4 Intended use
The cooler is suitable for cooling and freezing foods. The device is
also suitable for use on boats.
The device is designed to be operated from a 12 Vgor 24 Vgon-
board supply socket of a vehicle (e. g. cigarette lighter), boat or
caravan.
INOTE
To operate the device at the AC mains supply, we recommend us-
ing one of the following WAECO rectifiers:
220–240 V: CoolPower EPS100 or EPS817
110–240 V: CoolPower MPS35
!CAUTION! Health hazard!
Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for
storing the food or medicine you wish to cool.
5 Function description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze
them. A maintenance-free, CFC-free refrigerant circuit with com-
pressor provides the cooling. The extra strong CFC-free insulation
and powerful compressor ensure especially fast cooling.
The cooler is designed for mobile use.
When used on boats, the cooler can be withstand a constant heel
(inclination) of 30°.
An integrated dual-level battery monitor prevents your vehicle bat-
tery from being discharging too low.

6 Operation
6.1 Before initial use
INOTE
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 “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 27).
6.2 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.
Defrost the cooler once a layer of ice forms.
Avoid unnecessary low temperatures.
6.3 Connecting the cooler
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 V DC.
ANOTICE! 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.
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.
➤Plug the 12/24-V connection cable (fig. 12, page 2) into the
DC voltage socket and also into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V
or 24 V socket.

EN
Operation CoolFreeze
24
6.4 Using the battery monitor
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.
In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the
levels “LOW” and “MED” (see the following table).
INOTE
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.
If you wish to operate the cooler from the AC mains, set the battery
monitor to the “LOW” position.
Battery monitor mode LOW HIGH
Switch-off voltage at 12 V 10.2V±0.3V 11.2V±0.3V
Restart voltage at 12 V 11.2 V ± 0.3 V 12.2 V ± 0.3 V
Switch-off voltage at 24 V 22.0 V ± 0.3 V 23.9 V ± 0.3 V

CoolFreeze Operation
25
6.5 Using the cooler
ANOTICE! 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.
➤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 “Connecting the cooler” on page 23.
ANOTICE! 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.
Locking the cooler
➤Close the lid.
➤Press the lock (fig. 51, page 3) down, until it latches in
place audibly.
Switching on the cooler
➤Slide the sliding switch “BATTERY MONITOR” to HIGH if you
wish to operate from a starter battery or to “LOW” if you want to
operate from a supply battery.
INOTE
If you wish to operate the cooler from the AC mains, set the battery
monitor to the “LOW” position.
✓The “POWER” LED is lit green.
✓The cooler starts cooling the interior.
➤Set the cooling temperature with the temperature controller
“TEMPERATURE”.
✓CDF18 only: When the cooling temperature has been reached,
the “POWER” LED is lit yellow.

Operation CoolFreeze
26
Switching off the cooler
➤Empty the cooler.
➤To Switch the cooler off: Slide the sliding switch “BATTERY
MONITOR” to “0”:
➤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.
6.6 Defrosting the cooler
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.
ANOTICE! Danger of damaging the device!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
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.
6.7 Replacing the plug fuse (12/24 V)
➤Pull the adapter sleeve (fig. 64, page 3) off of the plug.
➤Unscrew the screw (fig. 65, page 3) out of the upper half of
the housing (fig. 61, page 3).
➤Carefully raise the upper half of the housing from the lower
(fig. 66, page 3) half.
➤Take out the contact pin (fig. 63, page 3).
➤Replace the defective fuse (fig. 62, page 3) with a new one
that has the same rating (8A 32V).
➤Re-assemble the plug in the reverse order.

6.8 Replacing the light bulb (CDF25 only)
➤Press the switch pin (fig. 72, page 3) downwards so that the
transparent part (fig. 71, page 3) of the lamp can be removed
at the front.
➤Replace the light bulb.
➤Press the lamp back into the housing.
7 Cleaning and maintenance
!WARNING!
Always disconnect the device from the mains before you clean and
service it.
ANOTICE! Risk of damage
Never clean the cooler under running water or in dish water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during
cleaning as these can damage the cooler.
➤Occasionally clean the device interior and exterior with a damp
cloth.

Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy
Device does not
function, LED does
not glow.
There is no voltage
present in the 12/24 V
socket (cigarette lighter)
in your vehicle.
The ignition must be switched on in most
vehicles to apply current to the cigarette
lighter.

low.
Test the battery and charge it as needed.
When operating from
the 12/24-V socket
(cigarette lighter):
The ignition is on
and the device is not
working and the LED
is not lit.
Pull the plug out of the
socket and make the
following checks.
The cigarette lighter
socket is dirty. This
results in a poor electrical
contact.
If the plug of your cooler becomes very
warm in the cigarette lighter socket,
either the lighter socket must be cleaned
or the plug has not been assembled
correctly.
The fuse of the 12/24 V
plug has blown.
Replace the fuse (5 A) in the cigarette
lighter plug, see “Replacing the plug fuse
(12/24 V)” on page 26.
The vehicle fuse has
blown.
Replace the vehicle’s 12/24 V socket fuse
(usually 15 A). Please refer to your
vehicle’s operating manual.
