1 Instruction manual
4 Intended use
The cooler is suitable for cooling foodstuffs and making ice cubes in the tray
provided. The device is also suitable for camping.
Mobicool A35
Caution – When cooling perishable medicines!
If you wish to cool medicines, please check if the cooling capacity of the device
is suitable for the medicine in question.
The cooler has been designed for operation with a 12 VDC voltage source (e. g.
the cigarette lighter of a vehicle) or alternatively for operation with a mains
voltage of 220 – 240 V AC.
The cooler can be operated independently of a voltage supply with liquid gas
(LPG).
5 Technical description
The cooler is suitable for use when camping, on a patio, in the garden,
or anywhere where a 12 V DC power connection (such as the cigarette lighter in
a vehicle) or a 220 V – 240 V mains voltage is available. You can also operate
the cooler with liquid gas.
You can cool goods to up to 25˚C below ambient temperature.
The device cools with a maintenance-free absorption circuit. Concentrated
ammoniac solution is heated in a boiler and then driven out in gaseous form.
The gas which is subjected to high pressure, is liquefied in a condenser and then
evaporated by adding hydrogen. This removes heat from the cooling area.

6 Operating the cooler
Before starting your new cooler for the first time, you should clean it inside and
outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to “Cleaning
and maintenance” on page 11).
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.
6.1 Energy saving tips
• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct
sunlight.
• Allow food to cool down first before placing it in the device.
• Do not open the cooler more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the lid open for longer than necessary.
• Arrange the food in the cooler so that air can circulate inside.
6.2 Using the cooler
Cool the cooler for about 24 hours before starting your journey using gas or
electricity from the mains. This way your cooler will attain the required cooling
capacity faster when you reach your destination.
The cooling capacity can be influenced by:
– The ambient temperature
– The amount of food to be conserved
– The frequency with which the lid is opened.
➤ Place the cooler on a firm and level base.
Check the horizontal position (±2˚) with a spirit level if necessary.
➤ Open the lid of the control panel ( 2 1, page 4) by pressing down on it.
Press down on the lid again to close it.
Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling to the
selected temperature.
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated.
Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass containers.
Connecting to 220 V – 240 V
Check that the voltage specification on the type plate corresponds to that of the
energy supply.
➤ Plug the earthed plug into a properly installed safety plug socket.
➤ Set the thermostat control ( 2 2, page 4) to “MAX”.
➤ Wait until the temperature in the cooler has dropped.
➤ Set the thermostat control ( 2 2, page 4) to the desired temperature range.
