I have just bought an Engel MT35F and plugged it in to cool it down. Motor started up but on the 5 setting it seems to have got no cooler after a number of hours running . Am I doing something wrong?

Hi beckbits,
If your Engel MT35F wont cool down, it is often caused by insufficient voltage from the power source. To correct this problem, please follow the steps below.
1. To start your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob to "ON". Your refrigerator should start operating. The interior should start getting cool to touch within a minutes.
2. The D.C. power cord is made for negative (-) ground system. Your refrigerator has a high current protection system incorporated in the electronic circuit to prevent damage to its power supply, which may occur due to a reverse connection.
3. If your refrigerator does not operate and the power lamp does not go on, you may have connected the refrigerator with the incorrect polarity. You may also have blown a fuse in the cigarette lighter plug. Have insufficient voltage from the power source or a problem may exist in the inverter, so call your ENGEL dealer for advice.
4. For MT35F-U1 a fuse is located in the cigarette lighter plug body of the D.C. cord (provided with the refrigerator), and if the fuse blows, replace the glass fuse with a new 10 Amp fuse.
5. You may also check the dial setting. Refrigerating temperature can be controlled by means of the thermostat control knob. The interior temperature drops as the knob position is changed from "1" ("REFRIGERATOR") to "5" ("FREEZE"). In this way, interior temperature can be regulated freely.
5. When it is desired to preserve frozen food, set the thermostat control knob at "3, 4 or 5" ("FREEZE"). To switch off your refrigerator, set the thermostat control knob to "OFF". The knob does not turn clockwise beyond "5" ("FREEZE").
6. Be sure the power supply polarity is correct. In the event that the green refrigerator light fails to glow inspect the power source for proper voltage and correct polarity. The inner contact point of the DC power source adapter must be positive and the outer contact negative (ground).
