WARNINGS
•
Before use, check that the cables, plugs and casings are
undamaged. DO NOT use if any parts are damaged or worn.
•
DO NOT use in the rain, or other wet or damp
conditions. DO NOT handle if your hands are wet.
•
DO NOT obstruct the air flow to the unit. The
ventilation slots must be kept clear for the unit to work
properly and prevent dangerous overheating.
•
DO NOT place the unit in direct sunlight or an enclosed space where
ventilation is restricted, or where there are other heat sources.
•
Avoid using in areas where the supply cables may
become a trip hazard and DO NOT sit or stand on it.
•
As with all electrical equipment, keep away
from children and animals.
•
Only use with a 12/24V DC (negative earth) or a 230-240V
AC electric supply. When using a 230-240V AC mains electric
supply it is advisable to use a residual current device (RCD).
•
When using the coolbox with the 12/24V DC supply, the
plug will become warm during use. Ensure that the vehicle
socket is clean and clear of debris, and the electrical
contact is good to avoid the plug/socket overheating.
•
T ake care when removing the plug from the 12/24V DC socket
and DO NOT touch the metal contacts which may be hot.
•
Unwind the supply cable fully before use. DO NOT use whilst this
cable is coiled or folded as this can cause overheating of the cable.
•
This coolbox is intended for keeping foodstuffs cool. It is not
recommended or intended for medicines or chemical storage.
•
This coolbox is intended for temporary in-vehicle, camping,
caravanning and leisure use. It is not a fridge or cooker designed
for permanent installation and should not be used as such.
•
NEVER fill the unit with water or ice. DO
NOT immerse the unit in water.
•
Ensure the vehicle’s engine is running before the 12V
DC plug is connected. This will avoid power surges
which could potentially damage the coolbox.
•
Disconnect the unit whilst the vehicle’s engine is
not running to prevent the vehicle battery becoming
excessively drained or flat. When the vehicle is running,
the alternator should provide enough power.
•
To maximise the cooling or warming effect after the
unit is disconnected, keep the lid closed.
•
Take care when manoeuvring or lifting the coolbox
as it may be heavy when fully loaded. Only lift if it
is within your own physical capabilities.
•
NEVER pull the plug out of the 12V socket using the
cable, or pull on the cable to manoeuvre the coolbox.
USE & OPERATION
GENERAL SET UP
1. Load the coolbox with your food and drink in suitable containers.
To obtain the best performance from your coolbox, it is
recommended that these items are already cold. The addition of
any substantial amount of food at room temperature will slow the
cooling performance.
2. Select the power supply according to your requirements.
There are two power options:
1. 12/24V DC (negative earth) plug and power cord for use
in a vehicle.
Note: The vehicle ignition may have to be turned on to
supply the coolbox with power.
2. 230-240V AC three pin mains plug for use in the home
or camp site.
When the coolbox is connected to a mains supply, it can be
operated in two modes:
ECO mode where the cool box consumes less energy,
select the dial range between MIN to ECO.
MAX mode where the coolbox is set to maximum cooling.
The cooling control knob is located inside the cable storage
compartment.
To increase the cooling, turn the cooling control knob clockwise
towards MAX.
To decrease the cooling, turn the cooling control knob counter
clockwise towards MIN.
Note: When the coolbox is connected to a 12V/24V DC socket,
it cools at the maximum setting and the cooling cannot be adjusted.
3. Ensure the unit is in a position in the vehicle where it cannot fall over
easily. If using the coolbox outside of the vehicle, place it on a firm,
flat surface in the desired location. Use the fold out handles and
wheels to pull along, manoeuvre and lift.
4. Fully extend the power cable required and plug in.
5. The cooling performance is similar to that of a household fridge
(NOT a freezer).
The temperature inside the coolbox will be lowered to about 16°C
below that of the surrounding (ambient) air.
6. After use, disconnect the electrical supply. This appliance can be
used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
CLEANING & STORAGE
1. Switch the unit to OFF and disconnect the electrical supply cable.
2. Carefully fold up the cable and store in the convenient cable storage
compartment provided.
3. The coolbox surfaces can be wiped clean using a cloth with mild
detergent solution.
4. The coolbox should not be cleaned using running water or by
immersing in water. Abrasive cleaning materials should also be
avoided.
5. When not in use the coolbox lid should be left ajar to prevent
mould growth.
