CFX3 Operation
27
7.10 Using the battery protection
The device is equipped with 3-stage battery protection. The battery protection pre-
vents excessive discharging when the device is connected to a vehicle starter battery
or maximises the use of a supply battery.
If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooler switches
off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooler will
switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
A
I
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. f, page 11).
7.11 Setting the display‘s brightness
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. g, page 11).
7.12 Switching on or off the compartments
(only CFX3 75DZ, CFX3 95DZ)
You can activate each zone individually or both of them.
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. h, page 12).
NOTICE! Damage hazard
When switched off by the battery protection, the battery will no longer
be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly. Ensure that the battery is
recharged.
NOTE
When the cooler is supplied by a starter battery, select the battery pro-
tection mode “MEDIUM“ or “HIGH”. If the cooler is connected to a
supply battery, the battery protection mode “LOW” is ideal.

Operation CFX3

7.13 Using the ice maker (only CFX3 55IM)
I
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. i, page 12).
Filling the ice trays with water
➤ Remove the ice trays (fig. j 1, page 13) from the ice maker housing (fig. j 2,
page 13).
➤ Remove the ice tray covers, fill with clean water and re-fit the cover, taking care to
press the edge seal all the way around.
➤ Re-position the ice trays in the ice maker housing and close the lid.
I
Removing the ice cubes
➤ Open the ice maker housing lid and lift under the front of the ice trays.
I
➤ Remove the ice tray covers and twist trays to release the ice cubes.
NOTE
• Independent of the main compartment‘s temperature setting, the
ice maker zone is designed for making ice cubes if the ice maker is
switched on.
• The cooler‘s energy consumption increases with ice maker on.
Therefore you should switch off the ice maker if it is not needed.
• The factory setting for the ice maker is OFF.
NOTE
Dry any water spillage from under the ice trays.
This will reduce ice build up under the trays and make removal easier.
NOTE
Removal may require additional force using two hands in high humidity
conditions which may create an ice bond underneath the ice trays.

CFX3 Operation

Removing the ice maker housing
The ice maker housing can be removed for cleaning or when not in use to increase
usable space inside the cooler:
➤ Lift the housing at one end until the lug unclips, then remove.
➤ Reverse procedure for re-fit, pushing down on lugs to snap into position.
Tips for using the ice maker
• The ice maker makes ice fast for a number of hours after switching on and then
automatically goes into an ice maintenance mode to reduce energy
consumption. If multiple batches of ice are required as quickly as possible,
switching the ice maker off and back on will set it back into fast ice making mode.
Repeat as required.
• Low freezer temperature settings in the main compartment may not be main-
tained in high ambient conditions with the ice maker switched on.
Cleaning and drying the ice maker
➤ When not in use clean and dry the ice trays and inside the ice maker housing to
prevent mould.
➤ Following extended periods of non-use clean the inside of the ice trays with a
mild dish washing solution and rinse with clean water prior to use.
7.14 Downloading the CFX3 app
The cooler can be monitored and controlled via Bluetooth or WiFi using an app that
you can install on a compatible device.
➤ Download the CFX3 app from App Store or Google Play.
Note that the CFX3 app may not be available in your country.

I
➤ Proceed as shown (fig. o, page 15).
7.21 Defrosting the cooler
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the evaporator. This
reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A
To defrost the cooler, proceed as follows:
➤ Take out the contents of the cooler.
➤ If necessary, place them in another cooling device to keep them cool.
➤ Switch off the device.
➤ Leave the lid open.
➤ Wipe off the defrosted water.
NOTE
Ensure that any small device connected to the USB port is compatible
with 5 V/2 A operation.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
