Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the cooling device.

Always keep and use the cooling device out of the reach of children under the age of 8 years.

Do not store any explosive substances such as spray cans with a flammable propellant in the cooling device.

Disconnect the cooling device from the power supply – before each cleaning and maintenance – after every use

Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

Check that the voltage specification on the type plate corresponds to that of the energy supply.

Only connect the cooling device to a DC power supply in the vehicle with the DC cable.

Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable.

Disconnect the cooling device and other power consuming devices from the battery before connecting a quick charging device.

Disconnect the cooling device or switch it off when you turn off the engine. Otherwise you may discharge the battery.

The cooling device is not suitable for transporting caustic materials or materials containing solvents.

The insulation of the cooling device contains flammable cyclopentane and requires special disposal procedures. Deliver the cooling device at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling.

2.2 Operating the cooling device safely

Before starting the cooling device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.

Do not place the cooling device near naked flames or other heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).

Danger of overheating! Ensure at all times that there is a minimum of 50 mm ventilation on all four sides of the cooling device. Keep the ventilation area free of any objects that could restrict the air flow to the cooling components. Do not place the cooling device in closed compartments or areas with none or minimal air flow.

Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered.

Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluids.

Never immerse the cooling device in water.

Protect the cooling device and the cable against heat and moisture. 3Scope of delivery fig. 1, page 3, shows the scope of delivery. 4Accessories To operate the cooler using an AC power supply, we recommend using the following mains adapter. Available as accessory (not included in scope of delivery):

5 Intended use The compressor cooler is suitable for cooling and freezing foodstuffs. The compres- sor cooler is also suitable for use on boats. The compressor cooler is designed to be operated from a 12 Vg or 24 Vg on- board socket of a vehicle (e.g. DC socket), boat or mobile home.

6 Function description The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze them. A mainte- nance-free, CFC-free refrigerant circuit with compressor 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 short-term heel (inclination) of 30°. An integrated dual-stage (CDF18) / three-stage (CDF26, CDF36, CDF46) battery monitor prevents your vehicle battery from excessive discharging. NOTE To operate the device at the AC mains supply, we recommend using one of the following rectifiers:

Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.

Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to keep cool.

Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.

Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary.

Defrost the cooler once a layer of ice forms.

7.3 Connecting the cooler

➤ Plug the 12/24-V connection cable (fig. 1 2, page 3) into the DC voltage socket and also into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V or 24 V socket.

7.4 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 battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.

In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and “MED” (see the following table). WARNING!

Connect the device with the supplied DC cable only.

Do not modify the DC cable. Modifying the DC cable may cause safety risks.

The DC cable must always be protected by 8 A fuse. NOTICE! 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. NOTICE! 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. CDF18-26-36-46--O-16s.book Seite 13 Freitag, 29. Juni 2018 4:25 16EN Operation CoolFreeze

10 Troubleshooting 11 Disposal ➤ Place the packaging material in the appropriate recycling waste bins wherever possible. Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy Device does not function, LED does not glow. No voltage is flowing from the DC power socket in your vehicle. The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles to supply current to the DC power socket. No voltage present in the AC voltage socket. Try using another plug socket. The device does not cool (plug is inserted, POWER LED is lit). Defective compressor. This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre. The device does not cool (plug is inserted, ERROR LED flashes). Battery voltage is too low. Test the battery and charge it as needed. When operating from the DC outlet: The ignition is on and the device is not working and the LED is not lit. The DC outlet is dirty. This results in a poor electrical contact. If the plug of your cooler becomes very warm in the DC outlet, either the DC outlet must be cleaned or the plug has not been assembled correctly. The fuse of the DC plug has blown. Replace the fuse in the DC plug, see chapter “Replacing the plug fuse (12/24 V)” on page 18. The DC fuse inside the device has blown. This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre. The vehicle fuse has blown. Replace the vehicle’s DC outlet fuse. Please refer to your vehicle’s operating manual. ERROR LED flashes for longer than 2 minutes, as follows: 3 flashes, pause, 3 flashes, pause, ... Defective device. This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre.
