6.1 Before initial use
NOTE
I
Selecting the temperature units
You can switch the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Proceed as follows:
➤ Switch on the cooling device.
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 page 16).
➤ Press the “SET” button twice.
➤ Use the “+” and “–” buttons to select Celsius or Fahrenheit.
✓ The selected temperature units then appear in the display for a few
seconds. The display flashes several times before it returns to the current
temperature.
6.2 Energy saving tips
Choose a well ventilated location which 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.
Defrost the cooling device once a layer of ice forms.
Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.

MCF40, MCF60 Operation
6.3 Connecting the cooling device
The cooling device can be operated with DC or AC voltage.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
A
For safety reasons the cooling device is equipped with an electronic system
to prevent polarity reversal. This protects the cooling device against shortcircuiting when connecting to a battery.
Disconnect the cooling device and other consumer units from
the vehicle battery before you connect the vehicle battery to a
quick charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the cooling device.
For protection of the cooling device the DC cable supplied
includes a fuse inside the plug. Do not remove the fused
DC plug.
Only use the DC cable supplied.
➤ Plug the DC connection cable into the DC socket and connect it to a 12 V
or 24 V power socket or …
➤ … plug the AC connection cable into the AC voltage socket and connect it
to an AC mains.
➤ Close the covers of the sockets not in use to prevent accidentally touching
the sockets. This also prevents dust, water and dirt from entering the
socket.
6.4 Using the battery monitor
The cooling device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects
your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the cooling device is
connected to the DC power supply.
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 vehicle
battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
A
When switched off by the battery monitor, the vehicle battery will
no longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating
current consumers without longer charging phases. Ensure that the
vehicle battery is recharged.

and “MED” (see the following table).
Battery monitor mode LOW MED HIGH
Switch-off voltage at 12 V
Restartvoltage at 12 V
Switch-off voltage at 24 V
Restart voltage at 24 V
Proceed as follows to select the battery monitor mode:
➤ Switch on the cooling device.
➤ Press the “SET” button three times.
➤ Use the “+” and “–” buttons to select the battery monitor mode.
✓ The selected mode then appears in the display for a few seconds. The dis-
play flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.
NOTE
I
When the cooling device is supplied by the vehicle battery, select
the battery monitor mode “HIGH”. If the cooling device is connected to a supply battery, the battery monitor mode “LOW” will
suffice.
