Do not use electrical devices inside the cooler unless they are recommended by the manufacturer for the purpose.
-
Do not place the device near naked flames or other heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).
Danger of overheating!
Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the heat that arises during operation does not build up. Make sure that the device is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.
- Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
- Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.
- Never immerse the device in water.
- Protect the device and the cable against heat and moisture.
3 Intended use
In compressor mode the cooler is suitable for cooling and deep freezing foodstuffs. In thermoelectric mode the cooler is only suitable for cooling foodstuffs.
The device is designed for use with:
- a 12 V vehicle electrics socket of a car (such as a cigarette lighter), boat or caravan (see voltage specification on the type plate)
a 230 V AC mains supply
The appliance may also be used for camping use. The appliance shall not to be exposed to rain.

6 Technical description
The hybrid cooler is suitable for portable use. It is equipped with two separate cooling systems. The device features a Peltier cooling system with heat discharged by a fan, as well as a compressor cooling system. The cooling system is non-wearing.
In thermoelectric mode (connection to 12V = ), it can cool goods down to max. 20^ below ambient temperature and keep them cool. In compressor mode (connection to 230V ), it can cool goods down to -15^ and keep them cool.
In compressor mode, you can use the continuously variable thermostat to set the temperature within a range from +12^ to -15^ .

7 Operation
CAUTION! Health hazard!
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
NOTE
- Before starting your new cooling device for the first time, you should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to the chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" on page 12).
- A few water drops may form inside the cooler if it has been cooling for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the cooler falls. The cooler is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if necessary.
7.1 Energy saving tips
- 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.
7.2 Using the cooler
NOTICE! Risk of damage
- Only operate the device from a single energy source.
Simultaneous use of the thermoelectric cooling system and the compressor is not permitted.
- Ensure that the objects or goods placed in the cooling device are suitable for cooling to the selected temperature.
- Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy glass containers.
- Ensure that your cooler is well ventilated so that any heat created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents.
Place the cooler on a firm base.
Connecting the cooler to 12 V (thermoelectric mode)
NOTE
In thermoelectric mode, the thermostat has no function and the device cannot deep freeze.
Make sure the cable between the cooler and the battery is protected by a fuse (maximum 5 A).
Plug the 12-V connection cable (fig. 1 2, page 3) into the cigarette lighter socket or a 12-V socket in the vehicle.
✓The cooler starts cooling the interior.
To switch off the cooler:
- Disconnect the plug.
- Wind the cable around the two holders on the back of the device for storage.
NOTE
Disconnect the cooler from the battery when the engine is not running, as otherwise the battery will run down.
Connecting the cooler to 230 V (compressor mode)
Connect the 230-V connection cable (fig. 1 3, page 3) to the 230-V AC mains supply.
Open the lid of the thermostat (fig. 2 3, page 3) by pressing down on it.
NOTE
Press down on the lid again to close it.
Turn the thermostat (fig. 2 3, page 3) clockwise to the required position.
NOTE
The further you turn the thermostat towards "MAX", the lower the refrigerating temperature.
√The cooler starts cooling the interior.
To switch off the cooler:
- Turn the thermostat (fig. 2 3, page 3) anti-clockwise to "0".
- Disconnect the plug.
- Wind the cable around the two holders on the back of the device for storage.
7.3 Connecting to the cigarette lighter
NOTE
If you connect the cooler to the cigarette lighter, remember that the ignition must be turned on to supply it with power.
8 Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING!
Always disconnect the device from the mains before you clean and service it.
NOTICE! Risk of damage
- Never clean the cooler under running water or in dish water.
- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the cooler.
Occasionally clean the device interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
9 Troubleshooting
| Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy | ||
| Your device is not working (plug is inserted). | There is no voltage flowing from the DC socket (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle. | The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles to supply current to the cigarette lighter. |
| No voltage present in the AC voltage socket. | Try using another plug socket. | |
| The inner fan or the cooling element or the compressor is defective. | This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre. | |
| When operating from the DC socket (cigarette lighter): The ignition is on and the cooler is not working. | The fuse of the DC plug is dirty. This results in a poor electrical contact. | If the plug of your cooler becomes very warm in the DC socket fitting, either the fitting must be cleaned or the plug has not been assembled correctly. |
| The fuse of the DC plug has blown. | Replace the fuse of the DC plug with one of the same rating (fig. 31, page 4). | |
| The vehicle fuse has blown. | Replace the vehicle's DC socket fuse (usually 15 A). Please refer to the operating manual of your vehicle. | |
10 Disposal
Place the packaging material in the appropriate recycling waste bins wherever possible.
