5 Intended use
The compressor cooler is suitable for cooling and freezing foodstuffs. The compres-
sor cooler is also suitable for use on boats.
The compressor cooler is designed to be operated from a 12 Vgor 24 Vgon-
board socket of a vehicle (e.g. DC socket), boat or mobile home.
I
!
6 Function description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze them. A mainte-
nance-free, CFC-free refrigerant circuit with compressor provides the cooling. The
extra strong CFC-free insulation and powerful compressor ensure especially fast
cooling.
The cooler is designed for mobile use.
When used on boats, the cooler can be withstand a constant heel (inclination) of 30°.
An integrated dual-stage (CDF18) / three-stage (CDF26, CDF36, CDF46) battery
monitor prevents your vehicle battery from excessive discharging.
NOTE
To operate the device at the AC mains supply, we recommend using
one of the following rectifiers:
•220–240 V: CoolPower EPS100
•110–240 V: CoolPower MPS35
CAUTION! Health hazard!
Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for storing
the food or medicine you wish to cool.

7.1 Before initial use
I
7.2 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 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.
•Defrost the cooler once a layer of ice forms.
•Avoid unnecessary low temperatures.
7.3 Connecting the cooler
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 V DC.
A
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent the
polarityreversal.Thisprotects thecooleragainstshort-circuitingwhenconnecting to
a battery.
➤Plug the 12/24-V connection cable (fig. 12, page 2) into the DC voltage
socket and also into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V or 24 V socket.
NOTE
Before starting your new cooler 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 18).
NOTICE! Danger of damaging the device!
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.

7.4 Using the battery monitor
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.
A
In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and
“MED” (see the following table).
CDF18
CDF26, CDF36, CDF46

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.

7.8 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.
7.9 Replacing the plug fuse (12/24 V)
➤Pull the adapter sleeve (fig. 74, page 3) off of the plug.
➤Unscrew the screw (fig. 75, page 3) out of the upper half of the housing
(fig. 71, page 3).
➤Carefully raise the upper half of the housing from the lower (fig. 76, page 3)
half.
➤Take out the contact pin (fig. 73, page 3).
➤Replace the defective fuse (fig. 72, page 3) with a new one that has the same
rating (8A 32V).
➤Re-assemble the plug in the reverse order.
7.10 Replacing the light bulb (CDF26, CDF36, CDF46)
➤Press the switch pin (fig. 82, page 3) downwards so that the transparent part
(fig. 81, page 3) of the lamp can be removed at the front.
➤Replace the light bulb.
➤Press the lamp back into the housing.
NOTICE! Danger of damaging the device!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.

possible.
MIf you wish to finally dispose of the product, ask your local recycling centre
or specialist dealer for details about how to do this in accordance with the
applicable disposal regulations.
Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy
Device does not
function, LED does not
glow.
No voltage is flowing
from the DC power
socket in your vehicle.
The ignition must be switched on in
most vehicles to supply current to the
DC power socket.
No voltage present in
the AC voltage socket.
Try using another plug socket.
The device does not
cool (plug is inserted,
POWER LED is lit).
Defective compressor. This can only be repaired by an
authorised repair centre.
The device does not
cool (plug is inserted,
ERROR LED flashes).
Battery voltage is too
low.
Test the battery and charge it as needed.
When operating from
the DC power socket:
The ignition is on and
the device is not work-
ing and the LED is not
lit.
Pull the plug out of the
socket and make the
following checks.
The DC socket is dirty.
This results in a poor
electrical contact.
If the plug of your cooler becomes very
warm in the DC socket, either the 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 12 V plug,
see chapter “Replacing the plug fuse
(12/24 V)” on page 17.
The vehicle fuse has
blown.
Replace the vehicle's 12/24 V socket
