The refrigerator can cool products to a maximum of 30 °C (MFV5M)/18 °C (MF15)
under the ambient temperature (thermostat switches off at approx.
+4 °C (MFV5M)/+5 °C (MF15) at “COLD” mode) or warm them and keep them
warm to a maximum of 65 °C. A grid divider can be used to separate foodstuffs, e.g.
bottles and fruit.

6.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against 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.

Before starting your new cooling device 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

MFV5M, MF15 Operation

6.2 Using the cooling device

NOTICE! Risk of damage

A

I

• Ensure that the objects or goods placed in the cooling device are

suitable for cooling or warming to the selected temperature.

• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively

refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore
destroy glass containers.

• Ensure that your cooler is well ventilated so that any heat created can

dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be ensured. It is
especially important not to cover the air vents.

NOTE
MFV5F only: For use as a milk cooler for coffee makers the refrigerator

has holes in both sides sealed with a black plug.
Remove the plug and push the milk tube into the appliance. The coffee
maker can draw up cold milk directly from a suitable vessel inside the
refrigerator.
Seal the opening on the side of the appliance with the plug if you do not
use the milk tube.

➤ Place the refrigerator on a firm base.

Ensure that the ventilation slots are at least 10 cm away from the wall so that the
heat that arises during operation can be drawn off.

➤ MF15 only:Plug the DC connection cable into the DC socket (fig. 3 2,

page 10) and connect it to DC voltage...or

➤ Plug the AC connection cable into the AC voltage socket (fig. 2 5, page 9 or

fig. 3 1, page 10) and connect it to the AC mains.

➤ Push the switch (fig. 2 4, page 9 or fig. 3 3, page 10) on the control panel to

“HOT”,“COLD” or “MAX COLD” (MFV5M only) to switch the device on.

✓ The refrigerator starts cooling/heating the interior and the appropriate LED lights

up.

➤ If you wish to switch the refrigerator off:

Slide the switch (fig. 2 4, page 9 or fig. 3 3, page 10) to the “OFF” position

➤ Pull out the connection cable.
