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	Operating mode	Display
	Cooling Indicator light is green
	Keeping warm	Indicator light is red
	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. 20^ C below ambient temperature (at 25^ C ± 2^ C) and heats up to approx. 55^ C ± 5^ C in MAX mode. In ECO mode, there is a temperature difference of approx. 10^ C when cooling.

▶ Fold down the carry handle (5) to flip the cool box lid up (3).

Fill the cool box, observing the information in the following table.

Cooling[CHBT]	▸ To ensure optimal coo ing, 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 pre-warmed takes considerably longer and uses more energy.

▶ Close the cool box lid.
▶ Fold the carry handle forward to secure the cool box lid. The cool box lid cannot be opened.

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^ C to 32^ C. If temperatures deviate from this range, the appliance performance may be reduced.
