Never immerse the appliance in water. Doing so
could damage the electrical equipment.
When travelling by car, do not transport the
appliance in the passenger compartment.
When operating on 12 V, always be sure the 12 V
plug is firmly and securely connected inside the
cigarette lighter socket and the connector is clean.
Improper contact between the plug and socket
may result in the power supply frequently switch-
ing on and off due to vibration from the vehicle.
This can result in overheating.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages due to
improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance is not a freezer and is therefore
unsuited to freeze food.
Do not disassemble this appliance. In the event of
a malfunction, please contact the manufacturer or
visit the authorised specialist shop.
Do not expose this appliance to rain.
General information on use
Dry the surfaces of the items to be refrigerated to prevent condensation.
When operated via 12 V power source, be careful not to switch the car
engine on and off frequently so as not to constantly interrupt the power
supply to the appliance. Please also note the car battery may become
almost exhausted if the engine is off.
Operation
Due to the materials used, the inside of the appliance may emit an odour
typical for the product prior to first use. This odour is harmless, but for rea-
sons of hygiene we do recommend wiping the inside and outside of the ap-
pliance with a damp cloth (also see chapter „Cleaning and Care") prior to
first use. Further, do not store unpackaged foods in it.
Place the appliance on a firm and level surface.
Depending on the choice of power source, connect either the 12 V or the
230 V mains lead to the socket of the selected power source and set the
AC/DC switch
to the respective position.

Function with 230 V operation in „eco mode"
In normal operation (cooling output switch in the ‚eco' position (small dot on
the rotary knob points to ‚eco')) the mini refrigerator operates at maximum
energy efficiency, and at an ambient temperature of approx. 25°C the inside
will reach a temperature of approx. 14° to 17°C. This corresponds to a
Delta T (Delta T = difference between ambient temperature and internal
temperature) of approx. 8 - 11°C.
Since the specific ambient temperature affects the temperature inside a mini
refrigerator, the Delta T output in ‚eco mode' is also always 8 - 11°C in other

GB
ambient temperatures. The internal temperature can be controlled by turning
the cooling output switch:
Turn the cooling output switch
you a lower (colder) inside temperature.
Turn the cooling output switch
gives you a higher (warmer) inside temperature.
Turn the cooling output switch
the appliance off.
Note: For a temperature below 14 °C, turn the cooling output switch
clockwise toward „MAX". In this case the cooling unit will always produce a
temperature difference from the actual ambient temperature of approx. 17°
to 18 °C below the ambient temperature. Please note, the appliance will
then consume more energy than in normal operation!
Function in 12 V operation
ATTENTION! The temperature control at the back of the appliance is
only suitable for 230V operation and does not work in 12 V operation.
In 12 V operation the cooling unit always produces a temperature differ-
ence from the ambient temperature of up to 17° to 18°C. The cooling
output cannot be adjusted with the temperature control at the back of the
appliance.
Tips for the best cooling output
and energy saving
Select a location which is well ventilated and protected from sunshine.
In cooling mode, only place pre-chilled items in the appliance.
Do not open the appliance longer than necessary.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary.
Ensure the appliance is not packed too full and air can circulate
adequately between the contents.
If the appliance will not be used for extended periods, switch the
appliance off and unplug from power.
Cleaning and Care
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents to clean. Doing so may result in
property damage.
Always unplug the mains lead from the socket or the 12 V connection be-
fore cleaning. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
Be sure water or other liquids do not enter the vents.
Regularly dust the appliance.
Clean the appliance, always whilst switched off, using a damp cloth and
a mild soap solution (use common household cleaners).
