The hybrid coolbox is suitable for mobile use. It's equipped with two
independent cooling systems. The device features a cooling system cooled
by a fan and a cooling system which drives on a compressor.
In the thermo-electric mode (connection to 12V) the appliance is able
to cool down the content up to 20 °C below ambient temperature. In
compressor mode (connection to 230V), the appliance is able to cool
down to -15 °C.
inStallation of the appliance
• Install the appliance on a firm, horizontal surface. To level the
appliance, use a spirit level or a vessel containing water, if necessary.
Avoid installing the appliance in direct sunlight or near any source of
heat. The distance between the rear of the appliance and a wall shall
not be less than 10 cm, and the minimum ventilating space from the
sides of the appliance shall never be less than 5 cm. In all cases, the
location shall be protected from rain and splashing. To guarantee a
good level of air circulation, do not obstruct the ventilation grids of the
upper, lower or rear surface of the appliance.

• On boats: If your appliance is connected to the mains, please make sure
that the power supply is protected by a earth leakage circuit breaker.
operation with the mainS
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the operating voltage
specified on the label (on the rear of the appliance).
• If the electrical specifications are correct, push the safety electrical
plug into an earthed wall socket which is wired according to the
specifications.
connect the unit only as follows:
• With the DC cable to a DC power outlet in the vehicle (for example a
cigarette lighter)
• Or with the 230V cable to the 230V AC mains.
caution! risk of damage.
• Use the unit at one power source at a time. The simultaneous use of the
thermoelectric cooling system and the compressor is not allowed.
Start-up
• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the MAX position. In the
compressor mode, the temperature can be set from + 10 °C to -15 °C. In
the thermo-electric mode, it's not necessary to set the temperature.
• In the thermo-electric mode (connection to 12V) the appliance is able
to cool down the content up to 20 °C below ambient temperature. In
compressor mode (connection to 230V), the appliance is able to cool
down to -15 °C.
• The effects of the cooling process (frost on the evaporator) only
become visible after about an hour.
• After a sufficient cooling period (approximately a ½ hour), the
thermostat can be set to an intermediate position. The selected
temperature is regulated automatically by the thermostat.
