Connecting the compressor cooler
12 V / 24 volts (DC) ➤ Plug the DC connection cable into the DC socket and connect it to a DC receptacle. 230 volt (AC) ➤ Plug the supplied power supply unit into a 230 V~ socket and connect it to the cooler.

Operating settings
Switching on/off

• Connect the cooler to the desired power supply.
• Press the ON/OFF button to start the device.
• Press the ON/OFF button again to switch the device off.

Setting the target temperature
Press the + (for warmer) or – (for colder) button to set the target temperature to your preference. The device adopts the last displayed value as the target temperature.

Changing the operating mode (Eco mode & Max mode)
ECO mode (energy saving mode) / MAX mode (fast cooling mode)

1. Press the SET button ( ) to enter the ECO (economy) operating mode.
2. Press the SET button ( ) again to return to MAX (maximum) mode.
3. The factory setting of the cooler is MAX mode.

Setting the battery monitor

The device is equipped with a three-stage battery monitor, which is intended to protect your vehicle battery fromdeep discharge during 12-volt operation.
If the cooling unit is operated in the vehicle with the ignition switched off, the cooling unit switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage drops below the set value.

1. Press the SET button ( ) for 3 seconds.
2. The battery monitor level (L, M, H) set starts flashing in the display.
3. The battery monitor level can be changed by pressing the SET button ( ) again.
4. The following settings are available for selection: L = 9 V / M = 11.5 V / H = 12 V
5. Select the desired level and wait until the flashing stops, the level is now set and is shown in the display.

NOTE : Note that the battery monitor function is always active during 12 volt operation and so the cooler may unexpectedly  stop cooling and only resume operation again once the DC supply voltage is above the set battery monitor voltage.

Recommendations:

• When using a TRAVELBOX or another battery generator as a power source, it is recommended to set the battery monitor to “L” (Low) to ensure a long operating time.

• If the compressor cooler is connected directly to the battery of a car or commercial vehicle, the battery protection should be set to H3 (H) to ensure that the remaining battery capacity is sufficient to start the vehicle. The settings
  H2 (M) and H1 (L) are only recommended in vehicles if the compressor cooler is operated via an auxiliary battery in the car or commercial vehicle.

• As a rule, the power supply via the normal 12 volt socket is interrupted in most vehicles as soon as the ignition is switched off and thus the power supply to the cool box is also switched off. However, if it is possible to draw power from your vehicle even when the ignition is switched off, we also recommend setting the battery protection monitor to H3 (H) for the reasons mentioned above.

• Caution! Vehicles may have different output voltages, make sure that the output voltage and the input voltage match.

• If the display shows an error (F1), set the battery monitor correctly.

• Please use the picture below as a guide for disassembly and assembly

Maintenance, cleaning & defrosting

ATTENTION : Before performing any maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical device from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet.
Do not use aggressive solvents or cleaning agents such as scouring agents, bleach, soap powder, alkaline cleaning agents, petrol, acid, etc. to clean the lid seals and plastic parts.

• Disconnect the device from the power source.
• Open the lid and remove all the refrigerated goods from the cooler.
• Remove coarse dirt and any condensation from the interior.
• Clean the inside and outside surfaces of the cooler with a soft cloth moistened with warm water.
• If heavily soiled, use a neutral cleaning agent to clean the cooler. Then rub the surfaces dry with a soft, clean cloth.
• The cleaning intervals depend on the degree of soiling of the cooler box.
• If you are going to be absent for a longer period, remove all food from the cooler and unplug it from the mains. Clean it by the instructions above and store the cooler with the lid slightly open to prevent mold. Then place the cooler in a ventilated place. The same applies if you do not use the cooler for a longer period.
• Store the device in a dry, frost-proof place.

Note : All types of repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel.

• The unit contains HFC 1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, trade name: R-1234yf) as refrigerant with a very low GWP value (global warming potential) of 4 (based on 100 years, CO2 = 1). 1234yf is a combustible, colorless gas with a faint inherent odor.
• Keep ignition sources away from the unit. The gas is under high pressure in the refrigerant circuit. There is arisk of fire and explosion if it escapes uncontrolled. Immediately take the unit out of operation and contact an authorized specialist if you suspect that refrigerant has escaped.
• All persons who work on the refrigerant circuit must be appropriately trained and have certificates from an accredited certification body.

Defrosting the cooling unit
In the following cases, the cool box must be defrosted urgently:

• Ice can form inside the cool box during prolonged operation. This reduces the cooling performance and thus also increases the power consumption. In addition, ice formation can also affect the proper closing of the lid.
• Humidity in the air can form frost inside the cooling unit, which also reduces the cooling performance. Defrost the cooling unit in good time and regularly.

Proceed as follows to defrost the cooling unit:

• Switch off the cooling box and disconnect the mains plug.
• Open the lid and remove all items from the cooling unit.
• If necessary, store the goods in another cooling unit so that they stay cold and do not thaw out.
• Leave the lid open to defrost the ice more quickly.
• Never use hard, sharp or pointed tools to remove the layers of ice or to loosen frozen items. Disregard can cause damage to the unit.
• Remove the drain plug in the base to allow the water condensate to drain out. Dry the interior with a soft cloth.
• Close the drain plug.
• The cooler is now ready for use again

Problems & faults

The following operating noises may occur during normal operation and do not indicate a malfunction:

• When starting or stopping the compressor, the refrigerant flow may cause a strong humming, gurgling or pulsating noise.
• Metallic vibration sounds may be heard from the compressor when the device starts working and the cooler starts cooling.

If the device does not operate or start:

• Check the mains connection (if using vehicle power, check the ignition).
