If you wish to operate the cooling device with a 230 V AC mains supply, please use
one of the following rectifiers:
6 Technical description
CoolMatic CB36, CB40 and RHD50 cooling devices are suitable for use with a 12 V
or 24 V DC voltage and can therefore also be used for camping or on boats. You can
also use the EPS-100W and MPS-35 rectifiers to connect them to a 230 V mains
supply.
The cooling device can chill products and keep them cool. CoolMatic CB36 and
CB40 devices can also be used to freeze products.
All materials used in the cooling device are compatible for use with foodstuffs.
The refrigerant circuit is maintenance-free.
You can use the continuously variable thermostat in the interior of the device to set
the desired temperature.
The cooling device has a undervoltage protection mechanism. To protect the
battery, the cooling device switches off automatically if the voltage is insufficient.
When the voltage is sufficient again, it switches on again.
When used on boats the cooling device can be subjected to a constant inclination
of 30°.
CoolMatic CB36 and CB40 devices are equipped with a removable cooling unit
that can be mounted separately.

7 Installing and connecting the cooling
device
7.1 Installing the cooling device
The device is designed for ambient temperatures between –10 °C and +32 °C. In
continuous operation, the air humidity may not exceed 90 %.
Install the cooling device in a dry, sheltered place (installation dimensions: fig. 1to
fig. 3, page 3). Avoid installing the devices next to heat sources such as heaters,
gas ovens, hot water pipes, etc.
The cooling device must be installed so that heated air from the cooling unit can
dissipate easily. Therefore make sure there is adequate ventilation.
On the CoolMatic CB36, CB40 and RHD50 devices, the cooling unit is removable
and can be mounted at a distance of up to 1.5 m (CB36, CB40, RHD50) away from
the cooler if space is limited.
7.2 Adapting the decor (only CB36, CB40)
The lids of the devices can be adapted to match the decor of the surroundings.
7.3 Connecting the cooling device
Connecting to a battery
The cooling device can be operated with a 12 V to 24 V DC voltage supply.
ANOTICE!
To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance, the cable
should be kept as short as possible and should not be interrupted if this
is possible.
For this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.

➤Connect the cooling device
– As directly as possible to the pole of the battery or
– To a plug socket which is fused with at least 15 A (at 12 V) or 7.5 A (at 24 V).

The cooling device is equipped with an electronic device to protect against
reversing the polarity and short circuits when connecting to a battery.
To protect the battery, the cooling device switches off automatically if the voltage is
insufficient (see table below).

8.1 Energy saving tips
•Choose a well ventilated installation location which is protected against direct
sunlight.
•Allow food to cool down first before placing it in the device.
•Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
•Do not leave the door or lid open for longer than necessary.
•Defrost the cooling device as soon as a layer of ice forms.
•Avoid unnecessarily low temperatures.
•Clean the condenser of dust impurities at regular intervals.
•Clean the lid seal regularly.
DANGER! Danger of fatal injuries!
•Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing in a puddle.
•If you are operating your cooling device on board a boat with a mains
connection of 230 V from the land, you must install a ground
protection circuit breaker between the 230 V mains supply and the
cooling device.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
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 15).

A
Lock
RHD50
To open the cooling device, pull the clip (fig. 51, page 4) and open the door.
To lock the cooling device, close the door and press it until the lock engages.
CB36/CB40
The lid rests on top and is not locked.
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature to any level using the knob. The built-in temperature
control regulates the temperature as follows:
•Min. (left limit) = warmest setting
•Max. (right limit) = coldest setting
I
NOTICE!
Ensure that food or liquids in glass containers are not excessively
refrigerated. Liquids expand when they freeze and can thus destroy the
glass containers.
NOTE
After switching on, the cooling device requires approx. 60 s until the
compressor starts up.
NOTICE!
Ensure that the objects placed in the cooling device are suitable for
cooling to the selected temperature.
NOTE
The cooling capacity can be influenced by
•the ambient temperature,
•the amount of food to be conserved,
•the frequency with which the door/lid is opened.

Conserving foodstuffs
You can conserve foodstuffs in the cooling device compartment. The time for which
the food can be conserved in this way is usually stated on the package.
A
I
The cooling device compartment is divided in different zones with different
temperatures:
•The colder zones are immediately over the base.
•Observe the temperature information and best before date on the food
packaging.
➤Observe the following when using the device:
•Do not re-freeze products which are defrosting or have been defrosted,
consume them as soon as possible.
•Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and shut in in a suitable box with a lid.
This ensures that aromas, the shape and the freshness are better conserved.
Defrosting the cooling device (only CB36, CB40)
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the vaporiser. This
reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A
To defrost the cooling device, proceed as follows:
➤Take out the contents of the cooling device.
➤Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary.
➤Set the knob to “0”.
➤Leave the cover open.
NOTICE!
Do not conserve warm food in the cooling device compartment.
Do not place glass containers with liquid in the freezer compartment.
NOTE
Food which can easily absorb tastes and odours and liquids and
products with a high alcohol content should be conserved in air-tight
containers.
NOTICE!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.

➤Wipe off the defrosted water.
Switching off and storing the cooling device
If you do not intend to use the cooling device for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤Turn the knob to “0”.
➤Disconnect the power cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out of the
rectifier.
➤Clean the cooling device (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 15).
➤Leave the lid or door open for to avoid unpleasant odours building up.
9 Cleaning and maintenance
!
A
➤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.
➤Make sure that no water drips into the sealing. This can damage the electronics.
➤Wipe the cooling device dry with a cloth after cleaning.
WARNING!
Always disconnect the device from the power supply 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.
