4. OPERATION

4.1. Pre-conditioning

For optimum results, place cold foods and drinks that are already

chilled in your Campingaz

thermo-electric cooler.

They will stay cool longer.

Important: In order to improve the thermal performance when

travelling, when camping, at the hotel or at home, before leaving,

we strongly recommend that you use the CAMPINGAZ

230 V ~/12 V

Euro Transformer, sold separately (Drawing D).

Thanks to the AutoSwitch system, the supply voltage will remain

stable despite mains voltage variations (230 V ± 10%). With a

transformer not supplied by CAMPINGAZ

, your thermo-electric

cooler may not work and CAMPINGAZ

cannot be held liable.

4.2. Cooling

The thermo-electric cooling system starts working as soon as it is

connected to a 12 Vdc power supply.

4.3. Battery control

The battery control system constantly monitors the car battery

power, thus protecting your battery and your car at all times.

1. Start your car engine before plugging the cooler to the car

socket.

2. After the car engine stops: when you stop your car engine. The

system checks the voltage of your battery and automatically

switches off the thermo-electric system of your cooler if the

voltage of your battery falls below 11.5 V

, and the red LED

turns to red (Drawing E2). Depending on the battery type

and its capacity to keep charge, the switch off time of the

thermo-electric cooler can occur in a matter of minutes. The

thermo-electric system of your cooler will only start when you

restart your car.

3. In case the battery voltage of your vehicle reaches the cutoff

tension : unplug the cooler plug from the vehicle dc power

source socket, start the vehicle and wait several minutes

before plugging the cooler again.

In 230 V ~ mode, if you use a transformer other than the

CAMPINGAZ

230 V ~/12 V

Euro Transformer, the battery

control system may prevent the cooler from working. This is due

to mains voltage variations (230 V ± 10%) or to inadequate power

from your transformer. Change to the CAMPINGAZ

230 V ~/

12 V Euro Transformer fitted with the Autoswitch system and your

Campingaz Cooler will work correctly.

5. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Before cleaning your cooler, make sure that it is disconnected from

any electrical power supply. When cleaning the cooling box please

refrain from using a harsh cleaning agent or solvent. The best way

to clean the box is with a damp cloth, possibly also using some

washing up liquid.

If the coolbox is not going to be used for a lengthy period of time,

it should be dried beforehand. It is also important to provide good

ventilation, in order to avoid the formation of mould.

It is recommended to leave the lid open when the appliance is

not in use.

You can continuously use the CAMPINGAZ

thermo-electric

cooler for days at a time, but it is necessary to regularly to unplug

it in order to defrost it and to empty the condensated water, if

necessary.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you have a problem with your thermo-electric cooler, we advise

you to read the following with care.

6.1. Cable problem

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by our

After-Sales Service.

6.2. Connection problem

Your cooler and the outside rotor of the fan are not running (green

LED off).

Check the car lighter socket: in most vehicles the ignition must

be turned on for the lighter to work. If the ignition is turned on

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for choosing CAMPINGAZ

. We hope that you will be

completely satisfied with your new Campingaz

thermo-electric

cooler.

1. SAFETY

Read this instruction manual carefully before use.

This cooler can be used by children aged 8 years or older and

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or

lack of cooler-related experience and knowledge, only if they have

been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the cooler

in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall

not play with the cooler. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not

be done by children without supervision.

Never connect your cooler directly to a 230 V ~ socket via the

12V

socket.

Never pour liquids in the vents or obstruct the vents of the cooler

(Drawing A1-A2).

Avoid exposing your thermo-electric cooler to damp weather

conditions i.e. rain and snow.

Entry of water into the power supply, fan motor or other electrical

parts may result in fire, causing personal injury and/or component

failure.

Never add ice into the thermo-electric cooler.

The melting ice could damage the fan motor and freeze on the

radiator fins.

Campingaz

Freez’Packs

are recommended to speed-up the

cooling of your thermoelectric cooler as a passive one when power

supply is not available.

2. WARNING

The Campingaz

cooler is a thermo-electric cooler and not

a refrigerator. The temperature difference, called Delta T and

       

between outside and inside of the cooler at 32 °C.

At an ambient temperature below 20 °C, the cooling performance

is not sufficient to keep products frozen or to make ice. As a

consequence the cooler must not be considered as a freezer for

frozen food conservation.

This cooler generates heat. Therefore, it requires good air

circulation to operate properly.

Never prevent the circulation of air generated by the outside and

inside rotors of the cooler’s fan.

Avoid placing the working cooler in the car boot, unless you have

an MPV or a station wagon (Drawing B). When using it in a parked

car, leave the windows slightly open.

Avoid exposing your thermo-electric cooler to direct sunlight.

Depending on the humidity of the air, the type of food stored and

the duration of use, a varying amount of water may condense

inside the cooler.

3. CONNECTION

3.1. 12 V

connection

Connect the cord on the plug of the cooler marked 12 V (Drawing C1).

Then plug the car plug (Drawing C2) to the vehicle car-plug or any

other 12V power supply (Drawing D)

For the models equipped with battery control : see specific

conditions on 4.3.

3.2. 24 V

connection

If you have a 24 V battery (lorries, some 4WD vehicles), connect

the end of the cable (Drawing C2) to a 24V

/ 12V inverter,

sold separately.

3.3. LED (Drawing E)

The green LED on (Drawing E1) means that the cooler is working

in “cold” mode.

The red LED (Drawing E2) means that the battery control has

switched off the cooler motor due to car battery level under 11.5V

(more details in section 4.4).
