3 Scope of delivery

Quantity Description

1 C o o l e r

1 Connection cable for cigarette lighter/12 V socket

Before starting the device check if all of the parts belonging to the scope of delivery are present.

4 Intended use

The cooler is suitable for cooling and keeping foodstuffs warm. The device is also suitable for camping.

If you wish to cool medicines, please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for the medicine in question.

5 Technical description

The cooler is suitable for mobile use. You can keep products cool or cool them to approx. 20 °C under the ambient temperature (thermostat switches off at approx. +5 °C) or warm them or keep them warm at a max temperature of 65 °C.

Its cooling system is a non-wearing and CFC-free Peltier cooling, the heat is discharged by a fan.

The device is fitted with a 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 11.5 V. This ensures that the battery retains a residual voltage that enables the vehicle to start. The cooler switches itself on again as soon as the battery can supply a voltage of 12.8 V again.

When the battery monitor switches the device off, the battery still has around 20% of its charging capacity. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers without long charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged.

6.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct sunlight.
• Allow food to cool down first before placing it in the device to cool.
• Do not open the cooler more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the lid or door open for longer than necessary.

6.2 Switching on the cooler

If you connect the device to the cigarette lighter or the 12 V socket of your vehicle, remember that the ignition must be turned on to supply the device with power.

Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling/warming to the selected temperature.

▶Place the device on a firm base.
▶Connect the device with the cable supplied to the 12 V socket or the cigarette lighter in the vehicle (3, page 3).
▶ Press the blue button (2 1, page 3) on the control panel to start "cooling" or Press the red button (2 5, page 3) on the control panel to start "heating".

9 Troubleshooting

Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy
Your cooler is not working and the fan wheel which can be seen from the outside is not turning.	There is no voltage flowing from the cigarette lighter in your vehicle.	The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles for voltage to flow at the cigarette lighter.
The ignition is on and the cooler is not working.Pull the plug out of the socket and make the following checks.	The cigarette lighter socket is dirty. This results in a poor electrical contact.The fuse of the connection cable has blown.The vehicle fuse has blown.	Clean the socket of the cigarette lighter with a non-metallic brush and a solvent, to ensure that the middle contact pin is clean. If the plug of your cooler becomes very warm in the cigarette lighter socket, either the socket must be cleaned or the plug has not been assembled correctly.Replace the connection cable fuse (5 A).Replace the vehicle cigarette lighter fuse (usually 15 A). Please refer to the operating manual of your vehicle.
The ignition is on and the cooler is not working.The two LED's on the control panel flash.	The battery monitor has acted because the supply voltage has sunk below 11.5 V.	Recharge the vehicle battery.When the the battery monitor switches the device off, the battery still has around 20% of its charging capacity. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers without long charging phases.Ensure that the battery is recharged.
Your cooler does not cool satisfactorily and the outer fan wheel is not turning.	The fan motor is defective.	This can only be repaired by an authorised customer services unit.
The cooler does not cool satisfactorily and the outer fan wheel is turning.	The fan motor for the inner fan is defective.The Peltier element is defective.	This can only be repaired by an authorised customer services unit.
