z Do not place the device near naked flames or other heat
sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).
z Danger of overheating!
Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the
heat that arises during operation does not build up. Make sure
that the device is sufficiently far away from walls and other
objects so that the air can circulate.
z Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
z Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluid.
z Never immerse the device in water.
z Protect the device and the cable against heat and moisture.
z Keep to the following distances:
a gap of at least 10 cm at the rear
a gap of at least 5 cm on either side
2.3 Operating the device safely with 12 Vg
A
NOTICE!
z The cable between the battery and the cooler must be protected
by a fuse of max. 15 A.

Technical description A-40 DC/AC
8
The cooler has been designed for operation with a 12 Vg voltage
source (e. g. the cigarette lighter of a vehicle) or alternatively for
operation with a mains voltage of 220 – 240 Vw.
5 Technical description
The cooler is suitable for use when camping, on a patio, in the garden, or
anywhere where a 12 Vg power connection (such as the cigarette lighter in
a vehicle) or a 220 V – 240 V mains voltage is available.
You can cool goods to up to 25 °C below ambient temperature.
The device cools with a maintenance-free absorber 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 warmth in the cooling
area.
6 Operating the cooler
!
CAUTION!
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
I
NOTE
z 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 the chapter “Cleaning and mainte-
nance” on page 11).
z A few water drops may form inside the cooler if it has been cool-
ing for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in
the air condenses to water when the temperature in the cooler
falls. The cooler is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if
necessary.
6.1 Energy saving tips
z Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against
direct sunlight.
z Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep
cool.
z Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.

z Do not leave the cooler unit open for longer than necessary.
z Arrange the food in the cooler so that air can circulate inside.
6.2 Using the cooler
A
NOTICE!
z Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler are suitable for cool-
ing to the selected temperature.
z Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not exces-
sively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can
thus destroy the glass containers.
I
NOTE
z Cool the cooler for about 24 hours before starting your journey.
This way your cooler will attain the required cooling capacity
faster when you reach your destination.
z 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.
z The device may give off a smell for a short time when it is first
operated.
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 (fig. 2 1, page 3) by pressing down on it.
Press down on the lid again to close it.
I
NOTE
The further you turn the thermostat control (fig. 2 2, page 3) to-
wards “MAX”, the lower the refrigerating temperature.

Connecting to 220 V – 240 V
A
NOTICE!
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 (fig. 2 2, page 3) to “MAX”.
Wait until the temperature in the cooler has dropped.
Set the thermostat control (fig. 2 2, page 3) to the desired temperature
range.
“MIN” corresponds to the lowest cooling power. “MAX” corresponds to
the highest cooling power.
To switch off the cooler, set the thermostat control (fig. 2 2, page 3) to
“0” and pull out the plug.
Connecting to 12 Vg
I
NOTE
z You cannot set the temperature with the thermostat control dur-
ing battery operation. The device is simply switched on by con-
nection to a 12 V power source and starts cooling.
z Disconnect the cooler from the battery when the engine is not
running as otherwise the battery will be completely run down.
Make sure that the cable from the battery to the cooler is protected by
a fuse (max. 15 A).
Select a cable cross section for the cable between the battery and the
socket of the 12 V voltage supply in accordance with the following table:
Make sure that the thermostat control for 220 V – 240 V operation
(fig. 2 2, page 3) is in the “0” position.
Insert the plug of the connection cable into the 12 V socket
(e.g. cigarette lighter).
The polarity cannot be reversed.
To switch off the cooler, pull the plug out of the socket.

A-40 DC/AC Cleaning and maintenance
11
Defrosting the cooler
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooler. This reduces the cooling
capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A
NOTICE!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
To defrost the cooler, proceed as follows:
Take out the contents of the cooler.
Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary.
Switch the cooler off.
Leave the cover open.
When everything has defrosted, empty the cooler and wipe it out.
Switching off and storing the cooler
If you do not intend to use the cooler for a long time, proceed as follows:
Switch the cooler off.
Disconnect the power supply.
Clean the cooler (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 11).
Leave the cover slightly open.
This prevents odours from building up.
7 Cleaning and maintenance
!
WARNING!
Always disconnect the device from the mains before you clean and
service it.
A
NOTICE! Risk of damage
z Never clean the cooler under running water or in dish water.
z Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during
cleaning as these can damage the cooler.
Occasionally clean the device interior and exterior with a damp cloth.

nected at the same time.
The cooler has not
been set up properly.
Check if the device is horizontal.
Check if the ventilation of the device
is sufficient.
The cooler has not
been filled properly.
Check if warm food has been put into

filled or packed too densely.
The refrigerant circuit
is defective.
This can only be repaired by an authorised
