Safety instructions
2.1 General safety
ezCaution – Danger of electrocution!
When using the device on boats: If the device is powered by the
mains, ensure that the power supply is protected with a ground
fault interrupter circuit.
zCheck that the voltage specification on the type plate corres-
ponds to that of the energy supply.
zOnly connect the device as follows:
– With the cable supplied (Fig. 12, page 3) to the cigarette
lighter in the vehicle or to a 12/24 V plug socket in the vehicle
– or with the enclosed connection cable (Fig. 1 3, page 3) to
the 120 V AC mains (only
CF-35 , CF-40 , CF-50 , CF-60 ).
zIf the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or
service agent.
zDo not pull the plug out of the cigarette lighter or the socket by
the cable.
zPull out the connection cable:
– Before cleaning and maintenance
– After use
– Before changing a fuse
zDisconnect the cooling device and other power consuming de-
vices from the battery before you connect the battery to a quick
charging device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the

Function description
5 Function description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze
them. A maintenance-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 and can be carried by using
a folding carrying bracket (CF-18), two recessed grips (CF-25) or
two removable carrying handles (CF-35, CF-40, CF-50, CF-60).
When used on boats, the cooler can be withstand a constant heel
(inclination) of 30°.
