5 Technical description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze them. A low
maintenance refrigerant circuit with compressor provides the cooling.
The cooler is portable.
For use in vehicles, the cooling device can be secured with a safety belt.
The cooler can withstand a short term inclination of 30°, for example on boats.
An integrated battery monitor can be switched on to protect your vehicle battery
from discharging to dangerously low levels (see chapter “Using the battery monitor”
on page 13).

The cooling device is equipped with an LED interior light that remains on when the
voltage is applied. The energy consumption of the LED interior light is extremely low
and is negligible compared to the total energy consumption of the device.
6.1 Before initial use
NOTE
I
6.2 Energy saving tips
•
Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
Before starting your new cooler for the first time, you should clean it
inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see also
chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 16).
•
Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.
•
Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
•
Do not leave the lid open for longer than necessary.
•
Defrost the cooling device as soon as a layer of ice forms.
•
Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.
6.3 Latching the lid
➤ Close the lid.
➤ Press the latch (fig. 3 1,page 9) down, until it latches in place audibly.

➤ Place the cooler on a firm base.
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered and that the heated air can be
dissipated.
Using the fused DC plug
A
Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the battery
before you connect the battery to a quick charging device.
•
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
For protection of the device the DC cable supplied includes a fuse inside
the plug. Do not remove the fused DC plug.
Only use the DC cable supplied.
NOTE

EN
CoolFreeze Operation
➤ Plug the DC connection cable (fig. 4 2, page 10) into the DC power supply inlet
of the cooler (fig. 2 3, page 8).
➤ Connect the DC connection cable to a DC power outlet.
Connecting to an AC power supply (e.g. at home or in the office)
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
•
D
The cooling device has a built-in multi-voltage mains adapter with a priority circuit for
connecting to an AC voltage source. The priority circuit automatically switches to
mains operation if the appliance is connected to an AC power suply, even if the DC
connection cable is still connected.
Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
•
If you are operating your cooler on board a boat with an AC power
supply, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the
power supply and the cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
➤ Plug the AC connection cable (fig. 4 3, page 10) into the AC power supply inlet
of the cooler (fig. 2 1, page 8).
➤ Connect the AC connection cable to the AC power outlet.
6.5 Secure the cooling device in the vehicle
➤ Open the lid of the cooling device.
➤ Place the safety strap into the guide (fig. 4 1, page 10) of the cooling device.
➤ Close the lid.
➤ Engage the safety strap and tighten it.

Operation CoolFreeze
6.6 Switch on the cooling device
See fig. 1, page 7
NOTICE! Risk of damage!
•
A
For safety reasons, the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent the
polarity being reversed.This protects the cooler against reversed polarity when
connecting to a battery and against short circuiting.
Always ensure sufficient ventilation so that the heat generated during
operation can dissipate. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not
covered. Make sure that the device is sufficiently far away from walls
and other objects so that the air can circulate.
•
Ensure that the items placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling to
the selected temperature.
•
Disconnect the cooler and other electric consumers from the battery
before you connect the battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
➤ Press the ON/OFF button (1) for three seconds.
✓ The “POWER” LED (2) is lit green.
Once the cooling device has reached the set temperature, the LED lights up
orange.
✓ The display (5) switches on and shows the current interior temperature.
✓ The cooler starts cooling the interior.
6.7 Setting the temperature
See fig. 1, page 7
➤ Press the “SET” (4) button once.
➤ Use the “+” (6) and “–” (7) buttons to set the cooling temperature.
✓ The set cooling temperature then appears in the display for a few seconds. The
display flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.

6.8 Selecting the temperature unit
See fig. 1, page 7
You can switch the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit. To do this,
proceed as follows:
➤ Switch on the cooler.
➤ Press the “SET” button (4) twice.
➤ Use the “+” (6) or “–” (7) buttons to set the temperature unit °Celsius or
°Fahrenheit.
✓ The selected temperature units then appear in the display for a few seconds. The
display flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.
6.9 Using the battery monitor
NOTICE! Beware of damage
A
The cooling device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your
vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the device is connected to the
vehicle DC supply.
If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooler switches
off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below the set level. The cooler
will switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
I
When switched off by the battery monitor, the battery will no longer be
fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating electric consumers
without longer charging phases. Make sure that the battery is
recharged.
NOTE
When the cooling device is switched off by the battery monitor due to
low voltage, the display (fig. 1 5, page 7) switches off and the “Power”
LED (fig. 1 2, page 7) flashes orange.
In HIGH mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and
“MED” (see the following table).

This is how to select the battery monitor mode (fig. 1, page 7):
➤ Switch on the cooler.
➤ Press the “SET” button (4) three times.
➤ Use the “+” (6) and “–” (7) buttons to select the battery monitor mode.
✓ The selected mode then appears in the display for a few seconds. The display
flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.
NOTE
I
When the cooler is supplied by the starter battery, select the battery
monitor mode HIGH. When the cooler is connected to a supply battery,
the battery monitor mode LOW will suffice.
If you wish to operate the cooling device from the AC mains, set the
battery monitor to LOW.

CoolFreeze Operation
6.11 Defrosting the cooling device
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the evaporator. This
reduces the cooling capacity.
Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
NOTICE! Risk of damage to the device!
A
To defrost the cooling device, proceed as follows:
➤ Empty the contents.
➤ If necessary, put them in another cooling device to keep them chilled.
➤ Switch off the device.
➤ Leave the lid open.
Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to free objects frozen
onto the device.
➤ Wipe off the condensate.
6.12 Replacing the AC fuse
DANGER! Danger of electrocution!
Disconnect the connection cable before you replace the device fuse.
D
➤ Remove the connection cable.
➤ Pry out the fuse insert (fig. 2 2, page 8) with a screwdriver.
➤ Replace the defective fuse with a new one that has the same rating (T4AL 250 V).
➤ Press back the fuse insert into the housing.
