Before initial use

Unpack the cool box.
Check the cool box for signs of damage. If the cool box is damaged, it must not be put into operation.

Initial use

For hygiene reasons, we recommend cleaning the cool box before using it for the first time. Refer to the chapter section “8.3. Cleaning” for this.

• The cool box is not suitable for continuous use! The maximum operating time is six days. Switch off the cool box for at least two hours when it reaches the maximum operating time.
• An odour typical for the product due to the materials used may be noticeable on the inside of the cool box before it is used for the first time.
• While this odour is no cause for concern, we recommend washing the inside and outside of the cool box with a damp cloth for hygiene reasons before it is put into use (also see section ‘8.3. Cleaning’). Also do not store unpackaged food.
• The cool box turns off in warming mode when an interior temperature of about 65 °C is reached.

Filling the Cool Box

Fold the handle [5] to the front so the embossed ‘OPEN’ is visible. Then open the lid [2]. Place the food and drinks inside the cool box. It is best to use pre-chilled food and drinks if you intend to cool them. Close the lid [2] after filling. Fold the handle [5] to the back so the embossed ‘CLOSED’ is visible.

Transporting the Cool Box

You can carry the cool box using the handle [5].

Switching the Cool Box On and Off

12 V Mode

WARNING! You must ensure that your vehicle has a 12 V in-car electrical system. The cool box must not be put into operation with a 24 V in-car electrical system.

Take the connecting cable with cigarette lighter socket connection [1] out of the cable box [3]. Unwind the connecting cable fully. Set the operating mode selection switch [6] to ‘COLD’ for cooling food or ‘HOT’ to keep food warm. Now plug the cigarette lighter socket connection [1] into a suitable cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle. The cool box is now switched on. To switch off the cool box, remove the cigarette lighter socket connection [1] from the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle.

• The output controller [7] on the front of the cool box does not function in 12 V mode. The cool box operates at maximum output. An interior temperature that is at most 20°C cooler than the ambient temperature can be achieved (based on an ambient temperature of 23°C). In warming mode, an interior temperature no higher than 65 °C can be achieved (based on an ambient temperature of 23°C).
• As cigarette lighter sockets in some vehicles still provide power when the ignition is switched off, the cigarette lighter socket connection [1] should always be disconnected from the cigarette lighter socket when leaving your vehicle. Otherwise this could significantly drain your vehicle’s battery and therefore prevent the engine from starting up again.
• To prevent items in the cool box from freezing, do not use the cool box in 12 V cooling mode below an ambient temperature of 18°C.

230 V Mode
Remove the connection cable with the mains plug [8] from the cable box [4]. Unwind the connection cable completely. Plug the mains plug [8] into an easily accessible mains socket. Set the operating mode selector switch [6] to “COLD” to keep food cold or “HOT” to keep it warm. Turn the power adjustment knob [7] on the front of the coolbox clockwise to the ECO position to switch the coolbox on. Set the power you want using the power adjustment knob [7]. Turn the power adjustment knob [7] clockwise to increase the power and anticlockwise to reduce the power.
In cooling mode, turn the output controller [7] to the ‘MAX’ position to obtain maximum cooling. An interior temperature that is at most 20°C cooler than the ambient temperature can be achieved (based on an ambient temperature of 23°C).
In warming mode, turn the output controller [7] to the ‘MAX’ position to obtain maximum warming. An interior temperature no higher than about 65 °C can be achieved (based on an ambient temperature of 23°C).

To switch off the cool box, turn the output controller [7] anti-clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position until it snaps into place.

• Set the output controller [7] to the ‘ECO’ position. Now the cool box operates in energy-saving mode. An interior temperature that is at most 8-11°C cooler than the ambient temperature can be achieved in this mode.

Energy-Saving Tips

• Do not expose the cool box to direct sunlight in cooling mode.
• Only use pre-chilled food and drinks in cooling mode.
• Do not open the cool box for any longer than necessary and close the lid [2] properly.
• Make sure that enough air can circulate between the food. The cool box can also hold a maximum of 36 upright 0.33 L drinks cans (W 67 mm x H 115 mm).
