iNStallatioN of the appliaNce
• Install the appliance on a firm, horizontal surface. To level the appliance,
use a spirit level or a vessel containing water, if necessary.
• Avoid installing the appliance in direct sunlight or near any source of heat.
• The distance between the rear of the appliance and a wall shall not be
less than 10 cm, and the minimum ventilating space from the sides of
the appliance shall never be less than 5 cm.
• In all cases, the location shall be protected from rain and splashing.
• To guarantee a good level of air circulation, do not obstruct the
ventilation grids of the upper, lower or rear surface of the appliance.
• Complying with the above will ensure efficient and economical cooling.
• Before the first use of the appliance, clean the inside and the cover of
the appliance with warm water, adding detergent if necessary. Never
use an abrasive product.
operatioN with the maiNS (230V)
• Never use another source of energy at the same time (battery, gas).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the operating voltage
specified on the label (on the rear of the appliance).
• If the electrical specifications are correct, push the safety electrical plug
into an earthed wall socket which is wired according to the specifications.
Start-up
• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the MAX position. The effects of
the cooling process (frost on the evaporator) only become visible after
about an hour.
• The thermostat enables the temperature of the cool box to be adjustable
(“0”=cooling process stopped).
• After a sufficient cooling period (approximately 5 hours), the
thermostat can be set to an intermediate position. The selected
temperature is regulated automatically by the thermostat.
Shut-down
• Turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise to the “0” position.
• Remove the plug from the wall outlet.
operatioN with a battery (12V)
• Do not use another source of energy at the same time (mains, gas).
• A safety fuse must be installed in the power supply line between the
battery and the cool box. For 12V, the maximum fuse rating is 6.25 amps.

• It is not necessary to check the polarity when starting up the appliance.
• Check that the battery voltage corresponds to the operating voltage of
the cool box, as marked on the corresponding the label.
• When the battery used is a car battery, only switch the cool box on
while the car is traveling. If the cool box is left running when the car is
stopped, this could discharge the battery and it may be impossible to
restart the engine.
• When the appliance is running on the battery, there is no thermostat-
controlled temperature regulation.
