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.

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).

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.

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
The cooler can be monitored and controlled via Bluetooth or WiFi using an app that you can install on a compatible device. Download the CFX3 app from App Store or Google Play. Note that the CFX3 app may not be available in your country.

I NOTE Ensure that any small device connected to the USB port is compatible with 5 V/2 A operation.
Proceed as shown (fig. o, page 15).

7.21 Defrosting the cooler
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the evaporator. This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A NOTICE! Damage hazard Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place.
To defrost the cooler, proceed as follows: Take out the contents of the cooler. If necessary, place them in another cooling device to keep them cool. Switch off the device. Leave the lid open. Wipe off the defrosted water.

A NOTICE! Damage hazard · Never clean the cooler under running water or in dish water. · Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning as these can damage the cooler.
Occasionally clean the device interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
Make sure that the air inlet and outlet vents on the device are free of any dust and dirt, so that heat can be released and the device is not damaged.

9 Troubleshooting

Fault The device does not function (DC mode, ignition on).
The device does not function (AC mode).

Possible cause

Suggested remedy

No voltage was detected in the DC power outlet.

In most vehicles the ignition must be turned on before power will be supplied to the DC power outlet.

The DC outlet is dirty. This results in a poor electrical contact.

If the plug of the device becomes very warm in the DC outlet, either the DC outlet must be cleaned or the plug has not been assembled correctly.
