•Cooling device
•Connection cable for 12/24 Vgconnection
•Carry strap
5 Technical description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze them. A
maintenance-free refrigerant circuit with compressor provides the cooling.
The cooler is suitable for mobile use.
When used in vehicles the cooler can be secured with the seat belt.
An integrated battery monitor can be set to protect your vehicle battery from
discharging to dangerously low levels (see chapter “Using the battery monitor” on
page 14).
If an error occurs within the interior electronics, the cooling can be kept by using an
emergency switch.
NOTE
To operate the device using a 220 – 240 Vwmains supply, we
recommend using a rectifier (accessory).
CAUTION! Health hazard!
Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for storing

6Operation
The device is equipped with an interior LED light which remains on whenever power
is connected. The power consumption of this LED light is extremely low and
insignificant compared to the overall power consumption of the device.
6.1 Before initial use
I
6.2 Energy saving tips
•Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct
sunlight.
•Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.
•Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
•Do not leave the lid open for longer than necessary.
•Defrost the cooler once a layer of ice forms.
•Avoid unnecessary low temperatures.
6.3 Locking the cooler
➤Close the lid.
➤Press the lock (fig. 17, page 3) down until it snaps in audibly.
6.4 Connecting to a cigarette lighter
I
NOTE
Before starting your new cooling device for the first time, you should
clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons
(please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on
page 17).
NOTE
If you connect the device to the cigarette lighter of your vehicle,
remember that the ignition must be turned on to supply the device with
power.

6.5 Securing the cooler in the vehicle
➤Open the lid of the cooler.
➤Place the seat belt into the fixing position (fig. 13, page 3) of the cooler.
➤Close the lid.
➤Fasten the seat belt and tighten it.
6.6 Switching-on the cooler
A
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 Vg.
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent
polarity reversal. This protects the cooler againstshort-circuiting when connecting to
a battery.
➤Place the cooler on a firm foundation.
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered and that the heated air can
dissipate.
➤Connect the 12/24 V connection cable to the cigarette lighter or an 12/24 V
socket in your vehicle.
I
➤Press the “ON/OFF” button (fig. 21, page 3) for three seconds.
✓The “POWER” LED (fig. 22, page 3) lights up green.
When the cooler reaches the preset temperature, the LED lights up orange.
NOTICE! Danger of damaging the device!
•Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the
heat that generated during operation can dissipate. Ensure that
the ventilation slots are not covered. Make sure that the device
is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can
circulate.
•Ensure that the only those objects are placed in the cooler that are
intended to be cooled at the selected temperature.
•Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the battery
before you connect the battery to a quick charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
NOTE
During normal operation the emergency switch (fig. 112, page 3) has
to be set to the “Normal” position.

✓The display (fig. 25, page 3) switches on and shows the current cooling
temperature.
✓The cooler starts cooling the interior.
6.7 Setting the temperature
➤Press the “SET” button (fig. 24, page 3) once.
➤Use the “+” (fig. 26, page 3) and “–” (fig. 27, page 3) buttons to select the
cooling temperature.
✓The cooling temperature appears in the display for a few seconds. The display
flashes several times and then the current temperature is displayed again.
6.8 Selecting the temperature units
You can switch the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit. This is how
to do it:
➤Switch on the cooler.
➤Press the “SET” button (fig. 24, page 3) twice.
➤Use the “+” (fig. 26, page 3) and “–” (fig. 27, page 3) buttons to select
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
✓The selected temperature units then appear in the display for a few seconds. The
display flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.
6.9 Using the battery monitor
A
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
12/24 V supply.
If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooler 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.
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.

6.10 Using the emergency switch
The device is equipped with an emergency switch. Thus you can keep cooling if an
error occurs within the interior electronics.
I
➤If the interior electronics fail: Slide the emergency switch to the “Emergency”
position.
6.11 Switching off the cooler
➤Empty the cooler.
➤Switch the cooler off: Press the “ON/OFF” button (fig. 21, page 3) for three
seconds.
➤Pull out the connection cable.
If you do not want to use the cooler for a longer period of time:
➤Leave the cover slightly open. This prevents odour build-up.
6.12 Defrosting the cooler
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the vaporiser. This
reduces the cooling capacity.
Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A
To defrost the cooler, proceed as follows:
➤Take out the contents of the cooling device.
➤If necessary, place them in another cooling device to keep them cool.
➤Switch off the device.
➤Leave the cover open.
➤Wipe off the defrosted water.
NOTE
During normal operation the emergency switch (fig. 112, page 3) has
to be set to the “Normal” position.
NOTICE! Danger of damaging the device!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.

lighter):
The ignition is on and the
device is not working and
the “POWER” LED is not lit.
Pull the plug out of the
socket and make the
following checks.
The cigarette lighter
socket is dirty. This
results in a poor
electrical contact.
If the plug of your cooler becomes
very warm in the cigarette lighter
socket, either the lighter socket must
be cleaned or the plug has not been
assembled correctly.
The fuse of the
12/24 V plug has
blown.
Replace the fuse (5 A) in the cigarette
lighter plug, see chapter “Replacing
the plug fuse (12/24 V)” on page 17.
