Quick guide from the manual
The Easy Camp Arctic Bluebell 12V/230V 24 is a portable cooler designed for camping. It features both cooling and heating functions. For optimal performance, use pre-chilled food and drinks. The unit is not designed to heat cold food, but rather to maintain the temperature of already warm food.
Instructions for use
Before connecting the power, ensure the HOT/COLD selector switch is in the OFF position.

- Cooling: Set the switch to 'COLD'. The green indicator light will turn on.

If the unit fails to power on, check the fuses:
