6. Operation
6.1 "Mode" Switch (Fig. 8)
Cooling
Slide the "Mode" function switch (Item 9) to the left
(Item 10) to keep the contents cool.
Warming
Slide the "Mode" function switch (Item 9) to the
right (Item 11) to keep the contents warm.
Important! Switch the device off 30 minutes befo-
re you change the function.
6.2 Operation
Place the cool box on a sturdy surface (like the
ground). Do not cover the ventilation grille.
The cool box power supply order of priority is
230 V -> 12 V -> 18 V Power X-Change battery.
Therefore, you can run the device on 230 V with
an 18-V battery also inserted. If you disconnect
the device from the 230-V socket outlet, it will
automatically switch over to battery power after
about 10 seconds. When you plug the device
back into the 230-V power supply, it switches over
to mains power again. This also works with 12-V
power.
6.2.1 Mains power supply (230 V ~ 50 Hz)
Remove the power cable (Fig. 2 / Item 17)
from the front pocket and connect it to the AC
220 - 240 V socket (Fig. 2 / Item 15) at the rear
of the cool box. Turn the power controller (Fig. 8 /
Item 8) to the desired position.
6.2.2 12-V power supply
Note:
•
The cool box has integrated excess discharge
protection for the car battery.
•
On some vehicles, the ignition must be swit-
ched on in order to supply power to the cool
box.
•
When the engine is switched off, the connec-
ted cool box draws power from the vehicle
battery, discharging it. If the battery voltage
drops too low, you will no longer be able to
start the engine.
Remove the 12-V power cable (Fig. 2 / Item 18)
from the front pocket and connect it to the 12-V
DC socket (Fig. 2 / Item 16) at the rear of the cool
box. Turn the power controller (Fig. 8 / Item 8) to
the desired position.

6.2.3 18-V power supply
Push the Power X-Change battery into the battery
mount as described in "Fitting the battery". Turn
the power controller (Fig. 8 / Item 8) to the desired
position.
Battery capacity indicator on the cool box
The battery capacity indicator (Fig. 8 /Item 12)
shows the charge status of the battery using 3
LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED fl ashes
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
6.3 Power controller (Fig. 8 / Item 8)
Note: The power controller clicks audibly as soon
as the cool box is switched on or off .
a) "OFF" position: the cool box is switched off .
b) "ECO" position: the cool box consumes low
amounts of energy (minimum cooling or hea-
ting capacity).
c) "MAX" position: the cool box consumes the
most energy (maximum cooling or heating
capacity).
Turn the power controller knob toward the "MAX"
position to increase the cooling or heating capa-
city.
Turn the power controller knob toward the "ECO"
position to decrease the cooling or heating capa-
city.
In cooling mode, the interior temperature may
be up to 20 ºC lower than ambient temperature
(25 °C).
In heating mode, a maximum interior temperature
of 55°C +/-5°C can be achieved (at 25°C ambient
temperature).
6.4 Tips for saving energy
•
Do not leave the cool box in the sun in cooling
mode.
•
Use commercially available frozen cooling
elements for additional cooling or to speed up
the process.
•
Only place previously refrigerated food and
drinks into the cool box in cooling mode.
