2. Safety instructions
•
Always ensure that the selected power source is suitable for operating the cooler (see technical data on the rating plate).
•
Only use and transport the cooler in an upright position. An angle of up to 30° is permissible.
•
Ensure that all connection cables are firmly attached. Only unplug the connection by pulling on the plug itself, not on the
cables.
•
Ensure that ventilation slits are free of dirt and that the refrigeration unit has adequate ventilation.
•
Never operate the unit with defective connecting cables.
•
Prevent hard or sharp objects from entering the ventilation slits.
•
Protect the electric cooler from rain, moisture and spray water.
•
Do not allow children to operate the unit unsupervised.
•
Never open the cooling circuit.
•
Never touch bare electric wires or contacts.
•
When operating the unit on an AC power source, always be sure that the power source is protected with an earth-fault switch.
•
Disconnect the unit from the power source when it is not to be used for longer periods of time.
•
When disposing of this appliance, make sure it is unusable. Pull the plug and cut through the cord. Remove or destroy any dead-
bolt or snap locks. Thus you can prevent children from locking themselves in and endangering their lives at play. Refrigerators and
freezers contain insulating gases and refrigerants which require professional disposal. They also contain valuable materials which
should be recycled. For this reason, please let your municipal waste disposal authority dispose of them. If you have any questions,
please ask your municipal administration or your dealer. Please ensure that the pipes in your refrigerator are not damaged before
it is hauled away to be disposed of in a professional, environmentally compatible manner.
3. Set-up and cleaning
3.1 Set-up
Place the unit on a solid floor or an appropriate surface where adequate inlet and outlet ventilation is ensured.
A location in direct sunlight or in the immediate vicinity of heat sources, e.g. heaters, should be avoided. The cooler should be set up
such that it is protected from rain and spray water.
3.2. Cleaning
Please wipe out the cooler's containers with a moist cloth prior to the unit's first usage. Never use abrasive or caustic agents. Wipe
the cleaned surfaces dry with a soft cloth. Use only clear water to clean the lid's seal. Rub talcum powder onto this seal from time
to time.
Please be careful that water does not penetrate into the electronics located behind the ventilation grille.
Useful advice:
Do not put open vessels of liquids directly into the cooler but rather always use the cool-space only to cool closed containers such
as bottles, packaged products and so on.
4. Operation on an AC power source (100-240 V)
The 777980 cooler (35-liter capacity, DC 12/24/AC100-240 V), 778080 (45-liter capacity, DC12/24/AC100-240 V), 778780 (60-liter
capacity, DC12/24/AC100-240 V) and 778880 (80-liter capacity, DC12/24/AC100-240 V) can not only be run on a vehicle electrical
system (12/24 V), but also on an 100-240 V alternating current system.
Before you make the connection and start the unit, please check that line supply voltage meets unit operating voltage requirements
as specified by the unit's rating plate.
If the voltage is permissible, plug the earthed plug into a properly installed, earthed safety outlet. An adapter may be necessary in
some foreign countries where the format of standard outlets are different.
The unit has an internal priority circuit. If both an AC cable connection and a DC cable connection are detected, the unit will switch
over to operate from the AC power source to prevent the battery from discharging unnecessarily. This switch-over process may take
as long as 3 minutes.
5. Operation on a vehicle's battery (12 V or 24 V)
Please check whether battery voltage meets the requirements specified on the cooler's rating plate. Check to see that the power
source is at least fuse-protected at 15 A (12 V) or 7.5 A (24 V).
If these conditions are met, please use the 12 V/24 V cable provided with the cooler to make the connection at the rear-side of the
cooler; insert the cable's plug into the vehicle's electric outlet or the cigarette lighter socket.
The built-in battery monitor will ensure that battery voltage does not drop below a certain minimum value when the vehicle's
motor is not running.
When power is supplied from a starter battery, the “high” position is recommended.
The following values are based on the compressor's connections and do not account for any voltage drop in connecting lines:
