2.2 Operating the cooling device safely

CAUTION! Before starting the cooling device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.

NOTICE! Do not use electrical devices inside the cooling device unless they are recommended by the manufacturer for the purpose. Do not place the cooling device near naked flames or other heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.). Danger of overheating! Ensure at all times that there is a minimum of 50 mm ventilation on all four sides of the cooling device. Keep the ventilation area free of any objects that could restrict the air flow to the cooling components. Do not place the cooling device in closed compartments or areas with none or minimal air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered. Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluids. Never immerse the cooling device in water. Protect the cooling device and the cable against heat and moisture. 3 Intended use The cooling device is suitable for cooling foodstuffs. The device is also able to heat using the additional heating feature. The device is designed for use with: a DC 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 must not to be exposed to rain.

4 Accessories Available as accessory (not included in scope of delivery): 5 Technical description The cooler is portable. It can cool items and keep them cool or heat items and keep them warm (with the additional heating feature) to max. 65 °C. Its cooling system is a non-wearing Peltier cooling, the heat is discharged by a fan. When the cooler is connected to a 230 V AC mains supply, it can be used in two different operating modes: ECO mode: the cooler consumes less energy MAX mode: the cooler reaches maximum cooling capacity The desired cooling capacity is selected with the cooling capacity control: ➤ To increase the cooling capacity, turn the cooling capacity control clock- wise. For the maximum cooling capacity turn the cooling capacity control clock- wise all the way to the stop (max position). ➤ To decrease the cooling capacity, turn the cooling capacity control counterclockwise. To turn off the cooler, turn the cooling capacity control counterclockwise all the way to the stop (off position). When the cooler is connected to the DC socket, the cooling capacity cannot be adjusted. In this case the cooler cools maximal.

5.1 Optional accessories

The device is available in different versions. The version you bought may have the following additional features: Heating The contents of your cooler can be warmed or kept warm to max. 65 °C. ABS (activatable battery protection) An integrated battery monitor can be switched on to protect your vehicle battery from discharging to dangerously low levels. Insulating lid The lightweight insulating lid can be used as an alternative to the unit lid when transporting. Make sure that the insulating lid does not cool. Bottle hatch A single drinks bottle can be removed via the bottle hatch. Additional pockets Pockets on the outside provide additional storage space. Note that objects stored in them are not cooled. 6Operation

CAUTION! Health hazard! Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers. NOTICE! Risk of damage Ensure that all objects placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling or heating (with the additional heating feature) to the selected temperature. Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Drinks or liquid foods expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy the 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. Mobicool-AC-DC--O-16s.book Seite 8 Montag, 8. Januar 2018 6:11 18EN Mobicool AC/DC Operation

Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight. If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling capacity for the cooler device, use the device’s ECO mode. Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to keep cool. Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary. Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary. Remove individual drinks bottles through the bottle hatch, if present.

6.2 Using the cooler in DC mode

➤ Place the cooler on a firm base. ➤ Connect the DC cable to the cigarette lighter or the DC socket in the vehicle. 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 11). 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. NOTE For coolers with fold in handles If the handle is folded back or if the cooler is being carried, the lid is locked. You can only open the lid when the handle is folded forwards. Mobicool-AC-DC--O-16s.book Seite 9 Montag, 8. Januar 2018 6:11 18EN Operation Mobicool AC/DC

Problem Possible cause Suggested remedyYour device is not working (plug is inserted).There is no voltage flowing from the DC socket (ciga-rette 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 is defective.This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre.When operating from the DC socket (ciga-rette lighter):The ignition is on and the cooler is not work- ing. The fitting 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.The vehicle fuse has blown. Replace the vehicle's DC socket fuse (usually 15 A). Please refer to the operating manual of your vehicle. Mobicool-AC-DC--O-16s.book Seite 12 Montag, 8. Januar 2018 6:11 18DE Mobicool AC/DC
