Note

The cooling unit is detachable mad can be installed up to 1.5 metres away from the cooler if there is limited space.

6.2 Releasing the lock

The refrigerator has a locking mechanism (fig. 5 1, page 5) which is also used to protect it during transport. The following settings are possible:

Caution!

Only adjust the locking mechanism when the door is open. If you use it with the door closed, you will damage the device.

● Normal lock (turn wheel clockwise to the end stop): the door is locked and secured.
To open the door, lift the handle up and open the door.
- Vent (turn wheel anti-clockwise to the end stop): The door is slightly open and fixed in place.
Use this position, if you are not going to use the appliance for a long time.

Setting up and connecting the refrigerator CoolMatic CRP-40

6.3 Changing the door hinge

You can also change the hinge of the door, so that it opens to the left rather than the right.

▶ Proceed as shown in fig. 6, page 5 to fig. 8, page 6, to change the hinges.

6.4 Connecting to a battery

The refrigerator can be operated with a 12 V to 24 V DC voltage supply.

Caution!

To prevent voltage and power losses, the cable should be as short as possible and not be interrupted.

For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or socket strips.

▶Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length according to fig. 9, page 6.

Key for fig. 9, page 6

CoolMatic CRP-40 Setting up and connecting the refrigerator

▶ Connect the refrigerator (fig. 11, page 7)

– as directly as possible to the poles of the battery or
- to a plug socket which is fuse protected with at least 15 ~A (at 12 ~V ) or 7.5 ~A (at 24 ~V ).

Caution!

Disconnect the device and other consumers from the battery before charging the battery with a quick charging device. Over voltages 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).

	12 V 24 V
Cut-off voltage	10.4 V 22.8 V
Cut-in voltage	11.7 V 24.2 V

6.5 Connecting to a 230 V mains supply

Danger of fatal injuries!

Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are standing on a wet surface.

Caution!

If you are operating your cooling device on board a boat with a mains connection of 230 V from the land, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the 230 V mains supply and the cooling device.

Get advice from a qualified specialist.

▶To operate the refrigerator on the 230 V mains, use the WAECO MPS-35 rectifier.

Using the refrigerator CoolMatic CRP-40

7 Using the refrigerator

Note

Before starting your new refrigerator 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).

7.1 Energy saving tips

• Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
• Allow hot food to cool down first before you place it into the device.
• Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
  ● Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.
• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature settings.
  ● Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.

7.2 Using the refrigerator

The fridge conserves fresh foodstuffs. The freezer compartment conserves frozen foodstuffs and freezes fresh foodstuffs.

Caution!

Make sure that drinks or foodstuffs in glass containers are not cooled too severely. Drinks and liquids expand when they freeze. This can break the glass containers.

Caution!

Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

▶ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the knob (fig. 3 1, page 4) to the right.

Note

After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 60 s until the compressor starts up.

CoolMatic CRP-40 Using the refrigerator

Caution!

Ensure that the objects placed in the refrigerator are suitable for cooling to the selected temperature.

Setting the temperature

You can set the temperature to any level using the knob. The built-in thermostat regulates the temperature as follows:

● Min. (left limit) = warmest setting

● Max. (right limit) = coldest setting

Note

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. The time for which the food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.

Caution!

Do not conserve any warm foodstuffs in the refrigerator.

Do not place glass containers with liquids in the freezer compartments.

Note

Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight containers.

The refrigerator is divided in different zones with different temperatures:

• The colder zones are immediately above the drawers for fruit and vegetables, near the back wall.
• Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food packaging.

Using the refrigerator CoolMatic CRP-40

▶Observe the following when using the refrigerator:

• Never re-freeze products which have started defrosting or have been defrosted; consume them as soon as possible.
• 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 will be better conserved.

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.

This is how to defrost the refrigerator:

▶Take the contents out.
▶If necessary, put them in another cooling appliance.
▶Set the knob to "0".
▶Leave the door open.
▶Wipe off the water resulting from defrosting or – if present – empty the collecting tray. If your device has a water drain, drain the thawed water off.

Switching off and storing the refrigerator

If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:

▶Set the knob to level "0".
▶Disconnect the power cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out of the rectifier.
▶Clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 35).
▶Set the lock to the "VENT" position. This prevents odours from forming.

Securing the refrigerator door

You can prevent the refrigerator door from being opened inadvertently.

Put the locking mechanism on the top of the door to position 1 (fig. 5 1, page 5).
