Operation
6.1 Energy saving tips
 Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against
direct sunlight.
 If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling
capacity for the cooler unit, use the cooler's ECO mode.
 Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep
cool.
 Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
 Do not leave the cooler unit open for longer than necessary.
6.2 Using the cooler
A
NOTICE! Risk of damage
 Ensure that the objects or goods placed in the cooling device
are suitable for cooling or warming to the selected tempera-
ture.
 Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not exces-
sively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can
therefore destroy glass containers.
 Ensure that your cooler is well ventilated so that any heat
created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be
ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents.
