DESCRIPTION

The car cool box is suitable for keeping the temperature of the already cooled foods and beverages (it is not to be used as a refrigerator).

The car cool box is also equipped with a heating function for your convenience (keeps food warm). Select the setting with the switch for switching the cooling/heating functions.

It is suitable for mobile use, e.g. for camping, fishing and it could be used as a storage for dishes as well (cups etc.). The device must not be exposed to rain!

The device is designed for connection to 12V DC outlet in the car (cigarette lighter), in a boat or in a caravan, as well as for connection to the main power grid of 220-240 V.

Warning: If you wish to keep medication cold, make sure that the cooling power of the equipment is suitable for the medication.

Since during the cooling the humid air inside the car cool box condenses, you can find drops of water on the inside of the bag in case of long-term cooling. It is a normal phenomenon, wipe the condensation with dry cloth if necessary.

USING THE APPLIANCE

For hygienic reasons, wipe the inside space of the car cool box with a sponge slightly moistened with a mild solution of dish detergent before first use. Then wipe the space with a sponge moistened with clean water and dry it.

When the handle is pushed back, the lid is closed and cannot be opened. Do not try to force the lid. The lid may be opened when the handle points toward the front.

Warning: Always lift the car cool box by the handle. Risk of tipping over!

Note about cooling:

You can use 2 modes for cooling

1. Normal mode:

In this mode (switch is in the "NORMAL" position) the cooling operates in the energy class "D". The temperature inside the cool box drops about 15 - 20^ below the outside temperature, if the outside temperature is about 25^ .

1. ECO mode:

In this mode (switch is in the ECO position) the cooling operates in the energy class A++ and the temperature inside the cool box drops about 6 - 10^ below the outside temperature, if the outside temperature is about 25^

Note about heating:

The heating operates only in the „NORMAL“ mode and the internal temperature reaches about 55 - 65^ .

1. Place the car cool box on a flat surface, which ensures enough free space for proper functioning of the air vents.
2. Make sure that the food and drinks placed in the car cool box are suitable for cooling at that temperature and let them cool sufficiently before placing them in the device. We recommend that you pre-cool the car cool box for at least 4 hours to keep the food cooled to the required temperature for as long as possible.
3. Connect 12V DC power canle to the cigarette lighter socket or 12V DC outlet in your car, or connect the AC cable to the appropriate connector on the car cool box and into the AC voltage outlet.
4. Close the lid of the car cool box and secure it by turning the handle backwards.
5. Turn the switch on the control panel to the position COLD (cooling) or HOT (heating). According to the selected mode, green light (cooling) or red light (heating) turns on.

In the heating mode, the fan automatically turns on or off and thus regulates the temperature.

Warning: Before switching the car cool box from the cooling mode to heating mode and vice versa, the car cool box must be switched OFF for at least 5 minutes!

1. The car cool box starts cooling/heating.
2. By turning the switch into the position OFF you will switch off the cooling/heating. If you will not use the device any more, unplug the cable from the cigarette lighter in your car or from the wall outlet.

Warning: If you plug the cable in the cigarette lighter in the car, the ignition must be on to supply the power to the car cool box.

We definitely do not recommend starting the vehicle with the car cooler connected. Always unplug the car cooler from the car socket when starting the car.

The car cooler has a consumption of up to 7 A during operation, so it is necessary to have the car battery in good condition and the circuit of the car socket protected by a fuse prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer.

If there are multiple outlets in the electrical circuit, we recommend that you only have one appliance connected at a time to avoid overloading the fuse and damaging the wiring.

Power saving tips

Choose a well ventilated place that is protected against direct sunlight.

Do not open the lid more often than necessary.

Clean the insulation on the inside of the lid regularly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the power cable from the cigarette lighter or an outlet before any cleaning or maintenance! Wipe the inside/outside of the car cool box with a sponge slightly moistened in a weak solution of dish detergent. Then wipe the inside/outside with a sponge soaked in water and dry. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning powders. Do not wash the car cool box under running water and do not immerse it in water!

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause Solution
The car cool box is not functioning.	There is no power in the 12V DC outlet (cigarette lighter) of the car.	In most types of cars the ignition must be switched on to have power in the cigarette lighter.

The car cool box does not heat (it is connected and the LED indicator is on).	The inside fan or the heatsink is broken.	This defect must be repaired only by an authorized service center.
The connection to the 12V DC outlet (cigarette lighter): The car cool box receives power, but is not functioning. Unplug it from the outlet and take following steps.	The cigarette lighter is covered by cigarette ash, which is the cause of insufficient power.	If the 12V DC plug of the car cool box overheats when plugged in the cigarette lighter outlet, either the cigarette lighter must be cleaned, or the 12V DC plug was incorrectly installed.
	The fuse of the 12V DC plug burned out.	Change fuse (5 A) in the 12 V DC plug.
