Frequently Asked Questions - GZ-26BW Guzzanti

How do I switch between cooling and warming modes?

Locate the mode switch on the side panel. Press to toggle between COOL and WARM. Wait 5 minutes for temperature change.

Can I use the cooler while the car engine is off?

Yes, but it may drain the car battery if used for extended periods. We recommend limiting use to 2-3 hours with the engine off.

What is the maximum cooling performance?

The cooler can lower the interior temperature up to 20°C below ambient. For example, at 30°C ambient, it can reach about 10°C.

How do I clean the interior?

Unplug the device. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.

Does the cooler work with a 220V household outlet?

Yes, it includes an AC power adapter that plugs into standard 220V sockets. Ensure the adapter is used only with the provided unit.

What does the 'Error' indicator mean?

The 'Error' LED flashes when the unit is not level, the fan is blocked, or internal temperature exceeds safe limits. Place the cooler on a flat surface and ensure ventilation grills are unobstructed.

Can I store frozen items in the cooler?

It maintains cool temperatures but does not freeze. Pre-chilled or frozen items will stay cold longer. To achieve lower temperatures, pre-cool the cooler and use ice packs.

How often should I replace the fan?

The fan is designed for long life, but if it becomes noisy or stops, contact support for a replacement part. It is user-replaceable.

Is the cooler safe for use in a tent?

Yes, the thermoelectric unit produces no open flames. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device, as the fan draws air in and out.

Can I order spare parts directly?

Yes, visit our website or contact customer service. Common spare parts like the DC cable, fan, and Peltier module are available.

PARTS & FEATURE

A. FUNCTIONS

1. AC socket is connected with household power supply.
2. DC socket is connected with safe low voltag DC12V. If the voltage is too low or too high, the machine will stop automatically to protect the automobile battery. It is recommended that the minimum input voltage is higher than 10.7V and the maximum input voltage is lower than 15V.
3. USB socket is connected with 5V safe low voltage.
4. There are two modes of cooling and heating under the three kinds of power supply. After the power is plugged in, the switch is turned to cool, the cooler box starts to cool, the indicator light is green, and the switch is turned to hot, the cooler box starts heating, and the indicator light is red.
5. When using AC socket, Max and Eco these two positions can be adjusted.

A The ambient temperature is relatively high, it is recommended to apply "Max gear" for rapid cooling.
B In case of refrigeration to a relatively low temperature, or in case of heat preservation, it is recommended to apply "Eco" for heat preservation, so that food or articles need to be kept from being too cold and energy saving can be achieved simultaneously.
C If you're outdoors, I recommend you use the "USB" voltage, DC5V Safe Low voltage.

1. If your machine is working for a long time, it is recommended that you use MAX cooling to the target temperature and use ECO mode for insulation to save energy.

B. PERFORMANCE

1. Whole machine power: MAX position power of 65 W (GZ-30), 55 W (GZ-26).
2. Under the environment of 25.5 ^ ± 0.5 ^ , the temperature difference in lower parts of the box can reach more than 20 ^ at “Max” position.
   In "Eco" position, the temperature difference in lower parts of the box can reach more than 10^ .
3. Under the environment of 25.5 ^ ± 0.5 ^ , the heating temperature in lower parts of the box can be maintained at 55 ^ ± 5 ^ . In Eco position, the temperature in lower part of the box can be maintained at about 30 ^ .
4. The portable power source with capacity of 10000mAh can be used for 3-4 hours.

OPERATION

1. Take the product out of the package and place it on a horizontal surface.
2. Before the first use, open the upper cover and place in a ventilated place for 1-2 hours.
3. Please use the standard power cord, cigarette lighter or USB cord.

MAINTENANCE

Caution: The plug must be removed before cleaning to avoid electric shock.

1. Do not use corrosive acid or alkaline solution for cleaning, such as diluent, volatile oil, alcohol, decontamination powder, etc. the plastic and coating parts will change color and deteriorate.
2. Do not wash the machine body directly with water to avoid machine failure.
3. Always clean the dirt around the interior of the cavity to avoid peculiar smell.
