The scope of delivery for the DOMETIC CDF2 36 includes the following items:

1. One cooler unit.

2. One connection cable for DC connection.

3. Two handles.

The DOMETIC CDF2 36 is intended for cooling and deep-freezing foodstuff and is designed to be operated from a DC on-board power supply of a vehicle or boat, or from a DC auxiliary battery.

Suitable applications include:

Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments.

Farm houses.

Clients in hotels, motels, and other residential type environments.

Bed and breakfast type environments.

Catering and similar non-retail applications.

Use on vehicles, boats, and for camping use.

The device is not suitable for storing corrosive, caustic, or solvent-containing substances and is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

To fix the handles to the DOMETIC CDF2 36, you must attach them to the designated mounting points on the sides of the cooler. Once fixed, always ensure you carry the cooling device using both handles simultaneously to maintain balance and prevent injury or damage.

To connect the DOMETIC CDF2 36, plug the provided DC connection cable into the 12/24V DC socket on the device and connect the other end to a DC power source, such as a vehicle cigarette lighter or an auxiliary battery. For protection of the device, the supplied DC cable includes a fuse inside the plug. You must not remove the fused DC plug and should only use the DC cable supplied with the unit.

To maximize energy efficiency with the DOMETIC CDF2 36, follow these guidelines:

Choose a well-ventilated location protected from direct sunlight.

Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the device.

Avoid opening the cooling device more often than necessary.

To prevent injury or damage during sudden braking, the DOMETIC CDF2 36 must be fixed securely. You can fix the device using a safety seat belt or luggage tighteners. When using a seat belt, pass the belt through the integrated handle areas and ensure it is buckled and tensioned properly to hold the unit against the seat back.

Humidity can form frost on the evaporator, reducing cooling capacity. To defrost the DOMETIC CDF2 36:

1. Remove all contents from the cooler.

2. Place contents in another cooling device to keep them cold if necessary.

3. Switch off the device.

4. Leave the lid open.

5. Wipe off the defrosted water. Do not use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or loosen frozen objects.

To replace a defective fuse in the DC plug of the DOMETIC CDF2 36:

1. Unscrew the housing screw from the plug.

2. Remove the top part of the housing.

3. Lift the contact pin out of the housing.

4. Replace the defective fuse with a new one of the same type and rating (8A 32V).

5. Reassemble the plug in the reverse order and tighten the screw.

Before cleaning, ensure the DOMETIC CDF2 36 is disconnected from the power supply. Occasionally clean the device interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Never clean the device under running water or in dish water. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects. Ensure the air inlet and outlet vents are free of dust and dirt to allow heat to release properly.
