5 Technical description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze them. A low
maintenance refrigerant circuit with compressor provides the cooling.
The cooler is portable.
For use in vehicles, the cooling device can be secured with a safety belt.
The cooler can withstand a short term inclination of 30°, for example on boats.
An integrated battery monitor can be switched on to protect your vehicle battery
from discharging to dangerously low levels (see chapter “Using the battery monitor”
on page 13).

6Operation
The cooling device is equipped with an LED interior light that remains on when the
voltage is applied. The energy consumption of the LED interior light is extremely low
and is negligible compared to the total energy consumption of the device.
6.1 Before initial use
I
6.2 Energy saving tips
•Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from 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 cooling device as soon as a layer of ice forms.
•Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.
6.3 Latching the lid
➤Close the lid.
➤Press the latch (fig. 31,page 9) down, until it latches in place audibly.

➤Plug the DC connection cable (fig. 42, page 10) into the DC power supply inlet
of the cooler (fig. 23, page 8).
➤Connect the DC connection cable to a DC power outlet.
Connecting to an AC power supply (e.g. at home or in the office)
D
The cooling device has a built-in multi-voltage mains adapter with a priority circuit for
connecting to an AC voltage source. The priority circuit automatically switches to
mains operation if the appliance is connected to an AC power suply, even if the DC
connection cable is still connected.
➤Plug the AC connection cable (fig. 43, page 10) into the AC power supply inlet
of the cooler (fig. 21, page 8).
➤Connect the AC connection cable to the AC power outlet.
6.5 Secure the cooling device in the vehicle
➤Open the lid of the cooling device.
➤Place the safety strap into the guide (fig. 41, page 10) of the cooling device.
➤Close the lid.
➤Engage the safety strap and tighten it.
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
•Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
•If you are operating your cooler on board a boat with an AC power
supply, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the
power supply and the cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
