SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In order to reduce the injuries or damages, follow basic safety precautions applied when using any electrical device, including the following:

• ⚠ Warning: Do not touch exposed cables.
• ⚠ Warning: Do not use fridge if you suspect any connections could be wet.
• Make sure the source voltage is correct with the voltage data on the technical data label.
• Do not place any electrical devices inside the refrigerator as moisture could harm these devices!
• Prevent the fans from being stuck. The fans being stuck will heat the engine and cause fire.
• Don’t disassemble nor attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
• Turn off and disconnect the device from power supply before cleaning and maintenance.
• The products should be stored in plastic containers or bottles.
• This appliance may be used by children who are above 8 years old and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised and guided by a person who is responsible for their safety in a cautious manner, and all the safety precautions are understood and followed. Children should not play with this device. Children should not perform cleaning and servicing of the device unsupervised.
• IMPORTANT: use ONLY ONE source of energy at the same time (AC mains supply 230 V /DC battery 12 V / gas supply). Do not connect to two power supplies at a time!
• Any repairs (including cooling system and gas supply connection) can only be carried out by a qualified technician.

NOTES ON USING THE PRODUCT

• Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 10 cm around the vents and 5 cm around the rest of the unit.
• Avoid humidity: Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling.
• Do not allow frost to build up. Never submerge the unit in any liquid.
• Avoid placing your refrigerator near heat sources or in direct sunlight. This helps the refrigerator to work more efficiently and keep the contents cool.
• Place the refrigerator on a flat and stable surface. When using the fridge in a vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it.
• Clean the interior of the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth before first use.
• To obtain optimized cooling effect, we suggest putting in pre-chilled foods and drinks.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• Select a well-ventilated place and keep the fridge away from heat or direct sunlight;
• Ensure the is space around the contents for circulation of cold air.
• Cool the food before putting into the fridge;
• Reduce the times and duration of opening the fridge cover;
• Defrost regularly;
• Set optimum temperature.

OPERATION

OPERATION USING THE MAINS – 230 V
Never use another source of energy at the same time (battery or gas).
Turn the 230 V thermostat knob (left) clockwise to position max. After about one hour the effects of the cooling process become visible: frost on the inside evaporator. The thermostat enables the temperature of the mobile fridge to be adjusted. After a cooling period of about 5 hours, the thermostat can be set on a desired position; this position is influenced by the surrounding temperature and the intensity of use. At the position min. the cooling process is stopped. The appliance is switched off by removing the plug from the wall socket.

OPERATION USING A BATTERY (12 V)
Do not use another source of energy at the same time (mains or gas). A safety fuse must be installed in the power supply line between the battery and the mobile fridge.
When the appliance is powered by a car battery, only switch the mobile fridge on while the car engine is on. If the appliance remains switched on when the car engine is stopped, the battery will be discharged and it may be impossible to restart the engine.
When using a battery as a power source, there is no thermostatically controlled temperature regulation.
Pre-cool the mobile fridge on the mains before starting a journey and try to put only pre-cooled products in the mobile fridge.
To start up the unit connect the supplied cable at the back in the 12 V socket and put the corresponding side into the cigar lighter socket of the vehicle. To disconnect, remove the connector from the cigar lighter socket.

OPERATION USING GAS CYLINDER
Operation on gas is prohibited in closed areas, in vehicles and on boats. The appliance must be used in a well ventilated area when operating on gas. This means that it can also be used under the canopy of a tent if sufficiently ventilated. In all cases the location should be protected from rain and/or splashing.
Do not use another source of energy at the same time (mains or battery). The gas cylinder must be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area and never in a basement or a cellar. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to high temperatures.

The appliance cannot operate at a pressure other than the one specified on the identification label at the back. It is recommended to use an appropriate pressure regulator.
During connection of the mobile fridge to the gas cylinder, always stay clear of any sort of ignition and do not smoke. Connect in the order gas cylinder – pressure regulator – appliance. Excessive twisting and bending of the flexible hose must be avoided. Check for leaks only by means of soapy water. Never check for leaks using a flame.
When changing the gas cylinder or disconnecting the hose, it is necessary to close the valve of the gas cylinder. Always replace a damaged or porous hose.

The gas valve knob (right) is a combination of temperature control and ignition. Furthermore, the gas valve assembly consists of an incorporated safety pilot, a burner with an ignition plug and a piezo-electric igniter. The safety pilot automatically maintains the gas supply as long as it remains lit. It automatically shuts off the supply of gas if the flame goes out.

Open the gas valve of the gas cylinder, press the gas valve knob in the panel, wait approx. 15 seconds, turn the pressed knob to the right, a click of the igniter can be heard and the gas flame is ignited. Hold the knob pressed in this position so that the flame remains burning. It might be possible that this operation has to be repeated a couple of times, especially if the appliance has not been used for a long time or if the gas cylinder has been changed. There can be air in the system, which has to be forced out. It is necessary to check that the pilot is lit by looking through the orifice at the top of the unit or through the hole at the back near the burner. If the flame fails to light, wait at least a minute before trying again. Leave the knob for some time in max. position, after a sufficiently long cool-down period, a lower position can be selected. To disconnect the mobile fridge running on gas: close the valve of the gas cylinder and then turn the gas valve knob in the panel to position ‘press’.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean the appliance inside and outside with a soft, damp cloth regularly. In case of stubborn stains, use sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water to clean the unit.
• Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the refrigerator.
• After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. Do not leave the refrigerator off with food inside or lid closed.
• Never clean the appliance under running water.
