NOTICE!

If you use the ISOFIX fixing kit in the vehicle, the weight of the cooler and its contents may not exceed 13kg

The refrigerator can be used to cool and keep foodstuffs warm. The device can be also used for camping purposes.

If you want to cool medicine, check please if the cooling capacity of the device corresponds to the requirements of the respective pharmaceuticals.

All materials processed in the refrigerator are safe for foodstuffs.

6 Technical description

The cooling box is suitable for mobile use. It can cool goods up to max. 30^ under ambient temperature (thermostatic switch-off with approx. +1^ ) or keep them cool or warm them up to max. 65^ or keep them warm.

If the device has reached the set temperature range, then it will automatically switch over to the energy save mode. In this mode only the energy is consumed which is required to reach the temperature inside the box.

The cooling is a wear free thermo-electric cooler with heat removal through a ventilator.

The cooling box is equipped with an automatic priority circuit. Thus it is ensured that with simultaneous connection to the alternating current circuit and to a 12/24-V-battery, the alternating current circuit will be used.

Operation TC-21FL-150

7 Operation

NOTICE!

If you use the cooler in your car, you must secure the lid with the velcro fasteners supplied (FK-ISO).

NOTE

Before you put the new refrigerator into operation, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see also chapter "Cleaning and servicing" on page 23).

7.1 Tips to save energy

NOTE

A ventilator in the interior space of the cooling box provides for the circulation of the cold air within the box. Thus a better cooling capacity will be achieved. In order that the cold air cannot reach the outside when opening the cooling box, this is equipped with a switch which turns off the ventilator as soon as the lid is opened.

• 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.
• If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling capacity for the cooler unit, use the cooler's ECO mode.

7.2 Switch on the cooling box

NOTICE!

Take care that there are only objects or goods in the cooling box which may be cooled or heated to the selected temperature.

Place the cooler on a firm support or fasten it in the vehicle using the ISO-FIX kit.

The plug is safe against wrong polarity: You can plug it only in one direction into the (fig. 3, page 2) socket.

Connect the cooler

• Using the cable supplied to a 220-240 V socket, or
• Using the cable supplied to the 12/24V socket in the vehicle (fig. 3, page 2).

Press the button "ON/OFF" at the control panel (fig. 2 A, page 2) to switch on the cooling box.

√The cooling box starts to cool or heat the interior space.

7.3 Switch over between cooling and heating

If you want to switch over between cooling and heating, press the button "HOT/COLD" (fig. 2 D, page 2).

NOTE

The control unit of the cooling box has a memory function. It memorises the selected temperature range for each mode (cooling and heating). Thus the temperature range which is previously selected in the mode is set again with each switching on or switching over.

The red or blue operating display lights up and the device starts to cool/heat.
When you want to finish the cooling or heating process, press the button "ON/OFF" (fig. 2 A, page 2).
When you put the cooling box out of operation, disconnect it from the mains.

Operation TC-21FL-150

7.4 Select temperature

The status display of the temperature (fig. 2 F, page 2) indicates the selected temperature range. With an increasing number of illuminating LEDs, the intensity of the temperature range also increases.

NOTE

The following temperature indications are subject to tolerances and are dependent on the measuring position.

Interior space-temperature at approx. 25^ ambient temperature:

	Status display Temperature range
Cooling	seven illuminating LEDs approx 1 °C in the interior space
	an illuminating LED approx 12 °C in the interior space (ECO mode)
Heating	seven illuminating LEDs approx 65 °C in the interior space
	an illuminating LED approx 50 °C in the interior space

If you want to select the temperature to cool/heat, press the button "Temp" (fig. 2 F, page 2), until the requested temperature range is reached.

Troubleshooting TC-21FL-ISO

10 Troubleshooting

Fault Possible cause Suggestion
Your box does not func-tion and the fan impeller which is visible from outside does not rotate.	The cigarette lighter in your vehicle does not conduct any voltage.	In the most vehicles, the ignition switch must be switched on, so that the cigarette lighter has voltage.
The ignition is switched on and the box does not work.Disconnect the plug immediately from the socket and execute the following checks.	The socket of the ciga-rette lighter is dirty.This results in a poor electrical contact.	Clean the socket of the cigarette lighter with a non-metallic brush and a solvent, so that the middle contact pin is clean. If your cooling box plug becomes very warm in the cigarette lighter box, either the socket must be cleaned or the plug is possibly not correctly assembled.
	The fuse of the con-necting cable is burnt through.	Replace the fuse of the connecting cable (5 A).
	The vehicle fuse is burnt through.	Replace the vehicle fuse of the cigarette lighter (usually 15 A). (Observe the operat-ing instructions in your motorcar for this).
Your box does not cool satisfactorily and the fan impeller at the outside does not rotate.	The ventilator motor is defective.	The repair can be executed only by an authorized customer service.
