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 2) twice.
➤Use the “UP +” (fig. 26, page 2) and “DOWN -” (fig. 27,
page 2) 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.

Operation

Turning the lid around
You can turn the lid around if you want to open the lid from the
other side.
To do this, proceed as follows:
➤Undo the screws on the lock lugs (fig. 51, page 2) and
➤Undo the screws on the hinges (fig. 52, page 2) and
➤Lay the lid down.
➤Fit the hinges on the side you want.
➤Fit the lock lugs on the side you want.
6.2 Energy saving tips
zChoose a well ventilated installation location which is protected
from direct sunlight.
zAllow hot food to cool down first before you place it into the
device.
zDo not open the cooler more often than necessary.
zDo not leave the lid open for longer than necessary.
zDefrost the cooler once a layer of ice forms.
zAvoid unnecessary low temperatures.
6.3 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 the polarity reversal. This protects the cooler against
short-circuiting when connecting to a battery.
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.

socket of the cooler (fig. 33, page1).
11
Connecting to a 100–240 V AC mains (E.g. in the home or office)
D
The cooler has a built-in multi-voltage mains adapter with a priority
circuit for connecting to a 100-240 V~supply. The priority circuit
automatically switched to mains operation if the appliance is con-
nected to a 100–240 V~supply, even if the 12/24 V cable is still
connected.
When switching between the AC mains and the battery supply,
the red LED may light up briefly.
➤Plug the 100–240 V connection cable (fig. 13, page 1) into
the AC voltage socket and connect it to the 100–240 V AC
mains.
DANGER! Danger of electrocution!
zNever handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
zIf you are operating your cooler on board a boat from a mains
connection of 100–240 V~, you must install a residual current
circuit breaker between the 100–240 V AC mains and the
cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
Operation

6.4 Using the battery monitor
The device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that pro-
tects 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 bat-
tery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
ANOTICE! 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.
INOTICE! During low voltage
When switched off by the battery monitor, the digital display (fig.
5,page 1)goes blank and the power LED (fig.
flashes orange.

In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the
levels “LOW” and “MED” (see the following table).
This is how to select the battery monitor mode:
➤Switch on the cooler.
➤Press the “SET” button (fig. 24, page 1) three times.
➤Use the “UP +” (fig. 26, page 1) and “DOWN -” (fig. 27,
page 1) buttons to select the battery monitor mode.

Operation

✓The selected mode then appears in the display for a few sec-
onds. The display flashes several times before it returns to the
current temperature.

6.5 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.
➤Close the cooler, see chapter “Connecting the cooler” on
page 31.
NOTE
When the cooler is supplied by the starter battery, select the bat-
tery monitor mode “HIGH”. If the cooler is connected to a supply
battery, the battery monitor mode “LOW” will suffice.
If you wish to operate the cooler from the AC mains, set the bat-
tery monitor to the “LOW” position.
NOTICE! Danger of overheating!
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.
✓Display will be as follows:
Lo(LOW), d(MED), Hi(HIGH)

INOTE
If you wish to operate the cooler from the AC mains, set the bat-
tery monitor to the “LOW” position.
Operation

A
➤Press the “ON/OFF” button (fig. 21, page 1) for between one
and two seconds.
✓The “POWER” LED lights up.
✓The display (fig. 25, page 1) switches on and shows the
current temperature.

6.6 Setting the temperature
➤Press the “SET” button (fig. 24, page 1) once.
➤Use the “UP +” (fig. 26, page 1) and “DOWN -” (fig. 27,
page 1) 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.
NOTICE! Danger from excessively low temperature!
Ensure that the only those objects are placed in the cooler that are
intended to be cooled at the selected temperature.
NOTE
The temperature displayed is that of the middle of the interior.
The temperatures elsewhere can deviate from this temperature.
NOTE
When operating with the battery, the display switches off auto-
matically if the battery voltage is low. The LED “POWER” flashes

Operation

➤Empty the cooler.
➤Switch the cooler off.
➤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.
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.
!
➤Pull off the connection cable.
➤Pry out the fuse insert (fig. 32, page 1) with a screwdriver.
➤Replace the defective fuse with a new one that has the same
rating (T2.5AL 250V).
➤Press the fuse insert back into the housing.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
