Important Safeguards

Read all instructions carefully

before using your Iceless™.

Save these instructions for future reference.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury to persons
when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:

1. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or
Iceless™ in water or any other liquid.

2. Do not expose unit to rain. Electric shock could occur if this unit
is used on wet surfaces. Do not handle plug with wet hands.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.

4. Unplug Iceless™ from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning.

5. Use this product only for its intended use as described in this
manual. Only accessories or attachments recommended by Igloo
should be used.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to an authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.

7. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not remove any
service covers. Only authorized personnel should repair the
Iceless™.

Thermoelectric units cool like a refrigerator. If a cold drink or food is put into a cold refrigerator, it will stay
cold. But if a warm drink or food is put into a refrigerator, it will take time for the item to reach the lower
temperature desired. Likewise, the Iceless™ unit will always perform at its best when it is filled with food
or beverages which have been prechilled. For maximum cooling performance, plug in the thermoelectric
cooler and let it cool down for approximately 3 hours before filling it with food and beverages.

Iceless™ thermoelectric coolers do not have a thermostat, therefore it is normal for the units to run
continuously without shutting off at a predetermined temperature. This means that their cooling ability
is affected by the air temperature around them. For example, where a constant room temperature of
72ºF (22ºC) is maintained, the Iceless™ will cool to approximately 36ºF (2ºC). To ensure optimum cooling
performance, always keep your unit out of direct sunlight. Foods and beverages will continue to stay cool
after the Iceless™ is disconnected, but the food storage temperature will change over time to that of the
surrounding air.

Observe common-sense hygiene rules. Do not eat or drink perishable items that may have spoiled or
become contaminated as a result of improper temperature control.

It is normal for thermoelectric coolers to collect condensate inside the unit, especially when operated in
high ambient temperatures or humid environments. This is not a malfunction. Droplets can be wiped from
the unit with a dry, clean cloth.

Safety Precautions:

Failure to follow these precautions may result in fire, electrical
shock and/or injury to persons.

Iceless™ Cooler

1. Do not operate the Iceless™ outside of your vehicle, home or
office while connected to power. Keep the unit out of rain to
prevent water from entering the air vents and motors.

2. Never use extension cords with the Iceless™.

3. Use only the Iceless™ DC power cable with a DC power
source (vehicle 12V, such as cigarette lighter). Never attempt
to connect the Iceless™ to AC current without the use of the
optional Igloo AC converter. Use of non-approved DC cables
or AC converters may hinder the unit’s
performance and will void its warranty.

4. Do not use ice in the Iceless™ cooler.
Never fill the Iceless™ with liquids that
aren’t sealed in containers. If liquids
get into the fan and motors, they can
cause corrosion and impaired unit
performance.

5. Always ensure that the Iceless™ cooler
is operating in an area with adequate
ventilation. Never cover the air vents,
air intake or fan areas of the cooler
with any objects. Never operate the
Iceless™ in an enclosed area or car
trunk/boot. Never sit on the Iceless™
thermoelectric cooler.

6. Avoid contact with interior moving or metal parts while the
cooler is in use. Electrical shock or burns may result.

7. Always unplug the power source before cleaning.

8. Do not spray liquid cleaner, water or other substances into the
air vents.

9. Maintain the unit in a clean environment with good air flow.
Avoid pet hair, dirt or dust that may impair the unit’s operation
and void its warranty.

10. Do not place any part of the Iceless™ into a dishwasher.

11. Do not build the Iceless™ into a cabinet, counter or other area
unless adequate ventilation is available.

12. Always use proper lifting techniques when transporting the
Iceless™ filled with food and beverages. When possible,
empty contents from the Iceless™ before lifting or moving.

13. Avoid dropping the Iceless™ thermoelectric cooler, as this
could cause damage to the internal electronic components.

14. Caution - Hold lid when loading or unloading cooler or use

handle to prop lid open.

DC Operation

1. When operating in the DC mode, the Iceless™ will not
automatically shut off when the vehicle battery voltage is low.
This can drain a battery if left unattended for long periods of
time.

2. Do not operate the Iceless™ for more than two hours when
the vehicle engine is off. On average, these coolers draw
between 4.0 amps to 4.8 amps of electricity per hour. While
an average vehicle battery is rated at 48-60 amps/hr., age will
affect its performance. The unit can be operated continuously
while the vehicle is running.

3. If the engine is switched off for long periods (overnight), it is
important to unplug the Iceless™ from its power source to
avoid battery drain.

4. If the Iceless™ is run from a secondary battery, periodically
have the battery checked for available amps.

Power Cord/Plug

1. When turning off the Iceless™, never pull the cord to
disconnect from the power source. Always hold the plug – not
the cord – then gently pull to disconnect. Avoid touching the
tip of the DC plug, as it may be hot.

2. Do not cut the power cord or modify it in any way. Doing so
may cause fire or shock and will invalidate the warranty.

3. Only use the Igloo power cord supplied with the Iceless™.
Failure to do so may cause fire or shock and will invalidate the
warranty.

4. Should the 7.5-amp fuse in the DC cable require replacement:
unscrew the tip of the plug; remove the used fuse; insert the
new fuse; and reattach the tip of the plug. Never use greater
than an 7.5-amp fuse and ensure that the fuse is approved by
the appropriate electrical certification agencies in the country
of use. See fuse assembly diagram below.

5. Do not allow the cord to become tangled or crimped by heavy
objects.

6. To order replacement cords, go to www.igloocoolers.com.
