Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are standing
on a wet surface.
Caution – Danger of electrocution!
If you are operating your cooler on board a boat from a mains
connection of 100–240 V AC, you must install a residual current circuit
breaker between the 100–240 V AC mains and the cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
CF-35, CF-40, CF-50, CF-60
The coolers CF-35, CF-40, CF-50, CF-60 have an integrated multi-voltage
power supply with priority circuit for connecting to an AC voltage source
of 100–240 V. The priority circuit automatically switches the cooler to
mains operation, if the device is connected to a 100–240 V AC mains,
even if the 12/24 V connection cable is still attached.
When switching between the AC mains and the battery supply, the red
LED may light up briefly.
➤Plug the 100 – 240 V connection cable (Fig. 13, page 4) into the
AC voltage socket and connect it to the 100 – 240 V AC voltage
mains (only CF-35, CF-40, CF-50, CF-60).
