4Useasintended
The cooler can be used to cool and keep foodstuffs warm. The device can be also
used for camping purposes.
All materials processed in the refrigerator are safe for foodstuffs.
The cooling device is suitable for camping use.
The device shall not to be exposed to rain.
5 Technical description
The cooling device is suitable for mobile use. It 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.
The cooling device is a low-wear thermo-electric cooler with fan-assisted heat
removal.
TCX14,TCX21,TCX35
If the device has reached the set temperature range, it will automatically switch over
to the energy save mode. In this mode only the energy which is required to reach the
temperature inside the box is consumed.
The cooling device 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.

6.1 Tips to save 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 cooler 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.
6.2 Connecting to vehicle power
I
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent
polarityreversal. This protectsthe cooler againstshort-circuiting when connecting to
a battery.
NOTICE!
Take care that there are only objects or goods in the cooling device
which may be cooled or heated to the selected temperature.
NOTE
Before you put the new cooling device into operation, you should clean
it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see also
chapter “Cleaning and servicing” on page 18).
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.

6.3 Using the battery monitor (TCX14, TCX21, TCX35)
The device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your vehicle
battery against excessive discharging when the device is connected to the on-board
DC supply.
If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, thecooler switches
off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooler will
switch back on once the 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).
➤Slide the switch (fig. 13, page 3) to the appropriate setting in order to select
the battery monitor mode.
➤Slide the switch (fig. 13, page 3) to “OFF” in order to deactivate the battery
monitor mode.
I
6.4 Opening the cooler
➤TCX35 only: Unlock the cooling device (fig. 2, page 3).
➤Open the cooling device.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
When switched off by the battery monitor, the battery will no longer be
fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers
without longer charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged.
Battery monitor mode LOW HIGH
Switch-off voltage at 12 V 10.1 V 11.7 V
Restart-voltage at 12 V 11.5 V 13.1 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 cooler is supplied by the starter battery, select the battery
monitor mode “HIGH”. If the cooler is connected to a supply battery,
the battery monitor mode “LOW” will suffice.

9 Troubleshooting
Fault Possible cause Suggestion
The cooling device
does not function and
the fan impeller which
is visible from outside
does not rotate.
There is no voltage
present in the DC
power socket in your
vehicle.
The ignition must be switched on in most
vehicles to apply current to the DC power
socket.
The ignition is switched
on and the cooling
device does not work.
The DC power socket
is dirty. This results in a
poor electrical
contact.
Clean the socket of the DC power socket
with a non-metallic brush and a solvent,
so that the middle contact pin is clean.
If the plug of your cooling device
becomes very warm in the DC power
socket, either the DC power socket must
be cleaned or the plug has not been
assembled correctly.
The fuse of the
connecting cable is
burnt through.
Replace the fuse (fig. 71, page 5) of the
DC plug with one of the same rating.
The vehicle fuse is
burnt through.
Replace the vehicle fuse of the DC power
socket (usually 15 A). (Observe the
operating instructions in your motorcar
for this).
Your cooling device
does not cool satisfac-
torily and the fan impel-
ler at the outside does
not rotate.
The ventilator motor is
defective.
The repair can be executed only by an
authorized customer service.
Your cooling device
does not cool
satisfactorily and the fan
impeller at the outside
rotates.
The ventilator motor
for the inner ventilator
is defective.
The thermo-electric
element is defective.
The integrated power
unit is defective.
