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. A The refrigerator can be operated with a 12 V or 24 V 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). 2 V ➤ Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the cable length according to fig. ž Before starting up the device for the first time, check whether the operating voltage and the battery voltage match (see type plate). März 2017 9:40 21 Using the refrigerator HDC195, HDC225 ➤ 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 12 V) or 7. 8 Using the refrigerator 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 30). 1 Energy saving tips • 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. [. . . ] I Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser. 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 refrigerator drops. [. . . ]
