6. Initial Operation

Check for damage prior to commissioning. A
damaged device may not be put into
operation.
Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency stated on
the type plate match your power supply.
Connection to mains power: Always install an
RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA
upstream.
We recommend cleaning the cooling box before
first time use, see chapter 8.
6.1 Setting up
WARNING: When setting up the unit, make
sure that the power cord is not pinched or
damaged.
WARNING: Do not position outlets on the
back of the housing. Mains plugs must always
be easily accessible.
6.2 Power supply / power connection
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (14) before use. Recharge
the battery pack if performance diminishes.
The ideal storage temperature for battery packs is
between 10°C and 30°C.
In case of Li-Ion battery packs with capacity and
signal display (13) (equipment-specific):
- Press the button (12), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Removal:
Press the battery pack release (11) button and
remove the battery pack.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (14) until it engages.
Supply voltage 12 Volt
Take the connection cable out of the cable storage
(1), unwind it completely and plug it into a suitable
12 Volt cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle.
Some cigarette lighter sockets supply power
even when the vehicle engine is switched off.
A cooler that is left on could drain your vehicle's
battery to the point that the engine will not start.
Unplug the cooler when leaving the vehicle.
Connection to Power Mains
Take the mains connection cable out of the cable
storage (2), unwind it completely and plug it into a
suitable mains power outlet.

maximum operating time is 6 days. When the
maximum operating time is reached, switch off the
device for at least 2 hours.
