Tropicool TB-W203 Installation

6 Installation

Note the following instructions when fitting the built-in cooler in the vehicle:

Install the cooler in a dry, sheltered place (Dimensions: see fig. 1, page 3).
- Avoid installing the devices next to heat sources such as heaters, gas ovens, hot water pipes, etc.
- The device must be installed so that heated air from the cooling unit can dissipate easily. Therefore make sure there is adequate ventilation.

7 Operation

Before starting your new cooler for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see "Cleaning and maintenance" on page 14).

7.1 Energy saving tips

• Do not open the cooler more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the lid or door open for longer than necessary.

7.2 Using the cooler

Like every refrigerator, your cooler must be properly ventilated so that any heat created can dissipate, otherwise it cannot be guaranteed to work properly.

Switch on the cooler using the power switch (see fig. 2, page 3, A).
The red LED on the power switch lights up and the temperature inside the cooler falls to 5^ at most.

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