■ Never pull the plug by the connection cable out of the 12 V or 230 V socket. If you do, there is risk of damage to the connection cable.

Do not operate the appliance with both power sources connected at the same time. If you do, there is a risk of damage to the product.

If the mains power cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer or its service department or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazards.

Safety while operating the appliance

CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before putting the appliance into operation, en sure that the connection cable and plug are dry

CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE! Never place the appliance in direct proximity to naked flames or other sources of heat.

CAUTION! RISK OF OVERHEATING! Ensure that the ventilation slits on the top of the lid of the appliance are not covered and that the heat, which arises during operation, can be dissipated adequately. Ensure that the appliance is situated at an adequate distance from walls or objects, so that the air can circulate freely.

- Protect the appliance and the connection cable from heat, rain and moisture, as well as from other sources of damage. Damaged appliances represent a danger of death from electric shock!

- Do not fill any liquids or place any ice directly into the inside of the appliance. If you do, this could result in damage to the product.

■ Never immerse the appliance in water. If you do, this could result in damage to the electrics.

- When travelling by car, do not transport the appliance in the passenger compartment.

- When operating with 12 V, always ensure that the 12 V plug is located firmly and safely in the connection socket of the cigarette lighter and that the connection socket is free of dirt. If the contact between plug and socket is inadequate, vibration from the car can cause the power supply to switch on and off in short bursts. This can result in overheating.

The manufacturer has no liability for damages which are caused by improper use or incorrect operation.

- General information on use

The coolbox is not suitable for continuous operation. Ice can form on the aluminium cooling plate. We recommend that the coolbox is switched off after it has been in operation for 6 days. The coolbox can be put back into operation after 2 hours.
Dry the surfaces of your coolbox contents so that a build-up of condensation is avoided.
If the coolbox is not being used, keep the connection cables in the storage compartment provided in the lid of the coolbox.
- When operating with a 12 V power source, be careful not to switch the car engine on and off frequently, so that the power supply to the cool-box is not interrupted constantly. Also be aware that the car battery can be run down too far, if the engine is switched off.
The two convex indentations 4 in the inside of the lid can be used to store standard bottles with a standing height of max. 42 cm.
In order to prevent freezing of the coolbox contents when operating with 12 V, the coolbox should not be operated below 17 °C outside temperature.

Operation

Due to the materials used, the inside of the cool box may emit an odour typical for the product prior to first use. This odour is harmless, but for reasons of hygiene we do recommend wiping the inside and outside of the cool box with a damp cloth (also see chapter „Cleaning and Care“) prior to first use. Further, do not store unpackaged foods in it.

Place the coolbox on a firm and level surface. The connection cables are fixed to the coolbox and can be found in the cable compartment 1 in the rear of the lid.
☐ Depending on the choice of power source required, connect either the 12 V or the 230 V connection cable to the socket of the power source selected. The coolbox starts to work immediately.

• In 12 V operation = the cool box starts working immediately.
• In 230 V operation = switch on the cool box using the cooling efficiency switch 3 at the front.

Note: the lid can be locked in the opened position by means of the handle and hook on the inside of the lid (see fig. A1).

- Function with 230 V operation in "eco mode"

When operating with a 230 V power supply, the cooling output can be controlled by means of the cooling output switch 3 on the front of the lid (see fig. B).

The coolbox operates in normal operation (cooling output switch 3 in the 'eco' position - small dot on the rotary button facing in the direction of 'eco' - see fig. B) with a very high level of energy saving and achieves an inside temperature of approx. 14° to 17 °C at an outside temperature of approx. 25 °C. This corresponds to a Delta T (Delta T = difference between outside temperature and inside temperature) of approx. 8 - 11 °C. The energy consumption corresponds with this to the A++ energy class. Since the inside temperature of a coolbox is influenced by the particular ambient temperature, the Delta T output in 'eco mode' is always 8 - 11 °C at other outside temperatures. You can control the inside temperature by turning the cooling output switch 3:

☐ Turn the cooling output switch 3 clockwise in the direction of "MAX". This gives you a lower (colder) inside temperature value.
☐ Turn the cooling output switch 3 anti-clockwise in the direction of "OFF". This gives you a higher (warmer) inside temperature value.
☐ Turn the cooling output switch 3 to the "OFF" position. This turns the coolbox off.

Note: If you want to reach a Delta T (Delta T = difference between outside temperature and inside

temperature) of up to 17 °C and thereby a lower inside temperature than is possible in the "eco" normal operation, turn the cooling output switch 3 to the "MAX" position. Please note that in this case more energy will be consumed than in normal operation.

After the operation with 230 V function has been completed, disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

• Function with 12 V operation

CAUTION! The temperature controller on the front of the lid is only suited to 230 V operation and it does not function in 12 V operation.

When operating with a 12 V power supply, the cooling unit always produces a temperature difference from the ambient temperature of up to 17 °C. The cooling output can not be controlled by means of the temperature controller on the front of the lid.

- Tips for the best cooling output and energy saving

☐ Select a well ventilated location protected from sunshine.
☐ Only place pre-cooled contents into the cool-box.
☐ Do not open the coolbox longer than necessary.
□ Don't leave the lid open longer than necessary.
☐ Ensure that the coolbox is not packed too full and that the air can circulate adequately between the coolbox contents.
☐ In order that a high level of energy saving can be achieved, normal operation (cooling output switch 3 in the "eco" position) is recommended for longer periods of use in 230 V operation.

● Exchanging the 12 V fuse

See also fig. C.

To replace the 12 V fuse, unscrew the red adjustment sleeve 7 from the plug, turning counter-clockwise.
□ Unscrew the screw 5 with a suitable Phillips screwdriver from the top half of the housing 6.
☐ Lift the top half 6 of the housing from the bottom half 9.
☐ Lift the contact pin 11 carefully out of the housing section. The fuse 10 can now be removed.

Note: If the thin metal connection in the middle between the two metal caps is broken, then the fuse 10 is defective and must be replaced.

☐ Press the contact spring 8 backwards and insert the new fuse 10 carefully into the groove provided for it. Now place the rear edge of the contact pin 11 on the front metal cap of the fuse 10. By releasing the contact spring 8, the fuse 10 and contact pin 11 are located in the groove.

☐ Screw the top and bottom halves of the housing 6 9 together again, reattach the red adapter sleeve 7 and turn clockwise to tighten. The plug is now ready for operation.

●Possiblemalfunctions

Firstly check whether you have correctly followed the instructions for using the coolbox, then also check:

• Is the connection cable correctly connected and does your car cigarette lighter / domestic socket function properly?
• Have you set up the coolbox in such a way that the air can circulate freely and that venting of the cooling unit can occur?
• Is the fuse in the plug of the 12 V connection cable OK?
• Check the position of the cooling output switch 3 on the front of the lid.

If you can not rectify the malfunction on your own, please contact our Customer Service (see chapter on "Service").

- Cleaning and care

• Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents. If you do, there is a risk of damage to the product.
  Before any cleaning, pull the plug of the connection cable out of the socket or of the cigarette lighter. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
  ■ Never clean the coolbox under running water. If you do, this could result in damage to the electrics.
  Before cleaning, remove the electrical lid by pulling it into an upright position (90°) and then pressing it through the right rear recess.
  ☐ Use a dry cloth for cleaning the electrical lid.
  ☐ Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution for cleaning the bottom section of the coolbox.
  ☐ Use clean water to rinse off those parts cleaned with soapy water.
  ☐ Insert the lid once again by fixing it into the projection 4 provided on the rear left side of the appliance and then press the right side in an upright position (90°) into the recess of the lower part once again.
