Safety notes TCX14, TCX21, TCX35

Health hazard

•Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of

the temperature in the compartments of the device.

•Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and

accessible drainage systems.

•Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the device, so that it is

not in contact with or drip onto other food.

•If the device is left empty for long periods:

– Switch off the device.

– Defrost the device.

– Clean and dry the device.

– Leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the

device.

ANOTICE! Damage hazard

•Do not use electrical devices inside the cooling device unless they are

recommended by the manufacturer for the purpose.

•Do not place the cooling device near naked flames or other heat

sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).

•Danger of overheating!

Ensure at all times that there is a minimum of 50 mm ventilation on all

four sides of the cooling device. Keep the ventilation area free of any

objects that could restrict the air flow to the cooling components.

Do not place the cooling device in closed compartments or areas with

none or minimal air flow.

TCX14, TCX21, TCX35 Scope of delivery

3Scopeofdelivery

Check before starting up the device that all parts are available belonging to the

scope of delivery.

4Useasintended

The cooler can be used to cool and keep foodstuffs warm. The device can be also

used for camping purposes.

All materials processed in the refrigerator are safe for foodstuffs.

5 Technical description

The cooling device is suitable for mobile use. It can cool goods up to max. 27 °C

under ambient temperature (thermostatic switch-off at approx. 2 °C) or keep them

warm up to max. 65 °C.

If the device has reached the set temperature range, it will automatically switch over

to the energy save mode. In this mode only the energy which is required to reach the

temperature inside the box is consumed.

The cooling device is a low-wear thermo-electric cooler with fan-assisted heat

removal.

The cooling device is equipped with an automatic priority circuit. Thus it is ensured

that with simultaneous connection to the AC mains supply and to a 12/24 V battery,

the AC mains supply will be used.

Operation TCX14, TCX21, TCX35

6Operation

6.1 Tips to save energy

•Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.

•If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling capacity for

the cooler device, use the device’s ECO mode.

•Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to

keep cool.

•Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.

•Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary.

6.2 Connecting to vehicle power

For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent

polarity reversal. This protects the cooler against short-circuiting when connecting to

a battery.

NOTE

Before you put the new cooling device into operation, you should clean

it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (see also

chapter “Cleaning and servicing” on page 13).

NOTE

A ventilator in the interior space of the cooling device provides for the

circulation of the cold air within the box. Thus a better cooling capacity

will be achieved. In order that the cold air cannot reach the outside

when opening the cooling device, it is equipped with a switch which

turns off the ventilator as soon as the lid is opened.

NOTE

If you connect the cooling device to the vehicle power, remember that

you may have to turn on the ignition to supply it with power.
