1. Starting and Cleaning

1.1 Installation

Place the cooler rmly on the ground or use an appropriate base. Position

the appliance by means of the level indicator situated next to the controls.

When the small bubble is visible in the medium ring the cooler is placed in

the exact horizontal position (Fig. 1).

The minimum distance between the rear of the cooler to a wall must be 10cm

in order to guarantee sufcient ventilation. Avoid placing the cooler in direct

sunlight or close to any source of heat. Never cover the ventilation slots on

the upper side of the cooler in order to guarantee good air ventilation. This is

important for achieving best cooling performance.

1.2 Cleaning

Before rst use, after defrosting or following a long period of non-use, clean the cooling compartment and the lid with

lukewarm soapy water. Do not use any abrasive detergents. Dry the surface after cleaning. The gasket of the lid should only

be cleaned with clean water. For best results keep fridge and apertures clean and dry at all times.

Useful Hints:

Do not pour/put any liquids directly into the cooling compartment but store all food and beverages in closed containers and

bottles.

2. Operation with 230V AC mains supply

Before connection and operation verify that the mains voltage corresponds

to the operating voltage of the cooler specied on the ratings label at the

back of the appliance.

If the electrical specications are correct, plug the safety connector into the

back of the cooler and the 3-pin BS plug into an earthed wall socket, which is

wired according to the ruling regulations (Fig. 2).

Under the small ap on the top of the cooler are two knobs. The left knob

with the marking ‘Min Cold’ and ‘Max Cold’ serves for switching on the unit

when operating with 230V mains supply.

Turn the knob clockwise to position ‘Max Cold’. After about one hour the

cooling effect becomes noticeable and the temperature can then be adjusted

by means of the thermostat knob (Fig. 3).

At rst use leave the thermostat knob for approx. 5 hours at the ‘Max Cold’

position, afterwards set the temperature at a medium/interim level.

At ‘Min Cold’ position cooling function is turned off.

For turning off the appliance completely disconnect the plug from the wall

socket.

3. Operation with 12V DC supply

A safety fuse must be installed in the power supply between the battery and

the cooler (for 12V max. 15A).

Before use verify if the voltage of the battery complies with the voltage

indicated on the rating label on the back of the cooler. If the electrical

specications are correct plug the 12V connection cable into the back of the

cooler and then into the 12V socket/cigarette lighter of your vehicle (Fig. 4).

When the cooler is powered by a car battery, only switch the cooler on while

the car is running. If the appliance remains switched on when the car is

stopped, the battery will be discharged and it may be impossible to restart

the engine.

When operating at 12V the temperature cannot be regulated by the

thermostat knobs. For switching off the cooler disconnect the 12V

plug from the socket.

Useful Hints:

It is recommended to pre-cool the cooler before starting a journey on mains supply and to put only pre-cooled goods inside.

This guarantees a more efcient cooling performance.

4. Operation with Gas

When connecting the cooler with gas do not use any other energy source at

the same time (230V mains supply or 12V DC supply).

It is not allowed to connect natural gas or town gas; it is only suitable for

Butane/Propane gas.

The rating label on the back of the cooler indicates the gas pressure in mbar.

An appropriate regulator has to be installed between gas bottle and cooler.

Before connecting the cooler to the gas bottle make sure that the valve of

the gas bottle is closed. Always use an approved gas hose required by the

national conditions. The exible hose connecting the appliance to the gas

container is to be no longer than 1.5m (regulator and hose are not supplied)

(Fig. 5). Ensure the position of the hose ensures it is not subject to twisting.

Should the National conditions require it then the type of connecting hose

must be changed to ensure compliance with such local regulations.

Only connect the cooler to a gas bottle in well-ventilated areas, away from

inammable material. Stay away from heat sources and open ames. Do not

obstruct the ventilation opening of the container compartment. Precautions

should be taken to ensure when changing the gas container, that it shall be

carried out away from a source of ignition. Precautions shall be taken to

comply with national regulations relating to the operation of gas appliances

whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Check the tightness of the connections with soapy water. In the case of soap

bubbles appearing after opening the valve of the gas bottle, do not operate

the cooler. Only use the gas bottle standing upright and at least 1 metre away

from the burner.

Under the small ap on top of the cooler are two knobs. The right knob with

the marking ‘Press’ and ‘Max’ serves for switching on the unit when operating

on gas.

This control knob is a combination of ignition and temperature control

(Fig. 6).

Open the valve of the gas bottle, push in the right hand control knob on

the cooler and keep it pushed for approx. 20 seconds (in order to get the

air inside the gas system removed). With the button still pushed in turn the

knob anti-clockwise to the max position to to get the gas ame ignited by a

spark.

Make sure that a ame is visible at the burner (Fig. 7), wait for another 15

seconds until the red needle on the gas gauge is visible and then release the

knob (Fig. 8).

It is possible that this procedure needs to be repeated a couple of times,

especially when the cooler has not been in use for a long period of time.

Wait some minutes between every ignition. The cooler is equipped with

a safety pilot. In case the ame goes out the gas supply will be stopped

automatically.

For switching off close rst the valve of the gas bottle and then turn the gas

control knob off by turning it clockwise as far as it will go.

Useful Hints: Put food and beverages in an appropriate container inside the

cooler and store them in a way so that the air can circulate freely. Do not put

warm or hot food and beverages inside the cooler.

5. Maintenance and Storage

The build-up of ice inside the cooler decreases the cooling performance. To remove the ice do not use any sharp objects but

switch off the cooler and defrost it. It is recommended to defrost the cooler regularly. In case the appliance is not in use for

a long period of time, disconnect from any source of power or gas and leave the lid slightly open in order to let air circulate

inside the cooling compartment.

A handy tip: If after such a period the cooler does not cool down, switch off again leave it turned upside down. Make sure

that the connection cables are disconnected. After 2 to 3 hours put it upright again, re-connect and switch on. If there still

should not be any cooling function repeat this procedure.

Important Hint: Maintenance and repairs, especially on the cooling aggregate and on the gas burner can only be done by

qualied service engineers.
