7. Getting started
Prior to using the coolbox for the first time, it is recommended that you clean it for hygiene reasons.
See also the chapter 8.3 "Cleaning".
Because of the materials used, there can be a slight product-specific smell inside the coolbox
before it is used for the first time. This smell is perfectly harmless, but, for hygiene reasons, we
recommend wiping the inside and outside of the coolbox with a damp cloth before using it
for the first time (see also Chapter "8.3 Cleaning"). Do not store unwrapped food in it.
In keep-warm mode, the coolbox switches off when the internal temperature reaches around
65 °C.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON STORING FOOD
• The proper use of the coolbox, correct packaging of food, maintenance of suitable temperatures
and food hygiene all effect the quality of food storage.
• Note the expiry date quoted on the food packaging.
• Food stored in the coolbox must be in sealed containers or appropriate packaging to ensure it
does not absorb moisture or smells.
• Bottles with a high alcohol content must be properly sealed and stored upright.
• Store heavy foods at the bottom and light or easily damaged foods (e.g. fruit) on top in order to
prevent spoilage.
Follow the instructions below to prevent food contamination:
• Leaving the lid [2] open for a long time can considerable increase the temperature in the coolbox.
• Clean any surfaces which come into regular contact with food.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the coolbox so that the do not come into contact
with or drip on other food.
• If you are leaving the coolbox empty for a long time, clean it and leave the lid [2] open to prevent
mould forming.
7.1 Loading the coolbox
Move the carry handle [5] forwards. Now open the lid [2]. Place the food and drinks in the coolbox.
If you wish to keep food cool, it is best to use pre-chilled food and drink. Close the lid [2] after
loading. Move the carry handle [5] backwards.
7.2 Transporting the coolbox
You can use the carry handle [5] to transport the coolbox.
