TO OPERATE
1.
The cooling performance is similar to that of a household fridge (NOT a freezer).
2.
If the unit is operated continuously, it will lower the temperature inside to about 18°C below that of
the surrounding air.
3.
The best performance will be obtained if the unit is loaded with food and drinks that are already
cold.
4.
For best cold retention after disconnection, keep the lid tightly close.
ADVICE
1.
DO NOT block the air flow.
The unit must have a clear flow of air to remove excess heat in order to work effectively.
For best results:
Don’t operate in a confined space such as a car boot.
Don’t leave the unit in a sealed car or boot whilst in use.
2.
Shade the unit from direct sunlight and leave windows slightly open to allow for air circulation.
3.
The unit is designed for operation in vehicles with a negative earth. If your vehicle has a positive
earth terminal, the cigarette lighter end of the adaptor must be rewired by a competent electrician.
4.
Ice-cream should not be refrozen after storage in the unit.
5.
Performance will be impaired by the addition of any substantial amount of items at room
temperature.
6.
When not in use the unit must be stored open to prevent mould growth.
7.
NEVER fill the unit with water. DO NOT immerse the unit in water.
8.
Always disconnect the unit from electricity for cleaning. Wipe clean using a mild detergent solution.
9.
Disconnect the unit while the vehicle motor stop working otherwise the power in the cell might be
off.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit does not appear to function correctly, unplug the unit and check the following:
Fault
Possible cause
Suggested remedy
Your cooler does not function
(plug is inserted, LED on the
plug does not glow).
There is no voltage flowing
from the 12V socket
(cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.
The ignition must be switched on
in most vehicles for voltage to
flow at the cigarette lighter.
Your cooler does not cool
(plug is inserted, LED on the
plug glows).
The inner fan or the cooling
element is defective.
This can only be repaired by an
authorized customer services
unit.
The cigarette lighter socket is
dirty. This results in a poor
electrical contact.
If the plug of your cooler
becomes very warm in the
cigarette lighter socket, either
the socket is not clean or the
plug has not been inserted
correctly into the socket.
Remove dirt from the plug and
or socket using a non metallic
tool.
The ignition is on and the
cooler is not working or keeps
switching off
(Plug is inserted, LED on the
plug is not glowing or not
glowing continuously)
The plug has not been inserted
properly into the socket, poor
electrical contact.
Extract plug gently from the
socket and reinsert firmly.
Repeat the operation until the
proper position is found, the plug
is aligned firmly into the socket.
The fuse of the 12V plug has
blown.
Replace the fuse (8A) in the 12V
plug.(unscrew the tip)
The vehicle fuse has blown.
Replace the vehicle's 12V
socket fuse (usually 15A).
Please refer to the operating
manual of your vehicle.
There is water inside the cooler
Moisture in the air, trapped
inside the cooler, is condensed
by the low temperature.
This is not a product fault, the
inner of the cooler is not
ventilated. Dry the condensed
water periodically.
There is ice formation near the
inner ventilator
Moisture in the air, trapped
inside the cooler, is condensed
to water and freezes in contact
with the ventilator. Ice formation
can block the ventilator and
damage the unit.
This is not a product fault.
Switch the unit off and let the
ice melt, remove gently, check
the unit periodically if it is used
continuously.
