WARNING:

For the operation of the mini fridge, it is necessary to use the car engine. Make sure that the motor is switched on before connecting the device.

If you switch on the car engine with the mini fridge connected, this may cause a power surge which could damage the appliance and even result in a fire.

Do not leave the mini fridge running in the car with the engine switched off.

Before placing any product inside, test the cooling and heating functions.

The temperature inside the refrigerator will not immediately reach the desired temperature when it is switched on. It usually takes about 2/3 hours* to reach the desired temperature. The minimum temperature of the mini fridge varies according to the room temperature.

For faster cooling, it is recommended to fill the mini fridge with drinks or food previously chilled.

Temperature depends on the environment. The colder the room temperature, the cooler the mini fridge will be. Room temperature is the temperature of surrounding air.

When the room temperature is 25 °C, it can be cooled down to about 8 °C*.

*Approximate figure that can vary depending on different aspects.

The appliance is also designed to keep warm. The mini fridge is not designed to heat objects, food or cold drinks. However, you can cool down colder foods after at least 2 hours or so.

After switching the mini fridge off, hot items will maintain their temperature for several hours, provided the door is properly closed. Temperature dwell time will vary depending on environmental conditions.

Take care to avoid burns during use of the mini fridge in Heating mode.

When the room temperature is 25 °C, it can be heat up to about 65 °C*.

*Approximate figure that can vary depending on different aspects.

Make sure that the mode switch is at least 30 minutes in the off position before switching between modes.

If used correctly, the device can preserve the temperature of food, hot or cold, for hours.

Warning

Never use the mini fridge in a car with a voltage of 24 V, or in a house with a voltage other than 220-240 V. This may 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 cause malfunctions which may result in 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, as the appliance will not cool down or heat up.

Do not cover the appliance with rags, paper, or any other object.

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.

Do not immerse the appliance in water.

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.

Keep ventilation openings clean from dirt and clear to prevent overheating.

When storing or transporting the device, avoid placing it upside down, dropping it or subjecting it to shocks.

1. Check the condition of the power cables.

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 room temperature, the cooler the mini fridge will be.

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 room temperature.

Avoid direct cooling of hot objects.

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.
