• 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 that 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 polarity reversal. 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 has an integrated multi-voltage power supply with a priority circuit that automatically switches the cooler to mains operation if the device is connected to 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 220-240 V AC voltage mains

Notice: Danger of damage!
When switched off by the battery monitor, the battery will no longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers without longer charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged!
