6.1 Using the cool box with the 12-V cooling unit
WARNING
Ensure that all objects or goods in the cool box can be
cooled or heated to the selected temperature.
Ensure that food or drink in glass containers does not
cool down too much. When frozen, drinks and liquid
foodstuffs will expand. This can destroy glass containers.
Ensure that the cooling unit is well ventilated so that ex-
tracted heat can be dissipated. Proper functionality can-
not be guaranteed otherwise. In particular, the ventilation
slots must not be covered.
Lift the cool box using only the handle and not using the
shoulder strap – risk of tipping!
Note
If the handle is pushed to the rear or the cool box is being car-
ried, the lid is locked. You can open the lid only when the han-
dle is pushed to the front.
– Place the cool box on a stable surface in the luggage com-
partment.
Note
To ensure safety in the vehicle interior, the cool box must be
transported in the vehicle's luggage compartment.
– Connect the cool box to the power supply in the vehicle us-
ing the 12-V connection cable.
Note
◆To do this, use the cigarette lighter or a12-V socket.
◆If you connect the cool box to the cigarette lighter of your ve-
hicle, note that it may be necessary to switch off the ignition
to supply the device with power.

disposal
7.1 Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Disconnect the device from the on-board power supply before cleaning and maintenance.
Caution
Never clean the cooling unit under running water or even in the sink.
Do not use caustic cleaning agents or hard objects to clean the cooling unit as these items could
damage the appliance – risk of accident/loss of functionality!
– Clean the device inside and outside occasionally with a damp cloth.
– Ensure that the ventilation openings in the device are free of dust and dirt so that the heat generated dur-
ing use can be dissipated and to prevent damage to the device.
7.2 Warranty
The statutory warranty period applies. If the product is faulty, please contact your specialist retailer.
To enable repairs and warranty claims to be processed, please enclose the following documents:
◆A copy of the invoice with the date of purchase
◆The reason for the complaint or a description of the fault
7.3 Troubleshooting
Fault Possible cause Proposed solution
Your cool box is not working (but
the connector is plugged in).
There is no power to the 12-V
socket (cigarette lighter) in the ve-
hicle.
In most vehicles, the ignition must
be switched on for the cigarette
lighter to receive power.
The battery has insufficient
charge.
Charge the battery or use a differ-
ent 12-V power source.
The internal fan or the cooling ele-
ment is faulty.
The repair can be performed only
by an authorised customer service
centre.
Operation via the 12-V socket
(cigarette lighter): The ignition is
switched on but the cool box does
not work. Pull the connector out of
the socket and check the items
described.
The 12-V socket is dirty, resulting
in poor electrical contact.
If the connector of your cool box
becomes very warm in the 12-V
socket, either the socket needs to
be cleaned or the plug may not
have been assembled correctly.
The fuse in the 12-V connector
has blown.
Replace the fuse (5-A) of the 12-V
connector.
The vehicle fuse has blown. Replace the fuse for the 12-V
socket in your vehicle (please re-
fer to the operating instructions for
your vehicle).
