Questions
How does the CFX2 45 compare with the other CFX2 sizes?
It is one of four CFX2 sizes, alongside the 28, 37 and 57 liter models, per Dometic. The 45 holds up to 60 cans of 12 oz, and Dometic sizes it for 4 to 5 people on weekend trips. It measures 26.7 by 15.8 by 19.4 inches and weighs 36.6 lb.
What do the error codes on the CFX2 45 display mean?
E01 means low voltage or over voltage, per Dometic's CFX2 manual, and the fix is to adjust the battery monitor mode and test and charge the starting battery if needed. E02 through E07 point to a fault in the fan, compressor, controller or temperature sensor, and the manual says those need authorized service.
How can I cut the CFX2 45's power use?
Dometic's CFX2 manual lists a few habits. Run it in a well ventilated spot out of direct sun, let warm food cool down before it goes in, and open the lid only as often and as long as needed. It also says to keep the basket in its delivery position, check now and then that the lid seal fits properly, and avoid needlessly low temperatures.
How is the CFX2 45 built?
Dometic builds it with reinforced corners for added protection and ABS folding handles for carrying, and calls the materials lightweight. A click shut latch helps keep the cold in, a drain system makes cleaning easier and an LED light helps at night. The control panel includes a USB port for charging small electronics.
What does the power LED on the CFX2 45 tell me?
It shows the compressor state, per Dometic's CFX2 manual. Solid white means the compressor is starting to run, and orange means it has stopped. A separate Bluetooth LED flashes slow white when Bluetooth is on but not paired, flashes fast white while pairing, and stays solid white once the cooler is paired with a compatible device.
Where should the CFX2 45 sit in a vehicle or at camp?
Somewhere fairly level with open air around it. Dometic's CFX2 manual says the cooler should not tilt more than 30 degrees, so the refrigerant can circulate, and suggests a spirit level. Leave ventilation space on all four sides, avoid closed compartments with little air flow, and keep it away from heat sources such as heaters and direct sun.
