6.2 Connecting the refrigerator
Connecting to a battery
The refrigerator can be operated with a 12 V to 24 V DC voltage supply.
To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance, the
cable should be kept as short as possible and should not be
interrupted if this is possible.
For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.
➤ Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable
length according to 3, page 4.
Key for 3, page 4
Co-ordinate axis Meaning Unit
l Cable length m
∅ Cable cross section mm²
Caution!
Make sure that the polarity is correct.
z Before starting up the device for the first time, check whether the
operating voltage and the battery voltage correspond (see type plate).
➤ Connect the refrigerator
– As directly as possible to the pole of the battery or
– To a plug socket which is fused with at least 15 A (at 12 V) or 7.5 A
(at 24 V).
Caution!
Disconnect the cooling device and other power consuming
devices from the battery before connecting the battery to a quick
charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
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).

Connecting to 230 V mains supply
Danger of fatal injuries!
Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing in a puddle.
If you are operating your refrigerator on board a boat with a mains
connection of 230 V from the land, you must install a ground
protection circuit breaker between the 230 V mains supply and
the refrigerator.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
➤ Use the MOBITRONIC MPS-50 rectifier to operate the refrigerator with
a 230 V mains supply.
Dividing the interior space
You can divide the interior space of the refrigerator variably by arranging the
grids and shelves according to your needs.
10.4 V 22.8 V
11.7 V 24.2 V
To divide the interior space according to your needs, proceed as follows:
➤ Left the rear part of the shelf and pull it out to the front until the front part
glides out of the guides.
➤ Turn the shelf down and pull it out completely.
➤ Select the required position and guide the shelf back in.
6.3 Using the refrigerator
The refrigerator conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment
conserves frozen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively
refrigerated.
Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the glass
containers.
➤ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the knob to level “1”.
After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 180 s until the
compressor starts up.
11
Page 11
Using the refrigerator HDC-161, HDC-221
Ensure that the objects placed in the refrigerator are suitable for
cooling to the selected temperature.
➤ Turn the knob further if necessary to set the temperature in levels from “1”
to “7” (see table below).
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature in levels using the knob. The integrated
thermostat regulates the temperature as shown in the following table.
Level Meaning
0 Device switched off
1 Minimum cooling capacity
7 Maximum cooling capacity
The cooling capacity can be influenced by:
– The ambient temperature
– The amount of food to be conserved
– The frequency with which the door is opened.
Conserving foodstuffs
You can conserve foodstuffs in the refrigerator compartment. The time for
which the food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.
Caution!
Do not conserve warm food in the refrigerator compartment.
Do not place glass containers with liquid in the freezer compartment.
Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and
products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in airtight containers.
The refrigerator compartment is divided in different zones with different
temperatures:
z The colder zones are immediately over the drawers for fruit and
vegetables near the back wall.
z You can keep frozen food in the freezer compartment for several months.
The refrigerator attains temperatures of up to –18°C in this area.
➤ Observe the following when using the device:
z Do not re-freeze products which are defrosting or have been defrosted,
consume them as soon as possible.
12
Page 12
HDC-161, HDC-221 Using the refrigerator
z Each individual drawer and shelf can bear an evenly divided load of
max. 20 kg.
z Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in in a suitable box with
a lid. This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness are better
conserved.
Making ice cubes
Caution!
Do not eat ice cubes or ice cream immediately after removing it
from the freezer compartment as this can cause cold burns.
Make ice cubes in the freezer compartment in the following manner:
➤ Fill the ice cube trays up to three quarters full with water.
➤ Place the ice cube trays in the freezer compartment.
Do not remove containers which have frozen in place to the base
of the compartment with sharp or pointed objects.
This can damage the refrigerator.
Defrosting the refrigerator
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser.
This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
Caution!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
To defrost the refrigerator, proceed as follows:
➤ Take out the contents of the refrigerator.
➤ Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary.
➤ Set the knob to “0”.
➤ Leave the door open.
➤ Wipe off the defrosted water.
Switching off and storing the refrigerator
If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤ Turn the knob to “0”.
➤ Disconnect the power cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out
of the rectifier.
➤ Clean the refrigerator (see “Cleaning and maintenance” chapter on
page 15).
