2.2 Operating the cooler safely
!CAUTION!
•Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the
plug are dry.
•Only use the appliance where there is good ventilation.
•Do not let the appliance operate unattended.
•Only operate the cooler from a single energy source.
ANOTICE!
•Do not use electrical devices inside the cooler unless they are
recommended by the manufacturer for that purpose.
•Do not place the cooler near naked flames or other heat sources
(heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).
•Danger of overheating!
Always ensure sufficient ventilation so that the heat generated during
operation can dissipate. Make sure that the cooler is sufficiently far
away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.
•Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered.
Keep the following spaces (fig. 1, page 3).
•Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.
•Never immerse the cooler in water.
•Protect the cooler and the cable against heat and moisture.
•To enable the refrigerant to circulate properly, the cooler may not
tilted by more than 3°. Use a spirit level to make sure the cooler is level.
2.3 Safety when operating with DC power
ANOTICE!
•Only select DC operation (battery mode) if you are using a battery
monitor or if the alternator in your vehicle provides sufficient voltage.
•Only use cables with an appropriate cross section.

•Never operate the cooler with gas
– in road vehicles, water vessels or enclosed spaces
– at petrol stations
– while driving
•Beware of suffocation!
Operating the device with gas in an unventilated area will reduce the
amount of oxygen in this area.
•Make sure that the area is sufficiently ventilated when the device is
being operated.
•Do not operate the device in unventilated areas such as enclosed
premises, tents, motor vehicles, motor homes, caravans, ships,
yachts, boots and truck cabs.
•Never place the device near flammable materials (paper, dry leaves,
textiles).
•Keep flammable objects away from the burner.
•The cooler may only be operated with the pressure stated on the type
plate. Use a DIN-DVGW-approved pressure regulator with a fixed
setting in accordance with DIN EN 16129.
•Never store liquid gas cylinders in unventilated areas or below
ground level (funnel shaped holes in the ground).
•Keep liquid gas cylinders away from direct sunlight. The temperature
may not exceed 50 °C.
•Never use a naked flame to check the cooler for leaks.

5.1 Connections
5.2 Control elements
When the cooler is connected to the AC mains,the required cooling level isset using
the cooling level controller (1).
➤To increase the cooling level, turn the cooling level controller (1) clockwise.
For the maximum cooling level, turn the cooling level controller (1) clockwise as
far as it will go (position “7”).
➤To decrease the cooling level, turn the cooling level controller (1) anticlockwise.
➤To switch the cooler off, turn the cooling level controller (1) anti-clockwise as far
as it will go (position “0”).
When the cooler is connected to the DC power socket the cooling level cannot be
adjusted.
When the cooler is operated with gas, the required cooling level is set using the
temperature controller (2).

CAUTION! Health hazard!
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
NOTICE! Beware of damage
•Ensure that the items placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling to
the selected temperature.
•Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively
refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze. and can therefore
destroy glass containers.
•Ensure that your refrigerated container is well ventilated so that any
heat created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be
ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents.
NOTE
•Before starting your new cooler for the first time, you should clean it
inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see also
chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 23).
•Cool the cooler for about 24 hours before starting your journey using
gas or electricity from the mains. This way your cooler will attain the
required cooling level faster when you reach your destination.
•The cooling performance can be affected by:
– the ambient temperature
– the amount of food to be conserved
– how often the lid is opened.
•A few water drops may form inside the cooler if it has been cooling
for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in the air
condenses to water when the temperature in the cooler falls. The
cooler is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if necessary.

I
Proceed as follows (fig. 4, page 5):
➤Place the cooler on a firm, level surface.
!
➤Connect the hose line (3) to the gas connection port (2) of the cooler.
To do this, use two open-end spanners (1) of 13 mm and 17 mm.
➤Make sure that the hose line
– is not crushed or kinked
– is a safe distance from the burner
➤Take the safety cap (4) off the safety coupling (5) of the gas port.
WARNING!
There must be a shut-off device in the gas line so that the cooler can be
cut off separately. The shut-off device must be easily accessible.
NOTICE!
•This cooler may only be connected to the gas supply by a specialist
in accordance with the applicable regulations and standards.
•Only use cylinders of propane or butane gas (not natural gas or city
gas) with an approved pressure reduction valve and suitable head.
Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the pres-
sure information on the pressure regulator on the propane or butane
gas cylinder.
•Observe the pressures which are permitted in your country. Use a
DIN-DVGW-approved pressure regulator with a fixed setting:
– The following applies for Germany: DIN EN 16129.
– The following applies for Europe: EN 732, EN 521 and
EN 437:2003+A1:2009.
•The cooler may only be operated with hose lines in a perfect techni-
cal condition. Replace any porous or damaged hose lines.
NOTE
•Use a gas pressure controller to match the gas pressure that is
specified on the type plate.
WARNING!
Only use approved hose lines (DIN 4815, part 2) with a maximum length
of 1.5 m.
