(excitable hip hop music)
Hi, I'm Kevin, and welcome to Snowys Outdoors.
Today I'm gonna talk to you about
the CFX3 75 Litre Dual Zone Fridge Freezer.
The first thing you'll notice
is of course, it's got two lids.
That's because it has two compartments.
Both of these compartments can be operated
either as a fridge or a freezer,
or both fridges and both freezer.
All right, let's have a quick look
inside these fridges.
Now, you've got two compartments,
40 litres in that one,
35 in the other,
total of 75 litre capacity.
Both have got baskets which are easily removed,
you can take them out.
Easy for cleaning.
You've got a little bung in the bottom there,
so that you can drain the fridge
if you've got water in it.
Pop that on back in.
We also got a divider here,
which allows you to divide the food in the basket.
And, in this side, it's the same sorta thing,
You've got a basket in the top,
and a basket in the bottom.
And, once again, a little bung down the bottom
to allow the fridge to drain.
Now, the walls are made with an insulation
of CFC3 polyurethane,
and of course, you've lights on both ends,
which come on when the lid opens.
All up, you can put about 113 cans of drink in here,
and quite easy put in a tall bottle of Coke,
or a bottle of wine.
And just close the fridge down, and you're set to go.
I just wanna show you how easy it is now to remove the lid,
this helps you with the cleaning.
Now, all you have to do is get ahold of the lid,
and just firmly bend it backwards,
and it comes off quite easily.
You've got two stainless steel hinges here,
and you've got stainless steel pins in there,
which you can easily put the lid back on again,
by slotting them back over the pins,
a decent bump with the hand.
(banging)
On both sides.
And you can close the lid down.
The fridge has an exo frame of polypropylene,
and on the outside here,
you've got cast aluminium handles,
which are very strong and ideal for tying it down.
The dimensions of this fridge
are that they 89.2 centimetres long,
we've got a width of 49.5 centimetres,
and a height of 47.2.
And, it has a weight of 27.8 kilos.
In here, you've got the Dometic compressor.
It usually runs about 3.8 amps,
with a maximum draw of 9.6 amps.
You've got two power inlets here.
One is for the mains power,
and the other is for the 12 volt.
Now, for the mains power,
it simply plugs in like so.
And, of course, for the 12 volt plug,
once again, it just plugs in very easily into there.
And on the end of the 12 volt plug,
you've got a little fuse in there,
so if you happen to blow a fuse,
it's just very easy to unscrew the end,
take the fuse out, and replace it.
Okay, at this end of the fridge,
we've got the control panel.
Just a couple of simple things,
I want to show you first.
First of all, you've got a little USB port here,
which'll charge up your phone,
or some other device,
off the fridge while it's running.
Now, this fridge will run at a temperature rating
between 10 degrees and -22,
depending on what you've got it set at.
Now, we'll just run through the control panel.
Just got to have a little bit
of a playaround with it.
I've got to admit, I'm not an expert on this part.
As you've got here,
you can see I've got both sides of them operating.
That's the current temperature inside the fridge.
If I go OK, it goes back up to set temperature.
Now, what we need to do first of all,
is go down until we have zone control.
Turn that on, now here you can choose
to have them both on, just the large one on,
or just the small one on.
So, we'll show you the one where the both on,
push OK.
And this will go back up to set temperature, OK,
and you can see now we've got both compartments here.
Depending on if I push that button, or that button,
you can see it switching from one to the other.
The one with the blue which is on temperature altering.
I can go down, or up, depending.
Push OK.
It flashes.
Back to set temperature.
Push OK again, you can see them both
brought up on the screen there.
Once again, I push the button down,
this time I want that one to be altered.
So, I hit OK, there's the temperature,
I can go down once again, or up,
push OK, and there it is, back into set temperature.
I go back down even further to zone control again,
OK, both on.
Here I can actually swap it
and go down to the large one on.
Or, the small one.
I'll just show you the large one for now.
Push in OK, goes back up to set temperature,
OK again, you can see just one is illuminated,
which means that's the large compartment altered.
I can now go down, or up with temperature, push OK.
And that's the temperature set.
One of the other things I want to show you quickly,
is the battery protection.
If I go down to the battery protection symbol,
hit OK, you can see I've got low, medium and high.
Now, I can move that to low, to medium, or high.
Which means low protection, medium protection,
or high protection.
Click OK, and that's what the fridge is now set to.
I just want to quickly
talk to you about battery protection.
Now, as I showed you on the control panel,
there are three levels, low, medium and high.
Low protection means low voltage,
which means the fridge will cut out
at a much lower voltage from your battery.
High protection means high voltage,
which means it will cut out
at a much higher rate of voltage.
That'll be great for say,
your starter motor of your car,
so you don't run out of power,
the next day you're not gonna have a flat battery.
Medium protection, well,
that depends on what you've got in there
as a battery, how old the battery is,
what its capacity is, you'll need to work that out,
and see which is the best for you.
