• Do not place the appliance near naked flames or other heat sources, nor dip it into water.
• Avoid covering the ventilation vents.
• Do not place loads in excess of 3kg on the top of the lid.
• This appliance may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Improper repairs can lead to considerable hazards (please read § "Guarantee").
• We suggest you store your food products in the original packaging or in suitable food trays.
• The appliance is not suitable to store corrosive materials or substances containing solvents
• Electrical appliances are not toys!

Keep and use the appliance out of reach of children.

Children must not be left unattended when using the appliance.

• The appliance shall only be connected as instructed below:

• use a 230Vac cable for connection to AC household mains outlet (where provided).

• use a 12Vdc cable for connection to your vehicle power socket.

• Never unplug the appliance from the power socket or the household mains socket by pulling the power cable.

• If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one of the same type and sharing the same specifications. Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands. This especially applies when operating the appliance on an AC mains.

Caution: Do not connect the two power supplies (where provided) at the same time to avoid damage the equipment / vehicles / accessories.

Caution: Danger of fatal injury!

• Always disconnect the power cable before cleaning and after use.
• Always compare the voltage data provided on the rating plate with that of the available sockets and outlets.
• Before operating the electrobox, always ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.
• Do not operate the device in excessively dusty places. Dust is likely to obstruct the air ducts and bring damages to the coolbox.

Caution: Danger of overheating!

• Check that any heat produced during operation is adequately given off. Ensure that the distance between the appliance and the walls or other objects allows a free circulation of air (30 cm at least).
• Do not pour any liquid or ice into the inner box.
• Never place the appliance in water.
• Protect the device and all wires from heat and humidity.
• To avoid overheating or malfunction, ensure the plug fits into the vehicle power socket to make proper electrical contact.
• Do not touch the metal end of the plug after use, as it may be very hot and cause burns.
• If the vehicle does not have the power socket, connect the cable to the 12VDC cigarette lighter socket.

Warning: This connection could lead to excessive overheating of the plug and the socket car cigarette lighter of the vehicle. Constantly check the correct operation of the device and that the temperature of the car plug and the cigarette lighter socket will not rise excessively.

When using the cigarette lighter socket, do not leave the appliance unattended.

• Colombo Smart Plastic declines all responsibilities for damages caused by improper use or misuse of the appliance.

This device can be used by children aged 8 years and over and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, only under proper supervision and if aware of the instructions regarding the safe use of the device and well-aware of the relevant risks.

Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.

3 CONNECTIONS

• Connection to 12Vdc power socket

• Pull out or connect the 12Vdc cable to the device lid (as a function of the model)

• Plug the car plug (fig.1) into the power socket

• Connection to AC 230Vac household power supply mains (in model provided with this option)

• Connect the 230Vac cable to the coolbox lid

• Plug the power cable (fig.2) into the alternating current socket

Caution!

Ensure you ALWAYS plug in the power cable from the correct side.

Caution!

For models where a dual power supplay mode is provided: NEVER connect the 12 Vdc and the 230 Vac cables at the same time.

4 USE

• Suitable for use in campsites.
• Article should not be exposed to rain.
  This article is designed for domestic applications and similar.
• For health-related reasons, always clean the appliance inside and outside with a wet cloth any time you use the coolbox.
  Always store previously cooled food and drinks in the coolbox.
• Let warm food cool down before storing them in the toolbox.
• Place the coolbox on a flat and stable base with the lid up side (except for the model Shiver 40 - 12 V).
  The coolbox must be opened as little as possible, and it must be reclosed in the shortest time so that a constant temperature can be held inside.
• The special insulation allows food and drinks to remain fresh for a long time even when the coolbox is off. To maximize and extend the cooling effect over time, we suggest you use the ice packs (see ACCESSORIES).

- Caution!

The device is suitable to keep cool food and drinks in their original containers.

Never use the product for more than 36 hours of continuous operation.

Prolonged and continuous use may reduce performance or even damage the cooling system.

Once the toolbox is off, wait at least 2 hours before turning it on again.

- Caution!

After a long period of operation, water may form and accumulate at the bottom of the coolbox. This is normal, as air humidity condenses during the cooling process. This means the coolbox is not broken. If necessary, remove excess humidity with a wet cloth.

- Caution!

The cooling is produced by a Peltier cooling system that does not contain CFC or coolants.

5 OPERATION

• Once connected to the power source, the coolbox soon starts operating. The electrobox is designed to cool down food and keep it fresh.
• Switch off the coolbox by simply disconnecting the power cable.

Note for models Shiver and Freddy Classe A.

For models with dual power supply, if connected to a domestic network 230V ac, selection of two types of operation possible:

-ECO-FUNCTION: The device complies with the directive on energy saving (Regulation CE n. 643/2009) ensuring an internal temperature between 8^ and 14^ with an external temperature between 16^ and 32^ .

• FUNCTION PLUS: the device does NOT comply with the directive on energy saving (Regulation CE n. 643/2009), but operates continuously at the peak of its power and therefore the system may fall below 8^ (always a function of the external temperature).

- Caution!

We recommend the use of the Function Battery Saver (see 5 - B) or the Battery Monitor (see table of accessories) to protect the batteries of cars that keep on feeding the coolbox with power even after the engine has been turned off.

5-B BATTERYSAVER (only for model Shiver 40 -12 V)

Remark!

The SHIVER 40 model is equipped with a Battery Saver system and a display unit that measures the internal temperature of the coolbox.

BATTERYSAVER

By actuating the Battery saver button, the following car battery protection modes can be selected:

Position -1) No car battery protection (WARNNG: this setting may cause the car battery to go completely flat)

Position-2) Maximum battery protection level (10,6 V)

Position -3) Medium battery protection level (10 V)

6 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Warning!

Before cleaning the electrobox, disconnect the power cable from the mains socket or the car power socket

- Caution!

Never clean the appliance under running water.

• Do not use corrosive detergents or rough objects for cleaning purposes, that may damage the product (blades, spatulas, etc.).
• Clean the coolbox inside and outside from time to time with a wet cloth.
• Protect the cooling lid from penetrating liquids, sand or dust.
