6.1. Features
Surge protection / short circuit-protection
If the input voltage is over 15 V, the appliance
automatically switches off and then back on once the
voltage drops below 15 V. If the appliance does not
automatically start, check the fuse in the 12 V
cigarette lighter plug and replace it, if necessary).
Undervoltage protection (protection of the
vehicle battery)
If the input voltage is at 10.5 V, an alarm signal
sounds. If the input voltage drops below approx. 10 V,
the appliance switches off. The appliance can be
switched on again as soon as the vehicle battery is
recharged.
Overheating guard
As soon as a temperature of approx. 55°C is reached,
the red LED lights up and the appliance switches off
automatically. After the appliance has cooled down to
the start-up temperature, it will automatically switch
on. In environments with a temperature of more than
40°C, the overheating protection could be triggered
because the appliance warms itself up.
Green LED
As soon as the appliance is ready for operation, the
green LED is lit up.
Red LED
If the vehicle battery is undervoltaged, if there is an
incorrect connection, a short circuit or other error, the
red LED lights up.
Acoustic alarm
If the vehicle battery is undervoltaged, if there is an
incorrect connection, a short circuit or other error, a
warning signal sounds.
6.2 Assembly
There is no assembly necessary. Because of its
special shape, the voltage transformer is suited to
being positioned in the drinks holder in a vehicle. The
appliance can be operated both horizontally and
vertically. Observe the safety instructions listed under
Point 1.
6.3 Connection
Important. If the positive pole of the vehicle battery is
connected to the vehicle chassis, the voltage
transformer must not be used and should not be
started up.
Before operation, make sure the connections to the
vehicle battery are secured
Switch the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" (0).
Take the cold cigarette lighter plug out of the

cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle.
Insert the 12 V plug from the voltage transformer
into the cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle.
Make sure that a 230 V consumer is not
connected when doing so.
Plug the 230 V consumer into the socket of the
voltage transformer.

7. Operation

7.1 Switching the voltage transformer ON / OFF
To switch ON, push the ON/OFF switch into
position "ON" (I). The green LED lights up, the
appliance is switched on and ready for operation.
If the 12 V input voltage is interrupted during
operation, restart the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF switch.
To switch OFF, push the ON/OFF switch into
position OFF (0). The green LED is not lit, the
appliance is switched off.

7.2 Switching off in case of error

Under the following circumstances the voltage
transformer automatically switches off:
Input voltage is lower than 10-10.5 V
Input voltage rises above 15 V
The appliance overheats.
In these situations, switch OFF the appliance using
the ON/OFF switch and remove the attached 230 V
consumer. Check whether all of the ventilation
openings on the voltage transformer are clear and
switch the voltage transformer back on after about 10
minutes waiting time.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare
parts
Before carrying out work on the appliance, cut out the
(12V) electrical power supply.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the appliance with a clean cloth or blast it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the appliance
immediately after you use it.
Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the
plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the appliance.
