Hi, welcome to Snowys, my name's Kevin and I'm gonna talk
to you about the brand new range of fridges the CFX-3s.
This one in particular is a 35 litre.
It's an ideal fridge for short trips, weekends away,
for a couple or even small families.
Okay so let's look at the dimensions of this fridge.
Now overall you've got a length of 69.4,
you got a width of 39.8 and you got a height of 40.7.
Now on the end here we've got a couple of very strong
handles, all cast aluminium with the preview into plastic
and this is your weather-proof control panel
which I'll talk about a little bit later.
I'll just turn the fridge around.
It comes in at a weight of 16.9 kilos
and off course, on this end we've got the two power inlets.
You've got two cables, one for the AC and one for the DC.
For the AC, you just plug the plug straight into that way
for 240 volt and course, for the 12 volt plug
go straight into the other side, just lift that up,
plug it in that way and your way on 12 volts.
And off course, I'd also like to mention that on the end
of the 12 volt plug you've got a little fuse inside there
of 10 amp capacity, so have any problems
just unscrew the plug and replace the fuse.
So inside here we have the Dometic compressor,
it has a current draw of approximately .98th of an amp
with a maximum current draw of seven and a half amps.
Okay, so let's have a look at the top of the fridge.
I'll quickly spin it around.
Here we've got a very easy to use handle, just lift it up.
Open her up, now the fridge can be removed for ease
of cleaning, so I'll just give it a good pull off.
Stainless-steel hinges both sides
and to put 'em back on again, jut hit 'em back over
the top of the hinge, decent thump with the hand
and she's back on ready to use.
Now let's have a look at the inside of the fridge.
So in here you can see there's two sections,
a deeper section here and a shelf up there which sits
on top of the compressor.
We've got a basket which can be removed for ease of cleaning
and you've got the element that goes all the way around
the outside of the unit these days,
with a CSC3 polyurethane insulation.
Drain plug in the bottom and a LED light here just so you
can see at night.
Pop that back in again, that can carry 50 cans of drink
or a 1.25 litre bottle of coke,
or even a wine bottle.
Now depending on the height of the wine bottle,
you may not be able to shut the lid, this one we can
but if it's much taller than this one, you'll just have
to lie it down in the bottom.
So the materials used in this fridge are a polypropylene
exo-frame with an industrial strength insulation.
We've got a cast aluminium handle on each end as I mentioned
before and we've got stainless-steel hinges on the end here.
Now let's go and have a look at the control panel.
Now you can see it's currently at 24 degrees
because we've just turned it on but if we wanna change that,
what we do is we hit the OK button and you have
the temperature set.
Hit that again and we've got this set at 4 degrees.
Now I can either go up or down, depending on what
I'm wanting to set it at, and it has a range from 10 degrees
down to minus 18.
So I'll set that at OK, it will flash sometimes and go off.
We'll go down here, we have battery protection we'll talk
about in a minute,
and we also have Bluetooth and Wifi which means you can
run the phone controls from your phone
with an app you can download.
Over here we've got a display brightness and also
the temperature settings will be in
either Celsius of Fahrenheit.
I'll just go back to this back panel here and talk to you
about the battery protection.
If it hit the OK button, you can see I've got
low, medium and high.
Okay, I just wanna quickly explain the basics
of battery protection, we've got low, medium and high.
A low protection means it will turn the fridge off
at a lower voltage which means it will drain the battery
more which is good for perhaps an auxiliary battery.
For higher protection, it will turn itself off in a much
higher voltage which means there's still plenty
of power left in your battery to start your car.
Off course, medium is between there so you have to decide
which one you go for, depending on the size
of your starter motor battery and the size
of your auxiliary battery.
