
The lid is removable for easy cleaning – lift it up to about 45° and then pull it off of its hinges. Replace the lid after cleaning.
The lid may be wiped with a slightly moist cloth. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
If necessary, the cool-box may be cleaned with a moist cloth using a little mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards.

Troubleshooting

The cool-box is connected to a 12 V power source but does not work. In addition, the electric fan is not turning. Possible causes:

The 12 V cigarette-lighter socket in your vehicle only works with the ignition turned on.
- Switch on the ignition
The contact surfaces on the 12 V connecting plug may be dirty or corroded.
- Clean the contacts thoroughly
