6. Preparing the cool box
Unpack the appliance and dispose of all packaging.
Clean the cool box as described in the section "10. Cleaning and maintenance".
Before connecting, ensure that the cool box is switched off (operating switch in OFF position).
6.1. Connecting the cool box to an earthed socket
Use the mains cable when operating via an earthed socket 220-240 V AC.
Pull the 220-240 V~ mains plug out of the mains cable compartment.
Insert the flat plug of the mains cable into the earthed socket.
6.2. Connecting the cool box to an on-board socket
Use the mains cable with 12V universal plug during operation via an on-board socket (in a car, boat or campervan) with 12VDC .
Pull the mains cable with 12 V universal plug out of the mains cable compartment.
Insert the 12 V universal plug of the mains cable into the on-board socket.
The appliance is provided with a battery protection circuit that switches the cool box off at a voltage of 11.2V .
- Disconnect the mains cable when the engine is switched off to protect the vehicle battery from complete discharge.
After operating the device via an earthed socket 220-240 V AC, wait approx. 1 to 5 minutes before operating it via an on-board socket with 12 V DC. The residual energy of the capacitor may prevent an immediate power supply via the on-board socket.
6.3. Connecting the cool box to a USB port
Use the USB cable (19) when operating via a mobile charging device or any other 5 V USB port.
Pull the USB cable out of the mains cable compartment.
Insert the USB A plug into a 5 V USB socket.
Operation via a USB connection is suitable for short-term storage of food, for example during transport. For longer storage, use the connection options listed above.
7. Using the cool box
Storing food
- Store raw meat and fish in appropriate containers in the appliance to ensure that they do not come into contact with or drip onto other food.
Depending on your cooling requirements, store sensitive food at the top and less sensitive food at the bottom of the cool box. - Leave enough space for air to circulate between the food to ensure even cooling.
Select the operating mode using the operating switch OFF/
| Switch position | Operat- ing mode | Display |
| * | Cooling Indicator light is green | |
| Keeping warm | Indicator light is red | |
| OFF | Switched off | Indicator light off |
- When operating via an earthed socket, you can choose between the ECO (energy-saving operation) and MAX (powerful operation) power settings.
The cool box cools up to approx. 18^ (± 10%) below ambient temperature (at 25^± 2^ and heats up to approx. 55^± 5^ in MAX mode. In ECO mode, there is a temperature difference of approx. 10^ when cooling.
Position the cool box like a chest or refrigerator:
- When used as a chest, the divider separates the cooling/warming container.
- When used as a refrigerator, the divider serves as a shelf.
Fill the cool box, observing the information in the following table.
Cooling
To ensure optimal cooling, fill the cool box with food and drinks that have already been chilled.
Cooling food and drinks that have not been pre-chilled takes considerably longer and uses more energy.
When operating without electricity, use pre-chilled ice packs.
Keeping warm
Fill the cool box with food and drinks that are already warm. Warming up food and drinks that have not been prewarmed takes considerably longer and uses more energy.
8. Tips for saving energy
The actual cooling capacity depends on the outside temperature. Choose a location to use the appliance that is well ventilated and protected from the sun's rays.
Use the ECO mode of the cool box when operating via an earthed socket.
- Allow warm foods to cool off before you keep them cool in the cooling appliance.
Use additional pre-chilled ice packs. Place the ice packs on the base and on the side walls.
If the cool box lid is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the cool box to increase significantly. To avoid loss of cold/heat, open the cool box lid only briefly and not too often.
Do not cover the vents.
The appliance is suitable for climate class N (see technical specifications). Correct cooling performance of the appliance is guaranteed at ambient temperatures from 16^ to 32^ . If temperatures deviate from this range, the appliance performance may be reduced.
9. Transporting the cool box
Close the cool box.
The cool box is equipped with transport rollers. Fold down the transport handle and pull the cool box by the handle.
10. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
