5 Technical description
The cooler is portable. It can cool items and keep them cool or heat items and
keep them warm (with the additional heating feature) to max. 65 °C.
Its cooling system is a non-wearing Peltier cooling, the heat is discharged by
a fan.
When the cooler is connected to a 230 V AC mains supply, it can be used in
two different operating modes:
ECO mode: the cooler consumes less energy
MAX mode: the cooler reaches maximum cooling capacity
The desired cooling capacity is selected with the cooling capacity control:
➤To increase the cooling capacity, turn the cooling capacity control clock-
wise.
For the maximum cooling capacity turn the cooling capacity control
clockwise all the way to the stop (max position).
➤To decrease the cooling capacity, turn the cooling capacity control
counterclockwise.
To turn off the cooler, turn the cooling capacity control counterclockwise
all the way to the stop (off position).
When the cooler is connected to the DC socket, the cooling capacity cannot
be adjusted. In this case the cooler cools maximal.

ABS (activatable battery protection)
An integrated battery monitor can be switched on to protect your vehicle
battery from discharging to dangerously low levels.
Insulating lid
The lightweight insulating lid can be used as an alternative to the unit lid
when transporting. Make sure that the insulating lid does not cool.
Bottle hatch
A single drinks bottle can be removed via the bottle hatch.
Additional pockets
Pockets on the outside provide additional storage space. Note that

6 Operation
!CAUTION! Health hazard!
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
ANOTICE! Risk of damage
Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler are suitable for
cooling or heating (with the additional heating feature) to the
selected temperature.
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not
excessively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze
and can therefore destroy the glass containers.
Ensure that your cooler is well ventilated so that any heat
created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be
ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents.

INOTE
Before starting your new cooling device 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 11).
A few water drops may form inside the cooler if it has been cool-
ing for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in
the air condenses to water when the temperature in the cooler
falls. The cooler is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if
necessary.
INOTE For coolers with fold in handles
If the handle is folded back or if the cooler is being carried, the lid
is locked. You can only open the lid when the handle is folded
forwards.
6.1 Energy saving tips
Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against
direct sunlight.
If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling
capacity for the cooler unit, use the cooler’s ECO mode.
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.
Remove individual drinks bottles through the bottle hatch, if present.
