Product Information
Full details
The Mestic MAC-40 Cool Box is designed for campers, caravanners, and motorhome enthusiasts who require a flexible, multi-power cooling solution for food and beverages. Its standout benefit is the three-way power system—gas, 12V DC, and 230V AC—which allows for total cooling independence in both powered campsites and off-grid locations. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that as an absorption-based model, cooling performance is dependent on the ambient temperature and requires proper leveling for optimal efficiency.

- Generous 40-liter interior accommodates large bottles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the Mestic MAC-40 functions at peak efficiency, it must be placed on a flat, level surface. The absorption process relies on internal liquid circulation that will not occur if the unit is tilted. When using the cool box, ensure there is sufficient airflow around the back vents to prevent heat buildup.
For cleaning, wipe the interior and exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Always disconnect the power source before performing maintenance and ensure the unit is completely dry before storage.
