2.5 Operating the device safely with gas

•Only operate the device with gas outdoors.

•Do not use gas to operate the device in cars, boats or enclosed spaces.

•When using the device in tents, awnings and on level patios, ensure that

there is sufﬁcient air circulation and ventilation.

•Never place the device near ﬂammable materials (paper, dry leaves, textiles).

•Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the pressure

information on the LPG gas cylinder.

•Never store liquid gas cylinders in unventilated areas or below ground level

(funnel shaped holes in the ground).

•Keep liquid gas cylinders away from direct sunlight.

The temperature must not exceed 50 ˚C.

3 Scope of delivery

Quantity Description

1 Cooler

1 Tray with cover for making ice cubes

1 Instruction manual

4 Intended use

The cooler is suitable for cooling foodstuffs and making ice cubes in the tray

provided. The device is also suitable for camping.

Caution – When cooling perishable medicines!

If you wish to cool medicines, please check if the cooling capacity of the device

is suitable for the medicine in question.

The cooler has been designed for operation with a 12 VDC voltage source (e. g.

the cigarette lighter of a vehicle) or alternatively for operation with a mains

voltage of 220 – 240 V AC.

The cooler can be operated independently of a voltage supply with liquid gas

(LPG).

5 Technical description

The cooler is suitable for use when camping, on a patio, in the garden,

or anywhere where a 12 V DC power connection (such as the cigarette lighter in

a vehicle) or a 220 V – 240 V mains voltage is available. You can also operate

the cooler with liquid gas.

You can cool goods to up to 25˚C below ambient temperature.

The device cools with a maintenance-free absorption circuit. Concentrated

ammoniac solution is heated in a boiler and then driven out in gaseous form.

The gas which is subjected to high pressure, is liqueﬁed in a condenser and then

evaporated by adding hydrogen. This removes heat from the cooling area.

6 Operating the cooler

Before starting your new cooler for the ﬁrst time, you should clean it inside and

outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons (please also refer to “Cleaning

and maintenance” on page 11).

Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

6.1 Energy saving tips

•Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct

sunlight.

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

•Do not open the cooler more often than necessary.

•Do not leave the lid open for longer than necessary.

•Arrange the food in the cooler so that air can circulate inside.

6.2 Using the cooler

Cool the cooler for about 24 hours before starting your journey using gas or

electricity from the mains. This way your cooler will attain the required cooling

capacity faster when you reach your destination.

The cooling capacity can be inﬂuenced by:

– The ambient temperature

– The amount of food to be conserved

– The frequency with which the lid is opened.

➤Place the cooler on a ﬁrm and level base.

Check the horizontal position (±2˚) with a spirit level if necessary.

➤Open the lid of the control panel ( 21, page 4) by pressing down on it.

Press down on the lid again to close it.

Ensure that the objects placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling to the

selected temperature.

Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated.

Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass containers.

Connecting to 220 V – 240 V

Check that the voltage speciﬁcation on the type plate corresponds to that of the

energy supply.

➤Plug the earthed plug into a properly installed safety plug socket.

➤Set the thermostat control ( 22, page 4) to “MAX”.

➤Wait until the temperature in the cooler has dropped.

➤Set the thermostat control ( 22, page 4) to the desired temperature range.

➤To switch off the cooler, set the thermostat control ( 22, page 4) to “0”

and pull out the plug.

CA-35_M-51201 2/3/06 8:29 AM Page 8

CoolFun CA-35

Connecting to 12 V DC

You cannot set the temperature with the thermostat control during battery

operation. The device is simply switched on and starts cooling.

Disconnect the cooler from the battery when the engine is not running as

otherwise the battery will be completely run down.

➤Make sure that the cable from the battery to the cooler is protected by

a fuse (max. 15 A).

➤Select a cable cross section for the cable between the battery and the

socket of the 12 V voltage supply in accordance with the following table:

Cable length Cable cross section

Up to 2.5m 2.5 mm2

2.5 m to 4.0 m 4.0 mm2

➤Make sure that the thermostat control for 220 V – 240 V operation ( 22,

page 4) is in the “0” position.

➤Insert the plug of the connection cable into the 12 V socket (e.g. cigarette

lighter). The polarity cannot be reversed.

➤To switch off the cooler, pull the plug out of the socket.

Connecting to a gas source

Only use LPG gas bottles with an approved pressure regulator ﬁtted.

Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the pressure

information on the gas cylinder.

The device is ﬁtted with a pilot light. The gas supply is interrupted when the

ﬂame goes out.

➤Position the gas bottle vertically at a distance of at least 1 metre away

from the burner (on the back of the cooler).

➤Check if the valve on the gas bottle is closed.

Only use approved hose lines (regulated to 2.75kPa) with a maximum length of

1.5m.

➤Connect the hose line to the head of the valve on the gas bottle and the

cooler ( 31, page 4).

The thread required is RH 1/4” BSP

➤Make sure that the hose line

– Is not crushed or kinked

– Is a safe distance from the burner.

➤Open the valve on the gas bottle.

Never check for leaks with an open ﬂame or near sources of ignition.

➤Check all connections with a leakage test spray.

There are no leaks if no bubbles form.

CA-35_M-51201 2/3/06 8:29 AM Page 9

CoolFun CA-35

➤Ensure that

– The thermostat control for 220 V – 240 V operation ( 22, page 4) is in

the “0” position

– The battery plug is not connected.

➤Press in the rotary switch ( 23, page 4) and hold it in for approx. 10 s to

force out any air in the hose connection.

➤Turn the rotary switch ( 23, page 4) towards “ ”.

✔You will hear a clicking noise: the Piezo ignition is trying to light

the ﬂame. When the ﬂame is burning, the cooler is ready for use.

➤If the ﬂame does not ignite, repeat the procedure.

Tip!

If it is not possible to light the gas with the Piezo lighter due to high air

humidity, you can light the gas burner with a match at the opening in the back

panel of the device when the rotary switch is pressed in.

➤Check that all hose lines and all connections are in a technically perfect

condition at regular intervals.

➤To switch off the cooler, ﬁrst close the valve on the bottle and then

turn the rotary switch ( 23, page 4) completely shut in a clockwise direction.

CA-35_M-51201 2/3/06 8:29 AM Page 10

CoolFun CA-35

Replacing the gas bottle

Only change the gas bottle in well ventilated areas.

Make sure that there are no sources of ignition in the vicinity.

Only change the gas bottle when the cooler is switched off.

➤Switch off the cooler by completely shutting the rotary switch ( 23, page 4) by

turning it clockwise.

➤Completely close the valve on the gas bottle.

➤Unscrew the valve from the bottle.

➤Check the condition of the hose line.

Replace the hose line if the material is brittle or porous.

➤Screw the pressure regulator tightly onto the new bottle.

Defrosting the cooler

Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooler. This reduces the cooling

capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.

Caution!

Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects which have

frozen in place.

To defrost the cooler, proceed as follows:

➤Take out the contents of the cooler.

➤Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary.

➤Switch the cooler off.

➤Leave the cover open.

➤When everything has defrosted, empty the cooler and wipe it out.

Switching off and storing the cooler

If you do not intend to use the cooler for a long time, proceed as follows:

➤Switch the cooler off.

➤Disconnect the power supply or the hose line to the gas bottle.

➤Clean the cooler (see “Cleaning and maintenance” below).

➤Leave the cover slightly open. This prevents odours from building up.

7 Cleaning and maintenance

Caution!

Before cleaning the cooler disconnect the power cable or the

hose line.

Caution!

Do not clean the cooler under running water or in dish water.

Caution!

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these

can damage the cooler.
