Waeco CF 80

I got my new CF 80 on Friday and took it away for the last three days.

Initially I set it up with the divders as a Fridge and Freezer to see how it went. It was holding -11 in the freezer and +4 in the fridge and it used a lot of power. My best estimate was (using a multi meter as a guide) an average of 5 amps/hour. The freezer compartment was only one third full and the fridge about 60%.

After a day and a half I removed the dividers and ran it as all fridge. This certainly reduced the power draw as it wasn't trying to keep a section at -11. I find with it set up this way it runs at -1.5 right down the freezer end and +4.5 at the far end, with varying temperatures in between. This is on light 3 with the power switch in the low mode. Now this is great, super cold beer down one end with the food that may freeze down the other kept at a more realistic "fridge" temp.

Anyone able to advise on power usage as a fridge and freezer? Will it work substantially better if the freezer is chockers?

Cheers,

Jim.
