Operation

Before initial use
Note: Before starting your new cooler for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to the “cleaning and maintenance”.

The lid can be removable, or can be opened from either side in an instant, 2 ways opening – left or right.

Selecting the temperature units
Temperature display units can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit as follows:

• Switch on the cooler.
• Press the “SET”button twice.
• Use the UP+ or DOWN – buttons to select Celsius or Fahrenheit.

The selected temperature units then appear in the display for a few seconds. The display flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.

Energy-saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct sunlight
• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.
• Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the cooler unit open for longer than necessary.
• Defrost the cooler once a layer of ice forms.
• Avoid unnecessary low temperatures.

Connecting the cooler
Connecting to a battery(Vehicle or boat) The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 V
Notice : Danger of damage!

• Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the battery before you connect the battery to a quick charging device.
• Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
• For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent the polarity rever-sal. This protects the cooler against short-circuiting when connecting to a battery.
• Plug the 12/24 V connection cable into the device DC voltage socket and also into a 12 V or 24 V cigarette lighter socket.

Connecting to a 220-240 V AC mains Danger:
Danger of electrocution!

• Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are standing on a wet surface.
• If you are operating your cooler on board a boat from a mains connection of 220-240 V~, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the 220-240 V AC mains and the cooler.
• Seek advice from a trained technician.
• The cooler have an integrated multi-voltage power supply with priority circuit automatically swit-ches the cooler to mains operation, if the device is connected to a 220-240 V AC mains, even if the 12/24V connection cable is still attached.
• Plug the 220-240 V connection cable into the device AV voltage socket and connect it to the following table).

Battery monitor mode LOW            MED             HIGH

Switch-off voltage at 12 V| 10.1 V| 11.4 V| 11.8 V

Switch-off voltage at 24 V| 21.5 V| 24.1 V| 24.6 V
Restart voltage at 24 V| 23.0 V| 25.3 V| 26.2 V

The battery monitor mode can be selected as follows:

• Press the “SET” button three times

• Use the “UP+ ” or “DOWN – ” buttons to select the battery monitor mode.

• Digital display will be as follows:
  Lo(LOW), Md(MED), Hi(HIGH)

• The selected mode then appears in the display for a few seconds. The display flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.

Using the freezer

Notice! Danger of overheating!
Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the heat that generated during opera-tion can dissipate. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered. Make sure that the device is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.

• Place the Freezer on a firm foundation.
  Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered and that the heated air can dissipate.
  Note: Place the freezer as shown. If you operate the box in a different position it can be damaged. Notice: Danger from excessively low temperature!
  Ensure that the only those objects are placed in the cooler that are intended to be cooled at the selected temperature.

• Press the “ON/OFF” button for between one and two seconds.

• The LED lights up

• The display switches on and shows the current cooling temperature.
  Note: The temperature displayed is that of the middle of the large interior compartment.
  Note: When operating with the battery, the display switches off automatically if the battery voltage is low. The LED flashes orange.

Latching the cooler lid

• Close the lid.
• Press the latch down, until it latches in place audibly.

Setting the temperature

• Press the “SET” button once.
• Use the “UP + and “DOWN – buttons to select the cooling temperature.

The cooling temperature appears in the display for a few seconds. The display flashes several times then the current temperature is displayed again.
Using the emergency switch
The emergency switch is located below the control panel. For normal operation the switch is in the “NORMAL USE” position.
If an electronic control failure occurs, slide the switch to “EMERGENCY OVERRIDE” position
Note: If the switch is in the “EMERGENCY OVERRIDE” position, the cooler freezes with full cooling capacity.

Switching off the Freezer

• Empty the Freezer.
• Switch the Freezer off.
• Pull out the connection cable.
• If you do not want to use the freezer for a longer period of time: Leave the cover slightly open. This prevents odour build-up.

Defrosting the cooler
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling devices or on the evaporator. This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
Notice: Danger of damage!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place.
To defrost the freezer, proceed as follows:

• Take out the contents of the cooling device.
• If necessary, place them in another cooling device to keep them cool.
• Switch off the device.
• Leave the lid open.
• Wipe off the defrosted water.

Replacing the device fuse
Danger: Danger of electrocution!
Disconnect the connection cable before you replace the device fuse.

• Pull off the connection cable.
• Pry out the fuse insert with a screwdriver.
• Replace the defective fuse with a new one that has the same rating.
• Press the fuse insert back into the housing.

Replacing the plug fuse (12/24 V)

• Turn anticlockwise the cap to move it and pin from the plug.
• Press one end of defective fuse with a new one that has the same rating
• Re-assemble the plug in the reverse order.

Cleaning and maintenance

Warning : Always disconnect the device from the mains before you clean and service it.
Notice: Risk of damage

• Never clean the cooler under running water or in dish water.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the cooler.
• Occasionally clean the device interior and exterior with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Device does not function, LED does not glow.

| There is no voltage present in the 12/24 V socket (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.| The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles to apply current to the cigarette lighter.
No voltage present in the AC voltage socket.| Try using another plug socket.
The device fuse is defective.| Replace the device fuse, see “Replacing the device fuse”.
The integrated mains adapter is defective.| This can only be repaired by an authorized repair centre.
The device does not cool (plug is inserted “POWER” LED is lit).| Defective compressor.| This can only be repaired by an authorized customer servi- ces unit.
The device does not cool (plug is inserted, “POWER” LED flashed orange, display is swit- ched off).| Battery voltage is too low.| Test the battery and charge it as needed.

When operating from the 12/24-V socket (cigarette ligh- ter): The ignition is on and the device is not working and the LED is not lit. Pull the plug out of the socket and make the fo- llowing checks.

| The cigarette lighter  socket  is dirty. This results in a poor electrical contact.| If the plug of your cooler be- comes very warm in the ciga- rette lighter socket, either the lighter socket must be clea- ned or the plug has not been assembled correctly.
The fuse of the 12/24 V plug has blown.| Replace the fuse(10A) in the 12/24 V plug, see “ Replacing the plug fuse(12/24 V)”.
The Vehicle fuse has blown.| Replace the vehicle’s 12/24 V socket fuse(usually 15 A).
| | Please refer your vehicle’s operating manual.
The display shows an error message(e.g. “Err1”) and the appliance does not cool.| The appliance has switched off due to an internal fault.| This can only be repaired by an authorized repair centre.
