• For 12V DC (Vehicle Power): Connect the 12V DC cable to the cooler's DC input and then to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
• Only use one power source at a time.

4. Operating Instructions

Powering On and Mode Selection:

1. Connect the cooler to the desired power source (12V or 230V).
2. Locate the control panel on the cooler. It typically has two switches: one for function (COLD/HOT/OFF) and one for intensity (ECO/MAX).
3. To Cool: Set the function switch to 'COLD'. The cooler will begin to cool its contents.
4. To Warm: Set the function switch to 'HOT'. The cooler will begin to warm its contents.
5. To Turn Off: Set the function switch to 'OFF'.

Intensity Modes:

• ECO Mode: For energy-saving and quieter operation. The cooling/warming performance will be reduced (approx. 8W consumption). Ideal for overnight use or when minimal performance is sufficient.
• MAX Mode: For maximum cooling or warming performance. The fan will operate at full speed, and the unit will consume more power.

Using the Removable Grid Insert:
