Warning:
Fire Hazard / Flammable Materials
• The appliance is designed for use in households, cars, caravans, boats or when camping. However, it must not be exposed to rain.
• The appliance may only be powered using a safe low voltage corresponding to the designation on the rating label of the appliance.
• The appliance can be connected tomore than one power source. The power cord of this appliance can only be connected to a 12 V socket of
the corresponding shape (e.g. car cigarette lighter), to a 220–240 V mains socket only through the supplied cable. However, never connect the
appliance tomultiple power sources. This may lead to irreversible damage.
• Keep all cables andtheir connectors clean. Do not use metal or otherwise conductive tools for cleaning.
• In vehicles that allow devices to be powered from a 12 V power socket without the engine running, it is important to check the battery status to
prevent full discharging.
Caution:
Before you connect the appliance to a 220–240 V power socket on a boat, make sure that the socket is equipped with a residual
current device. Otherwise there is a risk of injury.
• Do not use the appliance in rooms with high dust or humidity, e.g., laundry rooms, bathrooms, spaces storing chemicals, or industrial environments.
• Keep the appliance away from open flames or heat sources.
• Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
• Place the appliance on a stable and flat surface.
• Make sure that the appliance does not tip over. Ensure the appliance is not tilted. Do not tilt it beyond 30°.
• If the appliance is overturned, return it to the operating position, turn it off anddisconnect it from the power supply. Allow the refrigerant circuit to
stabilise for about 2 hours before turning the appliance back on.
• Do not fill the device with ice or pour liquids into it.
• Do not place cans (e.g. canned beverages) or carbonated beverages in the appliance when using the heating or freezing function, as it poses an
explosion risk.
• Do not immerse the appliance, power cord or its connectors in water or any other liquid.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when connected to the power source.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the power source when not in use, before moving or cleaning.

• power adapter (100–240 V~) for connection to a properly grounded
power outlet; car socket adapter (12/24 V
).
• Depending on the intended use, insert the power cord connector into
the socket on the side of the fridge and insert the adapter either into
the mains socket (using the mains adapter) or into the socket of your
car (using the car socket adapter).
• After connecting the car fridge to the power source, a short beep will

USING THE CAR FRIDGE
• Press the button to turn the fridge on.
• Repeatedly press the
button to directly select the cooling/freezing
temperature in thefollowing order: 20°C, 10°C, 5°C, 0°C, −5°C, −10°C,
−18°C.
• Adjust the +/− buttons to the desired temperature insteps of 1°C. The
display shows the set temperature.
• Wait approximately 3 seconds for the settings to be saved in the
memory and for the car fridge to start cooling/freezing the interior to
the set temperature. The current temperature inside will be displayed
on the screen.
• Once the temperature inside reaches the set temperature, the car
fridge will maintain this temperature.
• If the temperature increases (in cooling mode) or decreases (in heating
mode) by approximately 2 °C, the fridge will restart.
• If not using the fridge, press the button
to turn it off.
Quick Temperature Setting
• When the car fridge is turned on, press and hold the + or − button.
• The temperature will increase or decrease by 2°C.

FOOD INSERTION
• Place food inside the internal space in its original packaging or in
suitable plastic or glass containers. Ensure that the lids are properly
closed.
• When removing or inserting food, it is advisable to open the lid at an
angle of approximately 100°. The lid hinge is equipped with a limiter
that prevents the lid from opening to a greater angle.
• The lid hinge is equipped with a mechanism that ensures that the lid
stops in themaximum open position. When closing, it is necessary to
push slightly to overcome the resistance of the hinge.
• Always ensure that the lid of the fridge is properly closed. If the lid
cannot be closed properly, rearrange the food inside. Ifnecessary,
wipe the edge of the internal space with a clean cloth to remove any
impurities that could hinder the lid's tightness.
