Frequently Asked Questions - CFF18 DOMETIC

How do I adjust the refrigerator temperature?
Use the +/- buttons on the control panel to set the desired temperature. The range is from -18 °C to +10 °C. The display shows the current internal temperature.
Can I use the device on a car battery?
Yes, the refrigerator operates on 12 V or 24 V DC, ideal for use in a motorhome or car. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged and set the battery protection mode to avoid complete discharge.
How do I clean the interior of the refrigerator?
Unplug the device, remove all food, and use a damp cloth with mild soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before restarting.
Why is my refrigerator not cooling enough?
Check that ventilation is adequate (no obstructions), that the ambient temperature is not too high, and that the temperature setting is correct. Excess frost can also reduce efficiency: defrost manually.
How do I defrost the freezer compartment?
Turn off the device and leave the door open. Place towels to absorb melting water. Never use sharp objects to remove ice. Once defrosted, wipe dry and restart.
What does the alarm indicator mean?
The alarm light flashes if the internal temperature is too high or if there is a malfunction. Refer to the manual for error codes. If the problem persists, contact technical support.
Can I use a cigarette lighter mains adapter?
Yes, the device comes with a 100-240 V to 12 V mains adapter. You can also use a cigarette lighter socket with a suitable cable (observe polarity).
The refrigerator makes noise, is this normal?
A slight humming from the compressor is normal. If the noise is loud or irregular, check that the device is on a flat, stable surface and that nothing is vibrating against it.
What is the power consumption on 12 V?
In normal operation, consumption is approximately 45 W. In standby mode, it is very low. Exact consumption depends on ambient temperature and setting.

Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable. If the cooling device is connected to a DC outlet, disconnect the cooling device and other power consuming devices from the battery before connecting a quick charging device. If the cooling device is connected to a DC outlet, disconnect the cooling device or switch it off when turning off the engine. Otherwise the battery may be discharged. The cooling device is not suitable for transporting caustic materials or materials containing solvents. The insulation of the cooling device contains flammable cyclopentane and requires special disposal procedures. Deliver the cooling device at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling center. Do not place the cooling device near open flames or other heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens, etc.). Risk of overheating! Ensure at all times that there is a minimum of 50 mm ventilation on all sides of the cooling device. Keep the ventilation area free of any objects that could obstruct the air flow to the cooling components. Do not use or store the cooling device in closed compartments or areas with none or minimal air flow. Do not fill the inner container with ice or fluids. Never immerse the cooling device in water. Protect the cooling device and cables against heat and moisture. The cooling device shall not be exposed to rain.

6 Operation

6.1 Avoiding food waste

To avoid food waste, note the following:

Keep temperature fluctuation as low as possible. Only open the cooling device as often and for as long as necessary. Store the foodstuff in such a way that the air can still circulate well. Adjust the temperature to the quantity and type of the foodstuff. Foodstuff can easily absorb or release odor or taste. Always store foodstuff covered or in closed containers/bottles.

6.2 Saving energy

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. If the cooling device has a basket: For optimal energy consumption, position the basket according to its position on delivery. On a regularly basis, ensure the lid seal still fits properly. Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.
