7.2 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 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 unnecessarily low temperatures.
7.3 Connecting the cooler
Connecting to a battery (Vehicle or boat)
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 Vg.
A
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent
polarityreversal. This protectsthe cooleragainstshort-circuiting when connectingto
a battery.
Using the fused DC plug
A
➤Plug the DC connection cable (fig. 12, page 7) into the DC voltage socket of
the cooler (fig. 43, page 11).
➤Connect the connection cable to a DC power outlet.
NOTICE!
DAMAGE HAZARD!
Failure to obey this instruction may result in damage to 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.
NOTICE!
DAMAGE HAZARD!
Failure to obey this instruction may result in damage to the device.
For protection ofthe device the DC cable supplied includesa fuse inside

Operation CFF35, CFF45
16
Connecting to an AC power supply (e.g. in the home or office)
D
The coolers have an integrated multi-voltage power supply with priority circuit for
connecting to an AC voltage source. The priority circuit automatically switches the
cooler to AC operation if the device is connected to an AC power supply, even if the
DC connection cable is still attached.
When switching between the AC power supply and the battery supply, the red LED
may light up briefly.
➤Plug the AC connection cable (fig. 13, page 7) into the AC voltage socket of
the cooler (fig. 41,page 11).
➤Connect the connection cable to an AC power outlet.
7.4 Using the battery monitor
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, 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
DANGER!
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.
• 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 from a AC power
supply,you mustinstall a residualcurrent circuitbreaker betweenthe
AC power supply and the cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
NOTICE!
DAMAGE HAZARD!
Failure to obey this instruction may result in damage to the battery.
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.

7.5 Using the cooler
A
➤Place the cooler on a firm foundation.
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered and that the heated air can
dissipate. We recommend keeping a gap of at least 2" around ventilation holes.

Restart voltage at 24 V 23.0 V 25.3 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.
NOTICE!
OVERHEATING HAZARD!
Failure to obey this instruction may result in damage to 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.
