children without supervision.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans
with a flammable propellant in this refrigerator.
• Never expose the refrigerator to rain.
• The refrigerator is suitable for camping use.
• Do not put a water-filled container. Water if spilled will
degrade the insulation of electric components and may lead
to a fire from electric leak.
• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced to prevent the
possibility of electric shock. It must be replaced with a new
cord (ENGEL genuine products).
• Do not touch the inside and other metal parts of the cabinet
with wet hands, as this may cause frostbit.
• Do not contact metal part with positive terminal of battery.
• Cyclopentane is used as in the insulation. The gases in
insulation material require a special disposal procedure with
the applicable disposal regulations.
• Never disassemble the refrigerator by yourself. Inadequate
repairs may lead to considerable hazards.
• To avoid burnout of wiring from battery to the refrigerator
when a short circuit, install 10A fuse in the wiring circuit,
nearby the battery.
•This refrigerator runs on both AC i.e. from wall outlet and DC
such as battery. Do not attempt to run it on any voltage
above the specified voltage, nor use it with any power source
not specified here. Failing to comply will result in product
failure or lead to a fire.
• When operating on AC, do not plug in to an extension cable
or put too many plugs into one socket. Failure to comply will
result in electric shock or a fire.
• When operating on AC, be sure to plug in securely. Poor
connection will result in electric shock or a fire.
• Clean the AC cord plug to remove dust from the terminals
and their base. Dust on the plug will lead to a fire or electric
shock from degraded insulation.

the refrigerator or its cable plug. Open the windows and
maintain good ventilation. Failing to do so may lead to a fire
and/or a burn from explosion.
• When operating on a floor, securely fix the refrigerator so
that it would not fall and cause injuries when encountering
vibration such as earth quake.
• While the refrigerator is in operation, do not use a quick
charger to charge the battery that is supplying power to the
refrigerator. The high voltages generated from the charger
may damage the refrigerator and lead to a fire.
• Do not damage or modify or bend hard or pull or twist or
bundle the power cable. Do not have the power cable
caught under or pinched with heavy objects. Doing so may
damage the cable and possibly lead to a fire or electric
shock.
• Do not use the refrigerator if its power cable is damaged or
the catch of its plug is loose. Failing to comply may lead to
an electric shock or short or fire.
• Do not use the refrigerator near a heated object or gas
equipment. Doing so not only reduces cooling performance
but would cause a fire when leakage of the utility gas.

• Disconnect the refrigerator from the AC before cleaning and
servicing it as well as after each use.
• Do not put living things such as pets in the refrigerator.
• Do not attempt to open or close the refrigerator door while
driving a car. It may lead to an accident due to distracted
driving.
• This refrigerator is suitable for cooling food. If you wish to
cool medicines, check if the cooling capacity of the
refrigerator is enough.
• Never use a battery charger or transformer or rectifier or
battery eliminator or AC/DC converter to power the
refrigerator. Doing so may damage the refrigerator.
• Never connect the refrigerator directly to an engine
generator set regardless of whether its output is AC or DC.
Doing so will lead to poor cooling and may also damage the
refrigerator due to the high voltages and surge pulse from
the generator set. Utilize an automatic voltage regulator for
the refrigerator. Contact your ENGEL dealer if there is any
question regarding the use of engine generator set to power
the refrigerator.
• Do not put a bagged cold pack whose inner material is
leaking. Some of off-the-shelf bagged ice packs contain a
type of chemical that corrodes the metal parts of the
refrigerator. If such chemical is spilled in the refrigerator
interior, wipe it off with a wet, soft cloth and wipe off again
with a dry cloth.
• It is recommended to turn off the refrigerator when the
vehicle engine is shut off so as to keep the battery from
running out.
• Take extra caution when transporting the refrigerator.
• Check if the voltage noted on the type plate on the
refrigerator matches the one applied by an external power
source.
• If the voltage at the DC input terminals of the refrigerator
falls below 11V, cooling performance will immediately
decrease. Always keep the battery in good condition to
ensure it is fully charged.
• If used onboard a vehicle, fix the refrigerator firmly to the
interior of the vehicle. Failing to do so may lead to injuries
from a falling or moving fridge during abrupt acceleration and
breaking.
• Never use this refrigerator inside a refrigerated compartment
of a refrigeration truck, where condensation easily occurs
and water would drip onto the refrigerator and damage it.
• Careful putting glass bottles in the refrigerator.This may
result in breakage of bottles due to external shock or
vibration.
• Do not set the temperature setting knob at “5” except when
storing frozen products such as frozen food, ice cream and
ice. Doing so may result not only in beverages being
undrinkable but explosion of cans and possible injuries.
• Do not use a knife, a driver or any sharp object to remove
frost from the refrigerator.
• Do not pour water in the refrigerator. Doing so will result in
failure from water ingress into the insulation material or
mechanical and electrical components. If water collects in
the cabinet, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
• The refrigerator needs an adequate ventilation for optimized
cooling performance. Insufficient space between the
refrigerator and adjacent walls may reduce the cooling
performance.
• Food shall be kept in its original package or put in other
suitable container when stored in the refrigerator.
• Overstuffing the refrigerator will result in insufficient cooling
from poor circulation of cool air and may spoil the stored
foods. Keep some spaces between the foods.
• Hot or warm food such as boiled product shall be stored
after it gets cool enough.
• It is recommended to pack watery food or products with
excessive fragrance when putting in the refrigerator.
• Pre-cool the food and drinks before putting into the
refrigerator. This refrigerator is not capable of cooling food
and drink in a short time. It is also recommended to pre-cool
inside the refrigerator cabinet before putting in any food.
• When the refrigerator is in operation, do not touch food or its
containers, especially those made of metal, stored there with
a wet hand. Doing so may lead to frostbite or other injury.

7. Maintenance of refrigerator
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the power source before
you clean or service it.
Never use a brush, powder soap, cleanser, acid, benzene,
gasoline, or mineral thinners to clean the refrigerator, as these
tend to leave scratches on the plastic coating and painting.
Due to the humidity within the cabinet, frost will form on the
evaporator surface after it has been used for a while.
Frost with as thick as 6mm or more (1/4in) will reduce cooling
efficiency. To avoid this, the evaporator needs to be defrosted
regularly.
To defrost, turn off and unplug the refrigerator to allow for complete
removal of frost from the evaporator.
• Clean the interior with a cloth moistened with warm water and wipe
again with a dry cloth.
• Clean the door of the refrigerator with a wet cloth.
• Clean the interior condenser to remove dirt (dust etc.) at regular
intervals.
