Frequently Asked Questions - 28-CBM-08Y MPM

How do I adjust the temperature on my MPM 28-CBM-08Y refrigerator?

The temperature is controlled by a thermostat dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn it clockwise to lower the temperature (colder) and counterclockwise to raise it (warmer). Typically, a medium setting (3-4) is recommended.

Why is my refrigerator making unusual noises?

Some noise is normal from the compressor and coolant flow. However, loud rattling may indicate the unit is not level. Adjust the leveling feet to stabilize it. Also ensure the back of the fridge does not touch the wall.

How do I reverse the door on my MPM fridge?

The door is reversible. To change the hinge side, unscrew the hinge brackets on top and bottom, remove the door, and reattach the brackets to the opposite side. Use the provided hinge covers to fill the old holes. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer compartment when ice build-up exceeds 3 mm (about every 3-6 months). Turn off the fridge, remove food, and let ice melt naturally. Do not use sharp tools to scrape ice.

What is the ideal temperature for storing food?

The refrigerator compartment should be at 4°C (39°F) and the freezer at -18°C (0°F). Use a thermometer to verify settings.

How do I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the fridge. Remove shelves and drawers, wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe interior with a solution of water and baking soda. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

The light inside the fridge is not working. What should I do?

First check if the door switch is stuck. If not, the LED bulb may need replacement. Contact MPM customer service for a compatible bulb. Do not attempt to replace with a non-LED bulb.

Can I store hot food directly in the fridge?

No, allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator. Hot food raises the internal temperature and increases energy consumption.

What does the 'child lock' feature do?

The child lock prevents accidental changes to the temperature settings. Activate it by pressing and holding a button (if present) or refer to the manual. It disables the control panel.

Where can I get spare parts for my MPM 28-CBM-08Y?

Spare parts are available through MPM authorized service centers. Visit the MPM website and enter your model number to locate a nearby service point. Always use genuine parts.

CAUTION! Health hazard!

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

NOTICE! Risk of damage

• Ensure that all objects placed in the cooler are suitable for cooling or heating (with the additional heating feature) to the selected temperature.
• Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively refrigerated. Drinks or liquid foods expand when they freeze and can therefore destroy the glass containers.
• Ensure that your cooler is well ventilated so that any heat created can dissipate. Otherwise proper functioning cannot be ensured. It is especially important not to cover the air vents and fan.

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 maintenance" on page 19).
A few water drops may form inside the cooler if it has been cooling for a lengthy period. This is normal because the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the cooler falls. The cooler is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth if necessary.

NOTE For coolers with fold in handles

If the handle is folded back or if the cooler is being carried, the lid is locked. You can only open the lid when the handle is folded forwards.

5.1. ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct sunlight.
If you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a limited cooling capacity for the cooler unit, use the cooler's ECO (for AC 230V supply) mode.
- Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the device to keep cool.
Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
Do not leave the cooler unit open for longer than necessary.
Remove individual drinks bottles through the bottle hatch, if present.

5.2. USING THE COOLER IN DC MODE

▶ Place the cooler on a firm base.
Connect the DC cable to the cigarette lighter or the DC socket in the vehicle.

▶ Push the switch on the control panel to HOT or COLD to switch the cooler on.

√ The indicators on the control panel show you the operating mode:

Operating display Operating mode

Red Heating

Green Cooling

√ The cooler starts cooling/heating the interior.
▶ To switch off the cooler,
- push the switch on the control panel from HOT or COLD to the OFF position,
- disconnect the plug.

5.3. USING THE COOLER IN AC MODE

▶ Place the cooler on a firm base.
Connect the 220-240 V connection cable to the AC mains.

▶ Push the switch on the control panel to HOT or COLD to switch the cooler on.
When the cooler is connected to a 220-240 V AC mains supply, it can be used in two different operating modes:
ECO mode (for AC 230V supply): the cooler consumes less energy
MAX mode: the cooler reaches maximum cooling capacity
√ The indicators on the control panel show you the operating mode:

Operating display Operating mode

Red Heating

Green Cooling

√ The cooler starts cooling/heating the interior.

To switch off the cooler, push the switch on the control panel from HOT or COLD to the OFF position.

ATTENTION! Do not switch directly from one operating mode into the other. If you would like to change the operating mode, turn the appliance off. Wait about 30 minutes before you switch it to the other operating mode.

5.4. CONNECTING TO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER

NOTE

If you connect the cooler to the cigarette lighter, remember that in most vehicles the ignition must be turned on to supply it with power.

ATTENTION! Do not connect both power cords at the same time - the refrigerator can be connected only to one power source.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

Always disconnect the device from the mains before you clean and service it.

NOTICE! Risk of damage

▶ 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.

▶ 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.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy

Your device is not working(plug is inserted).	There is no voltage flowing from the DC socket (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.	The ignition must be switched on in most vehicles to supply current to the cigarette lighter.
	No voltage present in the AC voltage socket.	Try using another plug socket.
	The inner fan or the cooling element is defective.	This can only be repaired by an authorised repair centre.
When operating from the DC socket (cigarette lighter):The ignition is on and the cooler is not working.	The fitting of the DC plug is dirty.This results in a poor electrical contact.	If the plug of your cooler becomes very warm in the DC socket fitting, either the fitting must be cleaned or the plug has not been assembled correctly.
	The fuse of the DC plug has blown. Replace the fuse of the DC plug with one of the same rating.
	The vehicle fuse has blown. Replace the vehicle's DC socket fuse (usually 15 A). Please refer to the operating manual of your vehicle.
