5 Technical description
The cooling box is a low-wear thermoelectric cooler with fan-assisted heat removal.
The cooling box can cool goods up to max. 27 °C (TCX07: 25 °C) under ambient
temperature (thermostatic switch-off at approx. 2 °C) or keep them warm up to max.
65 °C.
TCX14, TCX21, TCX35
If the cooling box has reached the set temperature range, it will automatically switch
over to the energy saving mode. In this mode only the energy which is required to
reach the temperature inside the box is consumed.
The cooling box is equipped with an automatic priority circuit. Thus it is ensured that
with simultaneous connection to the AC mains supply and to a 12/24 V battery, the
AC mains supply will be used.

6Operation
A
To avoid food waste, note the following:
• Keep temperature fluctuation as low as possible. Only open the cooling box as
often and for as long as necessary. Store the foodstuff in such a way that the air
can still circulate well.
• Adjust the temperature to the quantity and type of the foodstuff.
• Foodstuff can easily absorb or release odor or taste. Always store foodstuff
covered or in closed containers/bottles.
6.1 Before first use
➤Clean the cooling box inside and outside for hygienic reasons (see chapter
“Cleaning and maintenance” on page 20).
6.2 Saving energy
• Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
• If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling capacity for
the cooling device, use the device’s ECO mode (TCX14, TCX21, TCX35).
• Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to
keep cool.
• Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary.
• On a regular basis, make sure the lid seal still fits properly.
6.3 Connecting to vehicle power
I
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Only store objects or goods in the cooling box which may be cooled or
heated to the selected temperature.
NOTE
If you connect the cooling device to the vehicle power, remember that
you may have to turn on the ignition to supply it with power.
DometicTCX07-TCX35_OPM_4445103171_EMEA16_2020-xx-xx.book Seite 15 Dienstag, 24. August 2021 9:30 21

Operation TCX07,TCX14,TCX21,TCX35
16
For safety reasons the cooling box is equipped with an electronic system to prevent
polarity reversal. This protects the cooling box against short-circuiting when con-
necting to a battery.
6.4 Opening the cooling box
➤TCX35 only: Unlock the cooling box (fig. 2, page 3).
➤Open the cooling box.
6.5 Connecting the cooling box to 230 Vw
TCX07
1. Connect the AC cable to the power adapter.
2. Plug the other end of the AC cable into the socket (AC main side).
3. Connect one end of the DC cable to the power adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the DC cable to the DC socket at the cooling box.
TCX14, TCX21, TCX35
➤Connect the cooling box using the AC connection cable supplied (fig. 11,
page 4) to an AC mains power socket.
6.6 Connecting the cooling box to 12 Vg
I
TCX07
1. Plug one end of the 12 V connection cable into the socket of the cooling box.
2. Connect the other end of the 12 V connection cable to the DC socket in your
vehicle (fig. 5, page 4).
TCX14, TCX21, TCX35
➤Connect the cooling box using the DC connection cable supplied (fig. 12,
page 3) to the DC socket in the vehicle (fig. 5, page 4).
NOTE
The plug’s polarity cannot be reversed: it can only be inserted into the
socket in one direction.

6.7 Using the battery monitor (TCX14, TCX21, TCX35)
The cooling device is equipped with a two-level battery monitor that protects your
vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the cooling device is connected
to the DC power supply (fig. 13, page 3).
If the cooling box is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooling
box switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level.
The cooling box will switch back on once the vehicle battery has been recharged to
the restart voltage level.
A
In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the level “LOW” (see
the following table).
Proceed as follows to select the battery monitor mode:
1. Switch on the cooling box (see chapter “Switching on the cooling box” on
page 18).
2. To select the battery monitor mode, push the switch into the “HIGH” position or
the “LOW” position.
3. To switch off the battery monitor mode, push the switch into the “OFF” position.
I
NOTICE! Damage hazard
When switched off by the battery monitor, the vehicle battery will no
longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current
consumers without longer charging phases. Ensure that the vehicle bat-
tery is recharged.
Battery monitor mode LOW HIGH
Switch-off voltage at 12 V 10.1 V 11.8 V
Restart voltage at 12 V 11.1 V 12.6 V
Switch-off voltage at 24 V 21.5 V 24.6 V
Restart voltage at 24 V 23.0 V 26.2 V
NOTE
When the cooling device is supplied by the vehicle battery, select the
battery monitor mode “HIGH”. If the cooling device is connected to a
supply battery, the battery monitor mode “LOW” will suffice.

Temperature at interior center at approx. 25 °C ambient temperature:
➤To select the temperature, press the button (fig. 46, page 4) repeatedly until
the desired number of LEDs lights up.
NOTE
The control unit of the cooling box has a memory function. It memorizes
the selected temperature range for each mode (cooling and heating).
Thus the temperature range which was previously selected in the
respective mode is set again with each switching on or switching over.
