Do not store explosive materials, such as aerosol cans with flammable
propellant, in this device.
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

Do not touch the plug with wet or sweaty hands.
If the power cable of the appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service department or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazards.
Never hold the cord to pull the plug from the 12 V socket.
Always pull the plug out of the electric socket before cleaning and when
you are finished using the appliance.
Before starting the appliance, make sure that the cord and the plug are
dry.
Do not put the appliance in the immediate vicinity of open flames or
other sources of heat.
WARNING! DANGER OF OVERHEATING! Be sure that the ventilation
slots are not covered and that the heat generated when the appliance
is running can escape adequately. Make sure that there is enough
room between the appliance and the wall or other objects to allow air
to circulate freely.
Do not put liquids or ice directly into the inside compartment.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
Protect the appliance and the cord from heat and moisture.
When operating the cool box on 12 V, make sure that the 12 V plug is
inserted firmly and securely in the cigarette lighter socket and that
the socket is clean. If there is insufficient contact between the plug and
the socket, the vibration of the vehicle could result in the current supply
intermittently switching on and off, causing the cool box to overheat.
ATTENTION! RISK OF BURNS! Following removal of the 12 V
connector from the socket, avoid direct contact between the plug tips
and skin or other temperature sensitive materials as the plug tips may
become very hot during operation.
The manufacturer shall assume no liability for damages caused by
improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance must not be exposed to rain.
Proper use
The electric coolbox is to be used solely for cooling pre-cooled food and
drinks. The appliance is intended for private domestic or camping use,
or for use in the car and in other similar applications such as for
example: in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other workplaces,
by guests in hotels, motels and other accommodation, and in bed and
breakfast guest houses as well as in catering and similar wholesale
outlets. The appliance is not intended for commercial use.
General instructions on using the appliance
The cooler is not intended to run constantly. Ice can form on the
aluminum radiator. We recommend switching off the appliance after it
has been running for six days. You can then restart the appliance two
hours later.
Dry the surfaces of the items you wish to keep cool to keep water from
condensing.
If you are using a 12 V source of electricity, make sure that the power
supply to the cooler is not interrupted if you should switch the car
engine on and off frequently, and that the car‘s battery does not run
down too much when the engine is switched off.
Operation
Before starting the cooler, we recommend washing it out inside with a
damp cloth for reasons of hygiene (see also the chapter on Care and
Cleaning).
Set the cooler down on a solid, level surface. Connect the 12 V
connecting cord to a 12 V source of power (car cigarette lighter).
The cooler immediately begins cooling the interior compartment. It
does not switch off automatically when a minimum temperature is
reached. The refrigerating unit keeps running as long as the cooler is
hooked up to a source of electricity.
Tips for achieving the best cooling performance
Choose a place that is well ventilated and shielded from the sun‘s ray.
Only put pre-chilled items in the cooler.
