5. Setup

5.1 Placement

  • Place the cooler on a stable, level surface.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Do not block the air vents.
  • Avoid placing the cooler in direct sunlight or near heat-emitting devices.

5.2 Power Connection

The Mobicool MCF40 can be powered by either DC (12/24V) or AC (100-240V).

  • DC Connection (12/24V): Connect the DC power cable to the cooler's DC input port and then to your vehicle's 12V or 24V socket. In many vehicles, the DC socket requires the ignition to be turned on to supply power. If the cooler does not power on, check your vehicle's ignition status.
  • AC Connection (100-240V): Connect the AC power cable to the cooler's AC input port and then to a standard wall outlet.
  • Ensure the connection is secure for stable operation.
