WARNING: For the operation of the mini fridge, it is necessary to use the car engine. Do not leave the mini fridge running in the car with the engine switched off.

Internal Temperature:

The temperature inside the refrigerator will not immediately reach the desired temperature when it is switched on. It usually takes about 2 hours to reach the desired temperature. The minimum temperature of the mini fridge varies according to the ambient temperature.

Cool Down:

For faster cooling, store cold drinks in the mini fridge. The colder the ambient temperature, the cooler the mini fridge will be. When the ambient temperature is 25 °C, it may be cooled down to about 10 °C.

Heating:

The appliance is also designed to keep warm. It is not designed to directly heat up cold items. After switching the mini fridge off, hot items will maintain their temperature for several hours, provided the door is properly closed. Take care to avoid burns during use of the mini fridge in Heating mode. When the room temperature is 25 °C, it may heat up to about 60 °C.

Note:

The green indicator light indicates that Cooling mode is enabled, while the red indicator light indicates that Heating mode is enabled. Make sure that the mode switch is at least 30 minutes in the off position before switching between modes.

Warning:

Never use the mini fridge in a car with a voltage of 24V, or in a house with a voltage other than 220-240V. This will cause malfunctions and fire.

This product should not be used near water and at high temperatures to avoid malfunctions, electric shock and other accidents.

Transforming or tampering with the mini fridge and power cord will result in malfunction and fire.

In summer, do not place the mini fridge inside the car or in the boot and other high temperature places to avoid appliance failure.

When using the appliance in the car, be sure to switch on the engine and, if the engine is switched off, disconnect the power cable.

Unplug the power cord when the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time.

Do not block the air inlet or drain hole, as the appliance will not cool down or heat up.

Make sure to unplug the appliance after use and before storing it.

Store the mini fridge in a cool, dry place. Always make sure it is completely dry before storing it.

Always let the mini fridge dry completely with the door open before storing it. Keep the door open while the appliance reaches room temperature to avoid moisture and mould formation inside the appliance.

Clean the mini fridge with a soft, damp cloth.

It is common for condensation to form inside the mini fridge; be sure to clean it frequently to prevent bad odours and ensure proper operation.

If the mini fridge doesn’t work:

1. Check the indicator lights. If the indicator light is off or goes on and off, check the state of the electrical connection.

2. Make sure the sockets are in good condition and clean them if necessary.

If the mini fridge does not reach the desired temperature:

1. Make sure that the switch is in the desired mode and check if the fan is working properly. If the mini fridge is not working properly, please contact the official Cecotec Service Centre.

2. The lowest possible temperature depends on the surrounding environment. The colder the ambient temperature, the cooler the mini fridge will be.

Tips for better cooling:

Place the appliance more than 5 cm away from the wall to ensure good heat dissipation.

To ensure optimum performance, do not use the mini fridge in places with a high ambient temperature.

Avoid direct cooling of hot objects.

Condensation/frost appearing inside:

The mini fridge works on a thermoelectric system and the difference in temperature between inside and outside or frequent opening of the door will cause interior condensation or frost formation, which is normal.

It is not recommended to keep the door open or to open or close it frequently. Do not attempt to directly cool down hot items.
