Operation
∙ Open right-hand cover on the lid by
turning it.
∙ Ensure that both switches are in the
Off-position.
∙ Connect the 12 V plug to a 12 V
cigarette lighter socket; or insert the
mains plug into a suitable wall outlet.
∙ Set the left switch to COLD or HOT.
∙ Set the right switch to the desired power
mode ECO or MAX.
∙ The appropriate indicator light will come
on.
∙ Close the right-hand cover, ensuring that
the cable being used runs through the
guide in the cover. Place the items to be
cooled into the cool-box.
∙ When not being used, the cool-box
should always be switched off, and
the cable disconnected from its power
source.
∙ Do not change directly from one
operating mode to another. Always wait
30 minutes before doing so.
Hints
Cooling
To achieve optimum cooling, the cool-box
should be filled with pre-chilled food and/
or beverages.
With warm or non-chilled food and
beverages, the cooling process will take
considerably longer.

Keeping warm
Using the keep-warm function, food and
beverages may be kept warm. Again,
warming up cold food and beverages will
take some considerable time.
12 V connection:
If the cool box is connected to a car battery,
but with the engine switched off, do not
allow it to over-discharge (unless there is
a deep-discharge protection). With the
engine running, the cool-box may be left
connected for an unlimited time.
Lid
To prevent unnecessary heat loss, open
the lid as little as possible and shut it again
as soon as you can.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning, remove the plug
from the wall socket and wait until the
appliance has completely cooled down.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ The lid is removable for easy cleaning
- lift it up to about 45° and then pull it
off of its hinges. Replace the lid after
cleaning.
∙ The lid may be wiped with a slightly
moist cloth. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
∙ If necessary, the cool-box may be
cleaned with a moist cloth using a little
mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards.
