• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

- Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload cooling devices.

Explosion hazard

- Do not store any explosive substances such as spray cans with a flammable propellant in the cooling device.

CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Electrocution hazard

• Before starting the cooling device, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.
• Disconnect the cooling device from the power supply – before each cleaning and maintenance – after every use

Health hazard

• Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for storing the food or medicine you wish to cool.
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
• Opening the cooling device for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the device.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the device, so that it is not in contact with or can drip onto other food.
  • If the device is left empty for long periods:
• Switch off the device.
• Defrost the device.
• Clean and dry the device.
• Leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the device.

NOTICE! Damage hazard

• Check that the voltage specification on the type plate corresponds to that of the energy supply.
• Only connect the cooling device to a DC power supply in the vehicle with the DC cable.
  • Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable.

• Disconnect the cooling device and other power consuming devices from the battery before connecting a quick charging device.

• Disconnect the cooling device 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 insulation of the cooling device contains flammable cyclopentane and requires special disposal procedures. Deliver the cooling device at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling center.
• 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.).

- Risk 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 cables against heat and moisture.
  • For HGV operation:

Empty the coolbox and switch the device off (see chapter "Switching off the coolbox" on page 13), before the driver's cabin is tipped up.

1 Operating instructions

4 P r o p e r u s e

The drawer coolers CD20 and CD30 are suitable for use in HGVs, boats or caravans and has been designed for a maximum permanent inclination of 30^ .

An optimum cooling capacity is guaranteed at ambient temperatures between +16 °C and +32 °C and at a maximum air humidity of 90 %.

NOTE

Before exposing the cooling device to extreme conditions, please contact the manufacturer.

CAUTION! Health hazard!

• Please check if the cooling capacity of the device is suitable for storing the food or medicine you wish to cool.
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

5 Technical description

The cooling devices can cool goods or keep goods cool in a temperature range from 0^ C to +15°C (CD20) or -2°C to +12°C (CD30).

The coolbox is equipped with a battery monitor which switches the compressor off and on again and thereby protects both the battery and compressor against damage. The switch-off and switch-on points measured at the connection terminals of the compressor are listed in the chapter “Technical data” on page 17.

6 Installation

CAUTION! Health hazard

To avoid a hazard due to instability of the device, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.

NOTICE!

• Ensure that the positive cable is connected to the positive terminal and the negative cable to the negative terminal.
• When choosing the installation location, ensure that the air heated by the liquefier can be drawn off.

NOTE

• To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance, the cable route should be kept as short as possible and should not be interrupted if this is possible. For this reason avoid additional switches, plug or power strips.
• You can detach the compressor from the cooling device and mount it in another place on the cooling device, or separately from it (fig. 2, page 3). Make sure that the refrigerant line is 1.5 m (CD20)/1.5 m (CD30) long.

Please observe the following instructions:

▶Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length according to fig. 6, page 5.

Key to fig. 6, page 5

| Cable length m

∅ Cable cross section mm²

Connect your cooling device as directly as possible to the battery terminal or to an outlet with a fuse of at least 15 A (12 V) or 7.5 A (24 V).

▶ Fix the device in place using the screwing holes (see fig. 4, page 4 and fig. 5, page 4).

7 O p e r a t i o n

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 care” on page 14).

7.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
• 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.
  • Defrost your cooling device as soon as a layer of ice forms.
• Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.
• Clean the condenser of dirt (dust etc.) at regular intervals.

7.2 Switching on the coolbox

▶Open the coolbox drawer.

▶To switch on the coolbox, turn the thermostat knob clockwise (see fig. 3 1, page 4).

√The coolbox starts cooling the interior.

NOTE

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

7.3 Selecting the temperature

The switch on the thermostat (see fig. 3 1, page 4) displays the selected temperature.

Switch position	Temperature range (dependent of ambient temperature)
	CD20 CD30

MAX approx. -2^ in interior

MIN

approx. +12 °C in interior

▶ If you wish to set the temperature to cooling, turn the thermostat knob (see fig. 3 1, page 4), to the desired temperature range.

7.4 Switching off the coolbox

NOTE

If you wish to leave the cooling device switched off for a longer period, clean it and leave the drawer slightly open. This will prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

▶Open the coolbox drawer.
To switch off the coolbox, turn the thermostat knob (see fig. 3 1, page 4) to the "0" position.
√The coolbox is switched off.
▶ If you wish to stop using the coolbox, disconnect the connecting cable from the battery.

7.5 Defrosting

Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device. This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.

NOTICE!

Do not remove the layer of ice with hard or sharp tools. These can damage the plastic of the vaporiser.

▶Take the food or other objects out of the device and place it in another cooling device to keep it cool, if necessary.
▶Switch the cooling device off (see chapter "Switching off the coolbox" on page 13) and leave the drawer open.
▶Wipe off the water resulting from defrosting or – if present – empty the collecting tray.

8 Cleaning and care

NOTICE! Damage hazard

• 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.
