It features upgraded insulation with Vacuum Insulated Panels for superior efficiency and reduced power consumption. The VMSO 3.5 auto-adjusting compressor delivers better performance and operates up to 5 dB quieter. It also has a weatherproof high-resolution display with fast-charging USB. Larger sizes come with carbon steel reinforcements for extra durability. If you’re looking for top-tier cooling on your adventures, the CFX5 is the way to go!IS IT EASY TO CLEAN AN ELECTRIC COOLER? – Yes, cleaning your CFX electric cooler is simple. Just wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces with a mild cleaning solution and a towel. Regular cleaning helps maintain the hygiene and longevity of your cooler.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CFX2, CFX3, CFX5? – The CFX5 is our most advanced cooler compared to the CFX2 and CFX3 models.

The correct fuse size is indicated on the 12V Plug label.HOW DO I SWAP THE LID DIRECTION ON THE CFX 55IM / CFX 75DZ / CFX 95DZ / CFX 100? – Simply open the lid in a continuous motion through the end point of the hinge. The lid will pop right off. Remove the hinge socket dress discs on the other side, use a 4mm Allen Key tool to remove the hinge pins and swap to the other side, then re-fit the dress discs to the original hinge side.If you have a CFX protective cover installed, you do not need to remove it. WHAT IS THE PASSWORD TO CONNECT FOR THE FIRST TIME, OR AFTER RESETTING TO FACTORY SETTINGS? – The factory default password is 8 zeros: 00000000 DOMETIC’S SPECS CALL OUT RATED CURRENT AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE AND HOW DO I CALCULATE HOW MUCH POWER A CFX WILL DRAW? – The energy consumption specification is the average amount of ampere hours (Ah) that the unit will use on 12V for a given ambient and set internal temperature. To figure out how long the CFX will operate on a 12V battery, simply divide the battery’s usable Ah capacity (See Battery Capacity Chemistry Note) by the CFX’s average energy consumption (Ah/h) to get approximate number of hours it will run. Battery Chemistry Note: lead-acid batteries have a 50% usable capacity of the stated Ah capacity, lithium NMC’s are roughly 80% and lithium iron phosphates lime the Dometic PLB batteries are nearly 100%. The Rated Input Current is the maximum current input that the unit is rated. Think of this as the maximum current that the unit would ever draw. This spec is applicable for wiring if you are doing a DIY electrical setup. We recommend using 12 AWG wiring in any DIY setup. Also, check out our upcoming tech page for more power consumption specs at different ambient and internal temperatures to get a feel for how much power your CFX will need at different temperatures.MY CFX3 SAYS “!ALERT – VOLTAGE LOW” EVEN THOUGH ITS PLUGGED IN. WHAT DO I DO? – Your CFX has a 3-stage battery protection system that actively monitors inbound DC voltage and will turn off the cooler if it senses low voltage. This feature is designed primarily to prevent the cooler from draining your vehicle’s starter battery and leaving you stranded while out on the road. It also prevents damage to accessory batteries. The battery protection system has three levels: we recommend High or Medium for applications where the CFX is running from your starter battery, and Low when its running from an accessory or dual battery.If your battery protection is set to a recommended setting and the CFX still won’t turn on, try setting the system to one level lower – eg from High to Med. Do not use splitters, pigtails or extensions. Each of these can create more line loss (DC voltage decreases along the length of a cable) which will cause lower voltage at the socket.NOTE: When electricity (current) flows from a battery, the voltage of the battery reduces. This is known as Peukert’s Law, and commonly referred to as the voltage when battery is “under load”. This is important to understand when troubleshooting voltage issues because the CFX is not using the “no load” battery voltage for the 3-stage battery protection system, but rather the voltage when the compressor is running, and battery is under load. This means that your vehicle battery may read a full 12.8V at the terminals,WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES FOR REFRIGERATING AND FREEZING? We recommend 5F for freezing and 39F for refrigeration for optimized performance vs energy consumption. Note – even small increases/decreases in internal temperature settings can affect energy consumption.CAN THE CFX KEEP FOOD WARM IN COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES? No, the CFX models cannot actively keep things warm, but if switched off they will keep food from freezing for some time due to the insulation.     Notes: This part may be considered a Special Order if custom-made, low volume, or not something we generally stock.
