7.7Connecting the refrigerator to DC voltage
NOTICE!
•
A
The refrigerator can be operated with DC voltage supply (12/24 Vg).
For safety reasons, the refrigerator is equipped with an electronic system to prevent
the polarity being reversed. This protects the refrigerator against reversed polarity
when connecting to a battery and against short circuiting.
To protect the battery, the refrigerator switches off automatically if the voltage is
insufficient (see table below).
To avoid voltage drops and loss of performance, keep the
connection cable as short as possible.
Avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.
•
Disconnect the cooling device and other electric consumers from
the battery before you connect the battery to a quick charging
device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.

7.8Connecting the refrigerator to AC voltage
DANGER! mortal danger!
•
D
You can connect the refrigerator to an AC power if you use the MPS35 rectifier
(accessory).
Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
•
If you are operating your refrigerator on board a boat with an
AC power supply using a shore connection, you must install a
residual current circuit breaker between the AC power supply and
the refrigerator.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
The MPS35 rectifier features a priority circuit which conserves the battery
connected. When an power supply is used, the rectifier automatically switches from
battery to mains operation.
When disconnected from the AC power supply, the rectifier automatically switches
back to battery operation. Mains operation via the rectifier always takes priority over
battery operation.
Proceed as follows when you connect the refrigerator to the AC supply:
➤ Attach the rectifier on the back of the refrigerator.
➤ Connect the rectifier to the battery as shown in fig. f, page 10:
➤ Plug the connector into the AC socket (fig. f 1, page 10).

8Using the refrigerator
The refrigerator conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves
frozen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.
NOTICE!
•
A
Do not place any electrical devices inside the cooler. The
only exceptions are devices approved for the purpose by the
manufacturer.
•
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively
refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore
destroy glass containers.
•
Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable
containers.
•
Make sure that you only put items in the cooler which may be kept at
the selected temperature.
NOTE
•
I
Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should
clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons
(please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on
page 27).
•
Do not use force to press the flap of the freezer.
•
Do not pull out the dividing wall if there is ice in the freezer.
•
Do not remove the sticker which covers the control element (fig. 4,
page 3).
8.1Energy saving tips
•
Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
•
Allow hot food to cool down first before you put it in the refrigerator.
•
Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.
•
Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary. If the door is left open for
more than 5 minutes, the light starts to flash.
•
Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.
•
Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.

NOTE
I
8.3Setting the temperature
➤ Press the button repeatedly until the desired temperature level is set.
The more LEDs light up above the button the lower is the temperature level.
To switch from the last level to the first level press the button again.
I
After switching on, the refrigerator needs some time before the
compressor starts up.
NOTE
The cooling performance can be affected by:
•
the ambient temperature
•
the amount of food to be conserved
•
the frequency with which the door is opened
If the ambient temperature is at 16 °C to 20 °C, set the refrigerator to at
least level 2.
8.4Conserving foodstuffs
NOTICE!
•
A
I
You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator. The time for which the food can be
conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.
Do not conserve warm foodstuffs in the refrigerator.
•
Do not place glass containers containing liquid in the freezer
compartment.
NOTE
Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours, as well as liquids and
products with a high alcohol content, should be conserved in air-tight
containers.
25
EN
Using the refrigeratorCRE
The refrigerator is divided in different zones with different temperatures:
•
The colder zones are immediately above the drawers for fruit and vegetables,
near the back wall.
•
Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food
packaging.
•
Observe the following when using the refrigerator:
–Never re-freeze products which have started defrosting or have been
defrosted; consume them as soon as possible.
–Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and store it in an airtight container.
This ensures that aromas, the texture and the freshness will be better
conserved.
8.5Defrosting the freezer
NOTICE!
A
Never use mechanical tools to remove ice or to loosen objects frozen to
the inside of the refrigerator. The only exceptions are devices approved
for the purpose by the manufacturer.
This is how to defrost the refrigerator:
➤ Empty the contents.
➤ If necessary, put them in another cooling device to keep them chilled.
➤ Press the button until the refrigerator switches off.
➤ Leave the door completely open.
8.6Releasing the lock
The refrigerator has a locking mechanism (fig. g 1, page 11) which is also used to
protect it during transport. The door is secured when it is locked.
➤ To open the door, lift the handle (fig. g 2, page 11) up and open it.

8.7Switching off and storing the refrigerator
If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤ Press the button until the refrigerator switches off.
➤ Disconnect the connection cable from the battery or disconnect the plug on the
AC cable plug from the rectifier.
➤ Clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 27).
➤ Close the door.
➤ Turn the ventilation lock (fig. h 1, page 11) until it latches in.
✓ The door stays open thus preventing smells from arising.
9Cleaning and maintenance
NOTICE!
•
A
➤ Always disconnect the device from the power supply before you clean and
service it.
➤ Clean the refrigerator regularly and as soon as it becomes dirty with a damp
cloth.
➤ Make sure that no water drips into the seals. This can damage the electronics.
➤ Wipe the refrigerator dry with a cloth after cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning
as these can damage the refrigerator.
