5 Technical description CoolMatic CB-36, CB-40, CB-110 and RHD-50 cooling devices are suitable for use with a 12 V or 24 V DC voltage and can therefore also be used for camping or on boats. You can also use the EPS-100W and MPS-35 rectifiers to connect them to a 230 V mains supply. The cooling device can chill products and keep them cool. CoolMatic CB-36 and CB-40 devices can also be used to freeze products. All materials used in the cooling device are compatible for use with food- stuffs. The refrigerant circuit is maintenance-free. You can use the continuously variable thermostat in the interior of the device to set the desired temperature. The cooling device has a undervoltage protection mechanism. To protect the battery, the cooling device switches off automatically if the voltage is insuffi- cient. When the voltage is sufficient again, it switches on again. When used on boats the cooling device can be subjected to a constant incli- nation of 30°. CoolMatic CB-36, CB-40 and CB-110 devices are equipped with a remova- ble cooling unit that can be mounted separately. 6 Installing and connecting the cooling device

6.1 Installing the cooling device

The device is designed for ambient temperatures between –10 °C and +32 °C. In continuous operation, the air humidity may not exceed 90 %. Install the cooling device in a dry, sheltered place (installation dimensions: fig. 1 to fig. 4, page 4). Avoid installing the devices next to heat sources such as heaters, gas ovens, hot water pipes, etc. The cooling device must be installed so that heated air from the cooling unit can dissipate easily. Therefore make sure there is adequate ventilation. On the CoolMatic CB-36, CB-40, CB-110 and RHD-50 devices, the cooling unit is removable and can be mounted at a distance of up to 1.5 m (CB-36, CB-40, RHD-50) up to 2.5 m (CB-110) away from the cooler if space is limited. _CB_RHD_Kühlboxen.book Seite 25 Mittwoch, 26.

6.2 Adapting the decor (only CB-36, CB-40, CB-110)

The lids of the devices can be adapted to match the decor of the surround- ings.

6.3 Connecting the cooling device

Connecting to a battery The cooling device can be operated with a 12 V to 24 V DC voltage supply.

Caution! To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance, the ca- ble should be kept as short as possible and should not be interrupt- ed 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 fig. 5, page 4. Key for fig. 5, page 4

Caution! Make sure that the polarity is correct. ➤ Connect the red lead to the positive terminal. ➤ Connect the black lead to earth. ➤ Before starting up the device for the first time, check whether the operat- ing voltage and the battery voltage correspond (see type plate). ➤ Connect the cooling device – 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. The cooling device is equipped with an electronic device to protect against reversing the polarity and short circuits when connecting to a battery. To protect the battery, the cooling device switches off automatically if the volt- age 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.

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 ground protection circuit breaker between the 230 V mains supply and the cooling device. Seek advice from a trained technician. ➤ To operate the cooler on a 230 V or 110–240 V mains supply, use the EPS-100W (230 V) or MPS-35 (110 – 240 V) rectifier. 12 V 24 V Switch-off voltage

Note Before starting your new cooling device 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 mainte- nance” on page 31).

7.1 Energy saving tips

Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against di- rect sunlight. Allow food to cool down first before placing it in the device. Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary. Do not leave the door or lid open for longer than necessary. Defrost the cooling device as soon as a layer of ice forms. Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures. Clean the condenser of dust impurities at regular intervals. Clean the lid seal regularly.

7.2 Using the cooling device

The cooling device conserves fresh foodstuffs. You can conserve frozen foodstuffs and freeze fresh foodstuffs in the CoolMatic CB-36 and CB-40 de- vices.

Caution! Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus de- stroy the glass containers. ➤ Switch the cooling device on by turning the knob to the right.

Note After switching on, the cooling device requires approx. 60 s until the compressor starts up.

Lock RHD-50 To open the cooling device, pull the clip (fig. 6 1, page 4) and open the door. To lock the cooling device, close the door and press it until the lock engages. CB-36/CB-40/CB-110 The lid rests on top and is not locked. Setting the temperature You can set the temperature to any level using the knob. The built-in temper- ature control 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/lid is opened. Conserving foodstuffs You can conserve foodstuffs in the cooling device 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 cooling device compartment. Do not place glass containers with liquid in the freezer compart- ment.

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. _CB_RHD_Kühlboxen.book Seite 29 Mittwoch, 26. Oktober 2011 1:21 13EN Operation CB-36, CB-40, CB-110, RHD-50

The cooling device compartment is divided in different zones with different temperatures: The colder zones are immediately over the base. Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food packaging. ➤ Observe the following when using the device: Do not re-freeze products which are 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 are better conserved. Defrosting the cooling device (only CB-36, CB-40) Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the vaporis- er. 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 cooling device, proceed as follows: ➤ Take out the contents of the cooling device. ➤ Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary. ➤ Set the knob to “0”. ➤ Leave the cover open. ➤ Wipe off the defrosted water. Switching off and storing the cooling device If you do not intend to use the cooling device for a long time, proceed as fol- lows: ➤ Turn the knob to “0”. ➤ Disconnect the power cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out of the rectifier. ➤ Clean the cooling device (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 31). ➤ Leave the lid or door open for to avoid unpleasant odours building up. _CB_RHD_Kühlboxen.book Seite 30 Mittwoch, 26.
