NOTICE!
Do not use electrical devices inside the cooler unless they are
recommended by the manufacturer for the purpose.
Do not place the device near naked flames or other heat
sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).
Danger of overheating!
Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the
heat that arises during operation does not build up. Make sure
that the device is sufficiently far away from walls and other
objects so that the air can circulate.
Ensure that the ventilation openings are not covered.
Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.
Never immerse the device in water.
Protect the device and the cable against heat and moisture.

5 Technical description
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.
6 Operation
I
NOTE
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 23).
6.1 Tips to save energy
I
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.
Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against
direct sunlight.
If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling
capacity for the cooler unit, use the cooler’s ECO mode.
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 cooler unit open for longer than necessary.
The cooling box is suitable for mobile use. It can cool goods up to max.

The TC-35US cooler must be unlocked for opening (fig. 4, page 3).
6.3 Switch on the cooling box
A
NOTICE!
Take care that there are only objects or goods in the cooling box
which may be cooled or heated to the selected temperature.
➤ Place the cooling box on a stable base.
I
NOTE
The plug is safe against wrong polarity: You can plug it only in one
direction into the (fig. 3, page 3) socket.
➤ Connect the cooling box
– with the connecting cable contained in the scope of delivery to a 120V
– with the supplied connecting cable to the 12/24 V socket in the vehicle
(fig. 3, page 3).
➤ 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.
6.4 Switch 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).
I
NOTE
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.
