OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Just plug your cooler into the 12 volt receptacle in your vehicle. The current consumed is about 4.5 amps, except P9, which consumes 3.5 amps.When your vehicle is running and the electrical system is operating properly, your cooler will operate continuously without discharging the battery. When the battery is not being charged, the cooler should not be operated for more than 4 hours.
The cooler can be operated continuously from a 110/120 volt AC wall outlet using the optional Koolatron Power Pack.
For best results, precool your unit and the food and beverages before placing them in your cooler. If the cooler is loaded with warm material, it will require at least 12 hours to cool the contents.
The cooler can be operated in the heating mode, by reversing the polarity of the power supplied to the cooler. This can easily be done by gently pulling out the power cord from the cord connector, reversing the bi-pin plug and pushing it back in.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE

Keep cords and cigarette lighter sockets clean at all times. Dirt particles in the socket or the plug may affect performance.
The motor, fan and control panel vents should be cleaned periodically. While the unit is unplugged, clean the fan blades and motor shaft using a paint brush or other soft bristled brush. Remove all hair, dirt, or dust that may have accumulated.
To clean, wipe the inside with a warm damp cloth or sponge. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. A mild soap should be sufficient, but if stains or odours remain, household bleach or baking soda may be added to the washing solution. Keep the lid open for several hours after cleaning to allow the interior to thoroughly dry and to prevent odours from forming in the cooler.
For long periods of storage, a small container of baking soda or charcoal, placed inside, will eliminate objectionable odours.

PRECAUTIONS

The cooler is designed to operate on 12 volts direct current only. Do not attempt to connect the cooler directly to 110/120 volt AC wall socket without using the optional Koolatron Power Pack.
Do not use the cooler with any other AC adapter device other than the optional Koolatron Power Pack. Failure to do so may invalidate warranty and pose a hazard.
Do not operate the cooler in direct sunlight or in hot enclosed areas such as automobile trunks. The cooler generates heat and musthave free air circulation to perform properly.
Do not block the ventilation area of the control panel. Free flow of air is necessary for effective heat transfer. Regularly check thepanel for dirty or clogged vents.
The aluminum fins in the cooler will be hot when used in the heating mode. Exercise care to avoid injury. The aluminum fins in the control panel area will be hot after extended use in the cold mode. Allow time for cooling before removing panel.
For safe handling of food, the cooler should not be used as a food warmer for extende periods of time.
Ensure that the cigarette lighter socket is clean and safeguarded by a correctly fused circuit.
Push the plug firmly into the lighter socket to ensure good contact.
