TCTechnical description
5Technical description
The cooling box is suitable for mobi le use. It can cool goods up to max. 30 °C (86 °F)
under ambient temperature (thermostatic switch-off with approx. 0°C (32°F)) or
keep them cool or warm them up to max. 65 °C (149 °F) or keep them warm.
If the device has reached the set temperature range, then it will automatically switch
over to the energy save mode. In this mode only the energy is consumed which is
required to reach the temperature inside the box.
The cooling is a wear-free thermo-electric cooler with heat removal through a
ventilator.
The cooling box is equipped with an automatic priority circuit. Thus it is ensured
that with simultaneous connection to the alternating current circuit and to a
12/24 V-battery, the alternating current circuit will be used.
6Operation
NOTE
I
6.1Tips to save energy
I
•Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct
sunlight.
Before you put the new refrigerator into operation, you should clean it
inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see also
chapter “Cleaning and servicing” on page 12).
NOTE
A ventilator in the interior space of the cooling box provides for the
circulation of the cold air within the box. Thus a better cooling capacity
will be achieved. In order that the cold air cannot reach the outside
when opening the cooling box, this is equipped with a switch which
turns off the ventilator as soon as the lid is opened.
•Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to
keep cool.
•Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
•Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary.

6.2TC35: Opening the cooler
The TC35 cooler must be unlocked for opening (fig. 4, page 3).
6.3Switch on the cooling box
NOTICE!
A
➤ Place the cooling box on a stable base.
I
➤ Connect the cooling box with the supplied connecting cable to the 12/24 V
socket in the vehicle (fig. 3, page 3).
Take care that there are only objects or goods in the cooling box which
may be cooled or heated to the selected temperature.
NOTE
The plug is safe against wrong polarity: You can plug it only in one
direction into the (fig. 3, page 3) socket.
➤ Press the button “ON/OFF” at the control panel (fig. 2 A, page 3) to switch on
the cooling box.
✓ The cooling box starts to cool or heat the interior space.

6.4Switch over between cooling and heating
➤ If you want to switch over between cooling and heating, press the button
“HOT/COLD” (fig. 2 D, page 3).
NOTE
I
✓ The red or blue operating display lights up and the device starts to cool/heat.
➤ When you want to finish the cooling or heating process, press the button
“ON/OFF” (fig. 2 A, page 3).
➤ When you stop using the cooler, disconnect it from the mains.
The control unit of the cooling box has a memory function. It memorises
the selected temperature range for each mode (cooling and heating).
Thus the temperature range which is previously selected in the mode is
set again with each switching on or switching over.
6.5Select temperature
The status display of the temperature (fig. 2 F, page 3) indicates the selected
temperature range. With an increasing number of illuminating LEDs, the intensity of
the temperature range also increases.

FaultPossible causeSuggestion
Your box does not
function and the fan
impeller which is visible
from outside does not
rotate.
The ignition is switched
on and the box does
not work.
Disconnect the plug
immediately from the
socket and execute the
following checks.
The cigarette lighter in
your vehicle does not
conduct any voltage.
The socket of the
cigarette lighter is
dirty. This results in a
poor electrical
contact.
The fuse of the
connecting cable is
burnt through.
The vehicle fuse is
burnt through.
In the most vehicles, the ignition switch
must be switched on, so that the cigarette
lighter has voltage.
Clean the socket of the cigarette lighter
with a non-metallic brush and a solvent,
so that the middle contact pin is clean. If
your cooling box plug becomes very
warm in the cigarette lighter box, either
the socket must be cleaned or the plug is
possibly not correctly assembled.
Replace the fuse of the connecting cable
(5 A).
Replace the vehicle fuse of the cigarette
lighter (usually 15 A). (Observe the
operating instructions in your motorcar
for this).
Your box does not cool
