- Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

NOTICE!

• Check that the voltage specification on the type plate corresponds to that of the energy supply.
• Only connect the device as follows:

- With the DC cable to a DC plug socket in the vehicle (e. g. cigarette lighter)

- Or with the AC connection cable to the AC mains supply

- Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable.

• If the cooler is connected to the DC socket: Disconnect the cooler and other power consuming devices from the battery before connecting the quick charging device.
• If the cooler is connected to the DC socket: Disconnect the cooler or switch it off when you turn off the engine. Otherwise you may discharge the battery.
• The cooling device is not suitable for transporting caustic materials or materials containing solvents.
• The cooling device contains inflammable cyclopentane in the insulation. The gases in the insulation material require special disposal procedures. Deliver the device at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling.

2.2 Operating the device safely

CAUTION!

- Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.

NOTICE!

- 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 openings 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.

Quantity Description

A1 Cooling device BordBar AS25

-	1	Connection cable for 12 V--- connection
-	1	Connection cable for 230 V~ connection

4 Intended use

The cooler is suitable for cooling foodstuffs.

The cooling device is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments
- farm houses
- clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments
• bed and breakfast type environments
• catering and similar non-retail applications

The device has been designed for use with a 12 V---on-board power supply socket of a car (cigarette lighter), boat or caravan as well as a 230 V\~ mains supply.

The appliance may also be used for camping use. The appliance shall not be exposed to rain. It can be used as a box or cupboard.

NOTE

The seatbelt can be fed through the lugs on the cooler to fasten it to the car seat (see fig. 4, page 4).

CAUTION! Health hazard!

Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for storing the food or medicine you wish to cool.

5 Technical description

The cooler is suitable for mobile use. It can cool goods to max. 18 °C under the ambient temperature or keep them cool.

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 clockwise.
For the maximum cooling capacity turn the cooling capacity control clockwise 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.

Pockets on the outside provide additional storage space. Note that objects stored in them are not cooled.

CAUTION!

Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

NOTICE!

• Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler 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.
• Risk of spillage. Lift the cooler by the handle, not by the shoulder strap.

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 13).
• If the handle is folded back of if the cooler is being carried, the lid is locked. You can only open the lid when the handle is folded forwards.

6.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against 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.

6.2 Using the cooler

▶ Place the cooler on a firm base.
▶ Connect the 12 V connection cable (fig. 2 1, page 3) into the cigarette lighter socket or a 12 V socket in the vehicle

or

▶ Plug the 230 V connection cable (fig. 2 2, page 3) into the AC voltage socket and connect it to the 230 V\~ mains supply.

NOTE

Close the box tightly by pushing down the lid.

√The cooler starts cooling the interior.
When operating at the AC mains supply: Push the ECO cooling capacity control (fig. 1 2, page 3) to the desired position.
▶To switch off the cooler, disconnect the plug.

6.3 Connecting to a cigarette lighter

NOTE

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

7 Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING!

Always disconnect the device from the power supply 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.
▶Make sure that the air inlet and outlet vents on the device are free of any dust and dirt, so that heat can be released and the device is not damaged.

8 G u a r a n t e e

The statutory warranty period applies. If the product is defective, please contact the manufacturer's branch in your country (see the back of the instruction manual for the addresses) or your retailer.

For repair and guarantee processing, please include the following documents when you send in the device:

• A copy of the receipt with purchasing date
- A reason for the claim or description of the fault

9 Troubleshooting

Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy

Your cooler does not work (plug is inserted).	There is no voltage flowing from the 12 V socket (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.	The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles for voltage to flow at the cigarette lighter.
	No voltage present at the AC voltage socket.	Try using another plug socket.
The cooler does not cool (plug is inserted).	The inner fan or the cooling element is defective.	This can only be repaired by an authorised customer services unit.
Operation with a 12 V socket (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.	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.
	The fuse of the 12 V plug has blown.	Replace the fuse (5 A) in the 12 V plug (fig. 3 1, page 3).
	The vehicle fuse has blown.	Replace the vehicle's 12 V 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.

If you wish to finally dispose of the product, ask your local recycling centre or specialist dealer for details about how to do this in accordance with the applicable disposal regulations.
