General information on use
The coolbox is not suitable for continuous oper-
ation. Ice can form on the aluminium cooling
plate. We recommend that the coolbox is
switched off after it has been in operation for 6
days. The coolbox can be put back into opera-
tion after 2 hours.
Dry the surfaces of your coolbox contents so
that a build-up of condensation is avoided.
If the coolbox is not being used, keep the
connection cables in the storage compartment
provided in the lid of the coolbox.
When operating with a 12 V power source, be
careful not to switch the car engine on and off
frequently, so that the power supply to the cool-
box is not interrupted constantly. Also be
aware that the car battery can be run down
too far, if the engine is switched off.
The two convex indentations 4 in the inside of
the lid can be used to store standard bottles
with a standing height of max. 42 cm.
In order to prevent freezing of the coolbox
contents when operating with 12 V, the coolbox
should not be operated below 17 °C outside
temperature.
Operation
Before putting the coolbox into operation, we rec-
ommend for reasons of hygiene that it is washed in-
side and outside with a damp cloth (see also
chapter on “Cleaning and Care”). Moreover don’t
keep any unpackaged food in it.
Place the coolbox on a firm and level surface.
The connection cables are fixed to the coolbox
and can be found in the cable compartment
1
in the rear of the lid.
Depending on the choice of power source
required, connect either the 12 V or the 230 V
connection cable to the socket of the power
source selected. The coolbox starts to work im-
mediately.
Note: the lid can be locked in the opened position
by means of the handle and hook on the inside of
the lid (see fig. A1).
Function with 230 V operation
in “eco mode”
When operating with a 230 V power supply, the
cooling output can be controlled by means of the
cooling output switch
3 on the front of the lid (see
fig. B).
The coolbox operates in normal operation (cooling
output switch in the ‘eco’ position - small dot on the
rotary button facing in the direction of ‘eco’ - see
fig. B) with a very high level of energy saving and
achieves an inside temperature of approx. 14° to
17 °C at an outside temperature of approx. 25 °C.
This corresponds to a Delta T (Delta T = difference
between outside temperature and inside tempera-
ture) of approx. 8 - 11 °C. The energy consumption
corresponds with this to the A++ energy class.
Since the inside temperature of a coolbox is influ-
enced by the particular ambient temperature, the
Delta T output in ‘eco mode’ is always 8 - 11 °C at
other outside temperatures. You can control the
inside temperature by turning the cooling output
switch:
Turn the cooling output switch clockwise in the
direction of “MAX”. This gives you a lower
(colder) inside temperature value.
Turn the cooling output switch anti-clockwise in
the direction of “OFF”. This gives you a higher
(warmer) inside temperature value.
Turn the cooling output switch to the “OFF”
position. This turns the coolbox off.
Note: If you want to reach a Delta T (Delta T =
difference between outside temperature and inside
temperature) of up to 17 °C and thereby a lower
inside temperature than is possible in the “eco”
normal operation, turn the cooling output switch to
the “MAX” position. Please note that in this case
more energy will be consumed than in normal
operation.
