Selecting the temperature units
Select the temperature as shown

Operation

Avoiding food waste. To avoid food waste, note the following: Keep temperature fluctuation as low as possible. Only open the cooling device as often and for as long as necessary. Store the food in such a way that the air can still circulate well. Adjust the temperature according to the quantity and type of the foodstuff. Foodstuffs can easily absorb or release odor or taste. Always storefoodstuffsf covered or in closed containers/ bottles.

Saving energy

Choose a well-ventilated location that is protected from direct sunlight. Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the cooling device to keep cool. Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.  Do not leave the cooling device open for longer than necessary. If the cooling device has a basket: For optimal energy consumption, position the basket according to its position on deliveryRegularlyys, ensure the lid seal still fits properly. Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.

Connecting the cooling device

NOTICE! Damage hazard
For the protection of the device, the DC cable supplied includes a fuse inside the plug. Do not remove the
fused DC plug. Only use the DC cable supplied.

Connecting to the Portable Battery Pack PLB40 or the Hardwiring Kit HWK-DC (accessories)
Connect the device to PLB40 or HWK-DC as shown

If necessary, seek advice from a trained technician. Connect the device to an AC power supply as shown.

Using the battery monitor

The cooling device is equipped with a battery monitor that provides a 3-stage battery protection. The battery protection prevents excessive discharging when the cooling device is connected to a vehicle starter battery or maximizes the use of a supply battery.

If the cooling device is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooling device switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooling device will switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.

Set the battery monitor as shown.

 Using the cooling device

• When the voltage is < 8 V, the display switches off automatically.
• When the voltage is ≥ 8 V and ≤ 12 V, the display may show “!ALERT – Voltage low” depending on the

Using the ice maker (CFX5 55IM only)

• The ice maker makes ice fast for a number of hours aer switching on and then automatically goes into an ice maintenance mode to reduce energy consumption.
• If multiple batches of ice are required as quickly as possible, switching the ice maker off and back on will set it back into fast ice-making mode. Repeat as required.
• Low freezer temperature settings in the main compartment may not be maintained in high ambient temperature conditions with the ice maker switched on. To turn the ice maker on or off, proceed as shown:

Filling the ice trays with water

Remove the ice trays ( Fig. on page 221) from the ice maker housing ( Fig.Removal may require additional force using two hands in high humidity conditions, which may create an
ice bond underneath the ice trays.

1.  Open the ice maker housing lid and li under the front of the ice trays.
2. . Remove the ice tray covers and twist trays to release the ice cubes.

Removing the ice maker housing

• The ice maker housing can be removed for cleaning or when not in use to increase usable space inside the cooling device.
• Lift the housing at one end until the lug unclips, then remove.
• Reverse procedure for re-fit, pushing down on lugs to snap into position.

Cleaning and drying the ice maker

• When not in use, clean and dry the ice trays and the inside of the ice maker housing to prevent mould
