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. Defrost the cooling device once a layer of ice forms. Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.

6.3 Connecting the cooling device

The cooling device can be operated with DC or AC voltage.

For safety reasons the cooling device is equipped with an electronic system to prevent the polarity reversal. This protects the cooling device against short- circuiting when connecting to a battery. ➤ Plug the DC connection cable into the DC socket and connect it to a DC power socket or … ➤ … plug the AC connection cable into the AC voltage socket and connect it to an AC mains. ➤ Close the covers of the sockets not in use to prevent accidentally touching the sockets. This also prevents dust, water and dirt from entering the socket.

6.4 Using the battery monitor

The cooling device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the cooling device is connected to the DC power supply. NOTICE! Danger of damage! Disconnect the cooling device and other consumer units from the vehicle battery before you connect the vehicle battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the cooling device. FR34-FR40-FR60_MCF32-MCF40-MCF60_OPM_EMEA16.book Seite 12 Donnerstag, 13. Februar 2020 3:51 15EN

If the cooling device is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooling device switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooling device will switch back on once the vehicle battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.

In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and “MED” (see the following table). Proceed as follows to select the battery monitor mode: ➤ Switch on the cooling device. ➤ Press the “SET” button three times. ➤ Use the “+” and “–” buttons to select the battery monitor mode. ✓ The selected mode then appears in the display for a few seconds. The dis- play flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.

NOTICE! Danger of damage! When switched off by the battery monitor, the vehicle battery will no longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers without longer charging phases. Ensure that the vehicle battery is recharged. Battery monitor mode LOW MED HIGH Switch-off voltage at 12 V

6.5 Using the cooling device

➤ Place the cooling device on a firm foundation.

➤ Connect the cooling device, see chapter “Connecting the cooling device” on page 12.

➤ Press the “ON/OFF” button for between one and two seconds. ✓ The “POWER” LED lights up. ✓ The display switches on and shows the current cooling temperature.

✓ The cooling device starts cooling the interior.

NOTICE! Danger of overheating! Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the heat that generated during operation can dissipate. Ensure that the ven- tilation slots are not covered. Make sure that the cooling device is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate. NOTE Place the cooling device as shown (fig. 1, page 3). If you operate the cooling device in a different position it can be damaged. NOTICE! Danger from excessively low temperature! Ensure that only those objects are placed in the cooling device that are intended to be cooled at the selected temperature. NOTE The temperature displayed is that of the middle of the interior. The temperatures elsewhere can deviate from this temperature. NOTE When operating with the battery, the display switches off auto- matically if the battery voltage is low. The LED “POWER” flashes orange. FR34-FR40-FR60_MCF32-MCF40-MCF60_OPM_EMEA16.book Seite 14 Donnerstag, 13. Februar 2020 3:51 15EN

6.6 Latching the cooling device lid

➤ Lift the latch (fig. 1 1, page 3) and close the lid. ➤ Release the latch. ✓ The latch audibly clicks in place and secures the cooling device lid.

6.7 Setting the temperature

➤ Press the “SET” button once. ➤ Use the “+” and “–” buttons to select the cooling temperature. ✓ The cooling temperature appears in the display for a few seconds. The dis- play flashes several times and then the current temperature is displayed again.

6.8 Switching off the cooling device

➤ Empty the cooling device. ➤ Switch the cooling device off. ➤ Pull out the connection cable. If you do not want to use the cooling device for a longer period of time: ➤ Leave the lid slightly open. This prevents odour build-up.

6.9 Using the interior light (only MCF60)

➤ Ensure the display shows the actual temperature. ➤ Press the “–” button to switch the interior light on. ➤ Press the “–” button again to switch the interior light off. ✓ The black dot (fig. 2 8, page 3) in the upper left corner of the display indi- cates whether the interior light is switched on or off.

6.10 Defrosting the cooling device

Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the evapora- tor. This reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the cooling device in good time to avoid this.

To defrost the cooling device, proceed as follows: ➤ Take out the contents of the cooling device. ➤ If necessary, place them in another cooling device to keep them cool. ➤ Switch off the cooling device. ➤ Leave the lid open. ➤ Wipe off the defrosted water.

6.11 Replacing the fuse

➤ Replace the fuse (8 A 32 V) as shown (fig. 4, page 4). 7 Cleaning and maintenance

➤ 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. NOTICE! Danger of damage! Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects which have frozen in place. 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.

8 Guarantee The statutory warranty period applies. If the product is defective, please contact the manufacturer's branch in your country (see dometic.com/dealer) or your retailer. For repair and warranty processing, please include the following documents when you send in the device: A copy of the receipt with purchasing date A reason for the claim or description of the fault 9 Troubleshooting Fault Possible cause Suggested remedy The cooling device does not function, “POWER” LED does not glow. There is no voltage present in the DC power socket in your vehicle. The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles to apply current to the DC power socket. The cooling device does not cool (plug is inserted, “POWER” LED is lit). Defective compressor. This can only be repaired by an authorised customer services unit. The cooling device does not cool (plug is inserted, “POWER” LED flashes orange, dis- play is switched off). Voltage of the vehicle battery is too low. Test the vehicle battery and charge it as needed. When operating from the DC power socket: The ignition is on and the cooling device is not working and the “POWER” LED is not lit. The DC power socket is dirty. This results in a poor electrical contact. If the plug of your cooling device becomes very warm in the DC power socket, either the DC power socket must be cleaned or the plug has not been assembled correctly. The fuse of the DC plug has blown. Replace the fuse (8 A) in the DC plug, see chapter “Replacing the fuse” on page 16. The vehicle fuse has blown. Replace the vehicle’s DC power socket fuse (usually 15 A). Please refer to your vehicle’s operating manual. The display shows an error message (e.g. “Err1”) and the cooling device does not cool. The cooling device has switched off due to an internal fault. This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre. FR34-FR40-FR60_MCF32-MCF40-MCF60_OPM_EMEA16.book Seite 17 Donnerstag, 13.
