Operation
7.1 Before initial use
I NOTE Before starting your new cooler 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 35).
7.2 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
cooler once a layer of ice forms. · Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.
7.3 Reversing the lid opening direction

7.4 Connecting the cooler
A NOTICE! Damage hazard · For 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. · Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the
battery before you connect the battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage
can damage the electronics of the device.
Connecting to a battery Proceed as shown (fig. 7, page 7).
Connecting to an AC power supply
D DANGER! Electrocution hazard · Never handle plugs and switches with wet
hands or if you are standing on a wet surface. · If you are operating your
cooler on board a boat from a AC power supply, you must install a residual
current circuit breaker between the AC power supply and the cooler. Seek
advice from a trained technician.
Proceed as shown (fig. 8, page 7).

Operation
7.5 Using the cooler
A NOTICE! Risk of overheating Ensure at all times that there is sufficient
ventilation so that the heat that generated during operation can dissipate.
Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered. Make sure that the device
is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can
circulate.
I NOTE When operating with the battery, the display switches off automatically if the battery voltage is low.

selected temperature.
Proceed as shown (fig. e, page 10).
28
EN
CFX3
Operation
7.10 Using the battery protection
The device is equipped with 3-stage battery protection. The battery protection
prevents excessive discharging when the device is connected to a vehicle
starter battery or maximises the use of a supply battery.
If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the
cooler switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a
set level. The cooler will switch back on once the battery has been recharged
to the restart voltage level.
A NOTICE! Damage hazard When switched off by the battery protection, the
battery will no longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly. Ensure
that the battery is recharged.
I NOTE When the cooler is supplied by a starter battery, select the battery protection mode “MEDIUM” or “HIGH”. If the cooler is connected to a supply battery, the battery protection mode “LOW” is ideal.
Proceed as shown (fig. f, page 11).
7.11 Setting the display`s brightness
Proceed as shown (fig. g, page 11).
7.12 Switching on or off the compartments (only CFX3 75DZ, CFX3 95DZ)
You can activate each zone individually or both of them. Proceed as shown
(fig. h, page 12).

29
Operation
CFX3
7.13 Using the ice maker (only CFX3 55IM)
I NOTE · Independent of the main compartments temperature setting, the ice maker zone is designed for making ice cubes if the ice maker is switched on. · The coolers energy consumption increases with ice maker on. Therefore you
should switch off the ice maker if it is not needed. · The factory setting for
the ice maker is OFF.
Proceed as shown (fig. i, page 12).
Filling the ice trays with water
Remove the ice trays (fig. j 1, page 13) from the ice maker housing (fig. j 2,
page 13).
Remove the ice tray covers, fill with clean water and re-fit the cover, taking
care to press the edge seal all the way around.
Re-position the ice trays in the ice maker housing and close the lid.
I NOTE Dry any water spillage from under the ice trays. This will reduce ice
build up under the trays and make removal easier.
Removing the ice cubes
Open the ice maker housing lid and lift under the front of the ice trays.
I NOTE Removal may require additional force using two hands in high humidity
conditions which may create an ice bond underneath the ice trays.
Remove the ice tray covers and twist trays to release the ice cubes.
30
EN
CFX3
Operation
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 cooler: 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.
Tips for using the ice maker
· The ice maker makes ice fast for a number of hours after 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 conditions with the ice maker switched on.
Cleaning and drying the ice maker
When not in use clean and dry the ice trays and inside the ice maker housing
to prevent mould.
Following extended periods of non-use clean the inside of the ice trays with a
mild dish washing solution and rinse with clean water prior to use.
7.14 Downloading the CFX3 app
