3 Scope of delivery
4 Intended use
The cooler is suitable for cooling and freezing foodstuffs. The device is also
suitable for camping.
The cooler has been designed for operation with a 12 gvoltage source (e. g.
the cigarette lighter of a vehicle) or alternatively for operation with a mains
voltage of 220 – 240 Vw.
The cooler can be operated independently of a voltage supply with liquid gas
(propane or butane).
!
5 Technical description
The cooler is suitable for use when camping, on a patio, in the garden,
or anywhere where a 12 Vgpower connection (such as the cigarette lighter
in a vehicle) or a 220 V – 240 Vwmains voltage is available. You can also
operate the cooler with liquid gas.
You can cool goods to up to 20 °C below ambient temperature.

CAUTION! Health hazard!
Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for
storing the food or medicine you wish to cool.

EN
A40 Operating the cooler
11
The device cools with a maintenance-free absorber circuit. Concentrated
ammoniac solution is heated in a boiler and then driven out in gaseous form.
The gas which is subjected to high pressure, is liquefied in a condenser and
then evaporated by adding hydrogen. This removes warmth in the cooling area.
6 Operating the cooler
!
I
6.1 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 device to keep
cool.
Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
Do not leave the cooler unit open for longer than necessary.
Arrange the food in the cooler so that air can circulate inside.
6.2 Using the cooler
A
CAUTION! Health hazard!
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
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 16).
NOTICE!
Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler are suitable for
cooling to the selected temperature.
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not exces-
sively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can
thus destroy the glass containers.

➤Place the cooler on a firm and level base.
Check the horizontal position (±2°) with a spirit level if necessary.
➤Open the lid of the control panel (fig. 21, page 3) by pressing down on it.
Press down on the lid again to close it.
I
Connecting to 220 V – 240 Vw
!
➤Plug the earthed plug into a properly installed safety plug socket.
➤Set the thermostat control (fig. 22, page 3) to “HIGH”.
➤Wait until the temperature in the cooler has dropped.
➤Set the thermostat control (fig. 22, page 3) to the desired temperature
range.
➤To switch off the cooler, set the thermostat control (fig. 22, page 3) to
“0” and pull out the plug.
NOTE
Cool the cooler for about 24 hours before starting your journey
using gas or electricity from the mains. This way your cooler
will attain the required cooling capacity faster when you reach
your destination.
The cooling capacity can be influenced by:
– The ambient temperature
– The amount of food to be conserved
– The frequency with which the lid is opened.
NOTE
The further you turn the corresponding control towards “HIGH”,
the lower the refrigerating temperature.
WARNING!
Check that the voltage specification on the type plate corresponds
to that of the energy supply.

➤Make sure that the cable from the battery to the cooler is protected by
a fuse (max. 8 A).
➤Select a cable cross section for the cable between the battery and the
socket of the 12 V voltage supply in accordance with the following table:
➤Make sure that the thermostat control for 220 V – 240 V operation
(fig. 22, page 3) is in the “0” position.
➤Insert the plug of the connection cable into the 12 V socket
(e.g. cigarette lighter).
The polarity cannot be reversed.
➤To switch off the cooler, pull the plug out of the socket.
Connecting to a gas source
!
NOTE
You cannot set the temperature with the thermostat control
during battery operation. The device is simply switched on
and starts cooling.
Disconnect the cooler from the battery when the engine is not
running as otherwise the battery will be completely run down.
Cable length Cable cross section
Up to 2.5 m 2.5 mm²
2.5 m to 4.0 m 4.0 mm²
WARNING!
The operation of gas appliances whilst the vehicle is in motion
must be in accordance with national guidelines.
Only use propane or butane gas cylinders with an approved
pressure reduction valve and suitable top part.
Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the
pressure information on the propane or butane gas cylinder.
Never place the device near flammable materials (paper, dry
leaves, textiles).
Your connecting hose must be replaced in accordance with
national guidelines.
Only use approved hose lines (DIN 4815 part 2) with a maxi-
mum length of 1.5 m (in Finland 1.2 m).

➤Position the gas cylinder vertically at a distance of at least 1 metre away
from the burner (on the back of the cooler).
➤Check if the valve on the gas cylinder is closed.
➤Connect the hose line to the head of the valve on the gas cylinder and the
cooler (fig. 31, page 4).
Use an open-ended spanner with the appropriate width for this.
➤Make sure that the hose line
– Is not crushed or kinked
– Is a safe distance from the burner.
➤Open the valve on the gas cylinder.
!
➤Check all connections with a leakage test spray.
There are no leaks if no bubbles form.
➤Ensure that
– The thermostat control for 220 V – 240 V operation (fig. 22, page 3)
is in the “0” position
– The battery plug is not connected.
➤Press in the rotary switch (fig. 22, page 3), turn it past the “ ” symbol
and hold it in for approx. 15 – 20 s to force out any air in the hose connec-
tion.
➤Turn the rotary switch towards “ ”, even if the flame is already burning.
✓You will hear a clicking noise: the Piezo ignition is trying to light the flame.
When the flame is burning, the cooler is ready for use.
➤If the flame does not ignite, repeat the procedure.
I
NOTE
The device is fitted with a pilot light. The gas supply is interrupted
when the flame goes out.
WARNING!
Never check for leaks with an open flame or near sources of igni-
tion.
NOTE
If it is not possible to light the gas with the Piezo lighter due to high
air humidity, you can light the gas burner with a match at the opening
in the back panel of the device when the rotary switch is pressed in.

➤Check that all hose lines and all connections are in a technically perfect
condition at regular intervals.
➤To switch off the cooler, first close the valve on the gas cylinder and then
turn the rotary switch (fig. 22, page 3) completely shut in a clockwise
direction.
Replacing the gas cylinder
!
➤Switch off the cooler by completely shutting the rotary switch (fig. 22,
page 3) by turning it clockwise.
➤Completely close the valve on the gas cylinder.
➤Unscrew the valve from the gas cylinder.
➤Check the condition of the hose line.
Replace the hose line if the material is brittle or porous.
➤Screw the pressure reduction valve tightly onto the new gas cylinder.
Defrosting the cooler
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooler. 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 cooler.
➤Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary.
➤Switch the cooler off.
➤Leave the cover open.
➤When everything has defrosted, empty the cooler and wipe it out.
WARNING!
Only change the gas cylinder in well ventilated areas.
Pay attention that when changing the gas container which
shall be carried out away from any source of ignition.
Only change the gas cylinder when the cooler is switched off.
NOTICE!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
