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.

z Only use cables with the corresponding cable cross section

(see the table on page 10).

3 Scope of delivery

4 Intended use

The cooler is suitable for cooling and freezing foodstuffs.

The device is also suitable for camping.

If you wish to cool medicines, please check if the cooling capacity of the

device is suitable for the medicine in question.

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.

Operating the cooler A-40 DC/AC

10

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.
