• After unpacking and before use, the box must be placed on a flat surface and left to rest for at least 6 hours.
• Ensure that the freezer box is as level as possible during operation. The angle of inclination must be less than 45^ for short periods of operation and less than 5^ for continuous operation.
• NEVER turn the box upside down to empty it and allow it to drain. Do not use sharp tools for defrosting; do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

• Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel. Improper repairs can lead to hazards.

• The freezer box may only be used with the original SKANDIKA battery (art. no. 8018X_E01). Make sure that the voltage specification on the rating plate matches that of the power supply when charging the battery. Using the wrong voltage or unauthorised batteries can cause damage and/or injury.

• If you notice that the battery is very hot, leaking, smelling, warping or showing other abnormalities during use or storage, stop using it immediately and disconnect the power supply. Keep away from the appliance until it has cooled down. Never take batteries apart!
• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers in accordance with the packaging labelling.
• The box is intended for use in households and similar areas, such as staff kitchens in shops, offices and other working environments, camping and farms, for catering and similar non-retail applications.
• Only use the freezer box for its intended purpose - to cool suitable food and drinks. Any misuse will invalidate the guarantee.
• If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time, switch it off, defrost it, clean it, dry it and leave the door open to prevent mould from forming in the appliance.

(2) Battery indicator (indicates the charge status)
(3) On/off button (press and hold to switch on the battery). When the battery is switched off, briefly press to display the charge status.

CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY

The battery can be charged only when installed (in the freezer box). For example, it can be charged via an adapter on the mains supply or with a suitable cigarette lighter connection on the vehicle electrical system or via a solar panel. Please refer to the illustrations and technical data on the next page.

We generally recommend charging with the freezer box switched off, but if necessary it can also be charged while the refrigerator is running. In this case, make sure that the input power of the charger is higher than the working power of the box (approx. 40-45 W). If this is not the case, the battery will discharge in any case.

If you connect the box to a solar panel, please place it in a cool place to dissipate the heat.

It is recommended to use a 100W solar panel. The maximum solar input voltage must not exceed 50V and the maximum input current must not exceed 10A.

Note: The output of the solar panel is unstable, so it cannot power the freezer box directly.

For your information:

Discharge time: The battery has a discharge protection that automatically switches off the power supply when the charge level is low. The battery lasts about 4 hours after it has been fully charged. If the temperature of the freezer box is set to +2 to +8^ (ambient temperature 25^ ), it can last for 12 hours after the internal temperature has stabilised. Remove the battery or switch it off to prevent self-discharge when the box is not in use.

USE

Explanation of the display and controls:

Power supply (with suitable adapter): 12V/24V DC or 100~240V AC or solar (12-50V)

Initializing: After switching on (pressing the on/off button), a beep sounds and the display is initialised. After approx. 2 seconds, it switches to standby mode. If you want to switch off the device, press and hold the on/off button for approx. 3 seconds until the device switches off.

Temperature setting: You can set the temperature for each of the two storage compartments (left and right) from -20^ to +20^ (-4^ to +68^)

You can also operate both or just one storage compartment. During operation, press and hold the two + + and SET buttons for approx. 3 seconds to switch the left-hand storage compartment on or off and the two - - and SET buttons for approx. 3 seconds to switch the right-hand storage compartment on or off. Both compartments cannot be switched off at the same time.

To set the temperature when a storage compartment is switched on, press r + ^ (increase temperature) and r - ^ (decrease temperature). To select the storage compartment on the right and left for the setting (if both are in operation), press the SET button. The setting is saved automatically.

Please note that the temperature shown on the LED display in normal operation is the current temperature - it takes some time until the set target temperature is reached.

Cooling mode: In normal operation, you can use the SET button to switch between the two cooling modes MAX(faster cooling) or ECO resource-saving). The MAX mode is preset on delivery.

Battery discharge protection: You can switch between 3 discharge protection levels for the battery by pressing and holding (for approx. 3 seconds) the SET button during normal operation: H (High) / M (Medium) / L (Low). "H" is preset on delivery.

Current voltage limits of the respective stages:

Mode H: a) with 12V connection: switch-off at 11.1V, restart at 12.4V

b) with 24V connection: switch-off at 24.3V , restart at 25.7V

Mode M: a) with 12V connection: switch-off at 10.1V, restart at 11.4V

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning:

Switch off the appliance first and disconnect the power supply to avoid electric shock. Remove the lid and the drain from the opening at the bottom of the appliance.

Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. Do not soak the box in water and do not wash it directly. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning, as these can damage the appliance.

Storage:

If you are not using the appliance for a longer period of time, please follow these instructions:

• Switch off the appliance and disconnect the power supply.
• Remove all items stored in the appliance.
• Wipe off excess water with a soft cloth.
• Place the appliance in a cool and dry place.
• Leave the storage compartment covers slightly open to prevent odours from forming.
• Recommended storage environment: Ambient temperature: 25^ C ,ambient humidity: ≤ 75% .

Defrost:

Moisture can lead to frost forming inside the cooling unit or on the evaporator. This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the appliance in good time to avoid this. To do this, switch off the appliance beforehand and disconnect the power supply to avoid an electric shock.

Remove all items stored in the appliance. Leave the storage compartment covers open. Wipe off the defrosted water.

Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or loosen frozen objects that are frozen!

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Cooling is not working or not working correctly

Check whether the switch is switched on and the power supply is connected correctly.

Check whether the fuse has blown or the power supply is otherwise faulty.

Frequently switching the cooling on and off can lead to a delay in starting the compressor. If you have the impression that it is too warm in the storage compartments, this may be due to frequent opening of the covers or the recent storage of hot food.

Problem: Stored food is frozen

Check whether the temperature is set too low.

Problem: Loud noises can be heard when switching on or „running water“ can be heard during operation or drops of water are forming on the outside of the appliance.

These are all normal phenomena and do not indicate a malfunction.

Display „F1“:

Possible cause: undervoltage. Set the battery protection from High to Medium or from Medium to Low. Switch off the battery or connect the compressor and the battery to a 12/24V or 100-240V (with the adapter) power supply in good time to prevent the battery from discharging via leakage current over a longer period of time.

Display ,F2“:

Possible cause: Fan is overloaded. Disconnect the box from the power supply for 5 minutes and restart it.

Display „F3“/ „F4“:

Possible cause: The compressor starts too often (F3) or does not start (F4). Disconnect the power supply for 5 minutes and restart.

Display ,F5“:

Possible cause: Overheating of the compressor and electronics. Disconnect the power supply for 5 minutes and restart.

Display „F6“:

Possible cause: The control unit cannot recognise a parameter. Disconnect the power supply for 5 minutes and restart.

Display 7^ / 8^

Possible cause: Temperature sensor defective. Contact customer service.

If you cannot solve the problem with these instructions, please contact customer service.
