7.3 Connecting the refrigerator to the power supply

The refrigerator can be operated with a 12 Volt or 24 Volt DC voltage supply. 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). ➤ Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length according to fig. b, page 13. Key for fig. b, page 13

➤ Before starting up the device for the first time, check whether the operat- ing voltage and the battery voltage match (see type plate). NOTICE! To avoid voltage drops and loss of performance, keep the connection cable as short as possible and not be interrupted. Therefore avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips. Disconnect the cooling device and other electric consumers from the battery before you connect the battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device. 12 V 24 V Cut-off voltage

➤ Connect the refrigerator – as directly as possible to the poles of the battery or – to a plug socket which is fuse protected with at least 15A (at 12volts) or 7.5A (at 24volts). 8 Using the refrigerator

Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight. Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool. Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary. Do not leave the doors 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. 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 52).EN HDC195, HDC225 Using the refrigerator

The fridge conserves fresh foodstuffs. You can also conserve frozen food- stuffs in the freezer compartment.

➤ Switch the refrigerator on by turning the temperature control (fig. 1 10 page 3) away from the “0” position. ✓ After switching on, the refrigerator requires approx. 180 seconds until the compressor starts up. Setting the temperature You can set the temperature to any level using the temperature control (fig. 1 10, page 3). The built-in thermostat regulates the temperature as follows: 1 = lowest cooling capacity 5 = highest cooling capacity Generally, a setting in the middle is the most suitable.

CAUTION! Health hazard! Never put any items back in the freezer compartment which have started defrosting or have been defrosted; consume them as soon as possible. Make sure that you only put items in the refrigerator which may be kept at the selected temperature. NOTICE! Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not exces- sively refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy glass containers. NOTE The cooling performance can be affected by: the ambient temperature the amount of food to be conserved the frequency with which the door is opened.EN Using the refrigerator HDC195, HDC225

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.

➤ Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food packaging. ➤ 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. – Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight containers. – Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in a suitable box with a lid. This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness will be better conserved.

8.3 Dividing the interior space

You can divide the interior space of the refrigerator variably by arranging the shelves and the door compartments according to your needs. Arranging the shelves (fig. c, page 14) ➤ Lift the shelf up at the back and pull it towards the front until the front part slides out of the guides. ➤ Lift the shelf and pull it out completely while tilted slightly. ➤ Select the required position and guide the shelf back in by proceeding in the reverse sequence. Arranging the door compartments (fig. d, page 14) ➤ Press the door compartments into the required position. NOTICE! Do not conserve warm foodstuffs in the refrigerator. Do not place glass containers containing liquid in the freezer compartment.EN HDC195, HDC225 Using the refrigerator

8.4 Replacing the interior light

If the interior light in the refrigerator is defective, you can change the bulb (LED bulb, E14, 12/24 Volts, 1.2 watts). HDC195 To do this, proceed as follows (fig. e, page 15): ➤ Disconnect the power supply. ➤ Press the moving part to detach the light cover (1). ➤ Take off the light cover (2). ➤ Replace the bulb with a new one. ➤ Attach the light cover. ➤ Reconnect the refrigerator to the power. HDC225 To do this, proceed as follows (fig. f, page 15): ➤ Disconnect the power supply. ➤ Undo the screws in the light cover. ➤ Remove the cover. ➤ Unscrew the bulb from the socket. ➤ Screw the new bulb into the socket. ➤ Attach the light cover. ➤ Reconnect the refrigerator to the power.EN Using the refrigerator HDC195, HDC225

Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser. This reduces the cooling capacity. The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically while the compressor is not running. A slight layer of frost or water droplets could form in the interior of the refrigerator if it has been cooling for longer periods. This is normal because the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the refrig- erator drops. The refrigerator is not defective. The condensate drains away through a trough into a special container at the back of the unit via the compressor, where it evaporates. ➤ Wipe the insides of the refrigerator with a dry cloth as required. If the layer of frost is thicker than 3 mm, you should defrost the freezer compartment. NOTE In high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator may operate continuously, which can lead to excessive formation of frost on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. If this is the case, turn the temperature control (fig. 1 10, page 3) down to a lower level (“1” or “2”).EN HDC195, HDC225 Using the refrigerator

Defrosting the freezer compartment

To defrost the freezer compartment, proceed as follows: ➤ Empty the contents. ➤ If necessary, put them in another cooling device to keep them chilled. ➤ Disconnect the power supply. ➤ Leave the ice to defrost. ➤ Once the ice has melted completely, clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 52). ➤ Reconnect the refrigerator to the power. ➤ Run the refrigerator for approx. three hours at level “5”. ➤ Place the goods for cooling in the refrigerator. ➤ Set the temperature control to the desired level.

8.6 Switching off and storing the refrigerator

If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows: ➤ Switch the refrigerator off by turning the temperature control (fig. 1 10, page 3) to the “0” position. ➤ Disconnect the connection cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out of the rectifier. ➤ Clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 52). ➤ Leave the door slightly open. This prevents smells from building up. NOTICE! Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to free objects frozen onto the device. This can damage the refrigerator.EN Cleaning and maintenance HDC195, HDC225
