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 tomore 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 tomultiple power sources. This may lead to irreversible damage.
Keep all cables andtheir 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.
Warning:
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 anddisconnect 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.

The fridge is supplied with two adapters:
1. power adapter (100–240 V~) forconnection to aproperly grounded
power socket;
2. 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).
Warning:
Never plug the power adapter into acar socket or
the car socket adapter into apower socket. There is
arisk of electric shock and irreversible damage to the
product.
