Putting into Operation
Switch the cool box on by pushing the foil button "power". The cool box is
steadily running in cooling mode. Switchover from cooling mode to heating
mode is done by foil button "cold" and "hot". The actual mode is shown by
the integrated LEDs, green stands for cooling mode and red for heating mode.
Putting out of service
If you wish to cut out the cooling device for a longer period, remove the plug
from the AC line or disconnect the cooling device cable from the battery. Clean the
cooling device and leave the door slightly open to prevent the formation of mold.
Fault Detection
Problem 1: Your box does not function and the fan wheel visible from the outside
is not turning.
A: It is possible that the cigarette lighter in your vehicle is not receiving any
current. In most vehicles, the ignition has to be switched on for the cigarette
lighter to be supplied with current.
B: Ignition is switched on, but the box is not functioning. Immediately remove the
plug from the socket and check the following:
1. Cigarette lighter mounting: If used frequently, this mounting can become
clogged with burnt tobacco. This results in a bad electrical contact. Clean it by
using a non-metal brush and solvent until the middle contact pin looks clean.
If the plug of your cool box gets very warm in the cigarette lighter mounting, then
either the mounting must be cleaned or the plug may not have been correctly
assembled.
2. Fuse in the connecting plug: The plug of your connection cable is fitted with
a fuse (5 A) for safety reasons. Check whether the fuse has been blown.
3. Vehicle fuse: A fuse (normally 15 A) is fitted for the cigarette lighter of your
vehicle. Check whether the fuse has been blown.
Problem 2: Your box does not cool satisfactorily and the outside fan wheel is not
turning. The fan motor is probably defective. Repair may only be carried out by an
authorised service dealer.
Problem 3: Your box does not cool but the outside fan wheel is turning. The
Peltier unit is probably defective. Repair may only be carried out by an authorized
service dealer.
Problem 4: Fridgemaster AC/DC
Your box does not cool in AC operation. The integrated power supply is probably
defective. Repair may only be carried out by an authorised service dealer.
Problem 5: Only for Fridgemaster with optional internal lamp
The internal lamp does not function. The bulb is probably defective. Repair may
only be carried out by an authorized service dealer.
