• This refrigerator can be used by children age 8 and above 

and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental 

capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have 

been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of 

the refrigerator in a safe way and understand the hazards 

involved. 

• Children shall not play with the refrigerator. Always keep and 

use the refrigerator out of the reach of children. 

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by 

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 frostbite. 

• Do not contact metal parts 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 a 10A fuse in the wiring circuit, 

nearby the battery. 

• Use the DC cord originally accompanying the refrigerator 

when operating it on DC. Be sure to fully insert the cigarette 

lighter plug into the socket. Failure to do so may lead to 

distortion of the socket and/or a fire due to overheating from 

loose connection. 

• When replacing a fuse equipped inside the cigarette lighter 

socket, always use the Engel-exclusive fuse for replacement. 

Never use a wire or a lead instead. Doing so may lead to a 

fire from overheating. 

• The fuse equipped inside the cigarette lighter plug has a 

direction indicated by the arrow printed on it. Make sure the 

arrow points to the right direction when replacing the fuse. 

Failing to do so would not let the fuse to blow when 

overheating, resulting in deformation of the plug and/or a fire. 

• When the cigarette lighter plug comes in contact with water 

or salty substance, be sure to thoroughly wipe it off. Take 

extra caution when wiping off the head terminal of the plug. 

Water and salty substance, if remained on the tip of the 

cigarette lighter plug, will result in rust, causing poor 

conductivity and abnormal overheating and possibly lead to 

deformation of the plug and/or a fire. 

• Do not touch the metal tip of the cigarette lighter plug. The 

whole body of the cigarette lighter plug becomes hot during 

operation even if the plug is securely inserted into the 

socket. The metal tip in particular will become hot enough to 

burn your finger. 

• 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. 

• Do not attempt to hang on the refrigerator door. Do not sit on 

the refrigerator while the door is open. Doing so may lead to 

injuries due to tumbled refrigerator or your fingers being 

caught in the door. 

• Do not put heavy objects on the refrigerator. Doing so may 

lead to injury from falling objects when the door opens. 

• Be sure that no part of the refrigerator body is pushing its 

power cable to bend it hard. The cable, when bent hard, may 

get damaged and lead to overheating and a fire.

When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is 

not trapped or damaged.

Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable 

power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

• Avoid using flammable sprays near the refrigerator. The 

electrical contacts may catch a fire. 

• When using the refrigerator in a trunk of the car, keep 

adequate ventilation. Failing to do so may overheat and 

damage the refrigerator and possibly lead to a fire. 

• Do not store objects that require precise temperature control 

such as medicine and scientific specimens. This refrigerator 

is not suited to store such types of objects. 

• When there is a leak of utility gas around you, do not touch 

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.

• Disconnect the refrigerator from the AC before cleaning and 

servicing it as well as after each use. 

• Pay due attention to the polarity of the cigarette lighter plug; 

the center terminal must be connected to the positive line 

while the side contacts to the negative or earth. 

• Be careful not to drop the refrigerator when carrying it. The 

refrigerator will be damaged if dropped and may also lead to 

injuries of yourself.

• Do not put fingers between the lid and body of the 

refrigerator. Doing so may lead to injuries when the door 

closes. 

• 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. 

• The pair of handles accompanying the refrigerator shall be 

securely fixed to the refrigerator. Poor installation may lead 

unexpectedly dropping the refrigerator during transportation, 

which may result in damage to or failure of the refrigerator 

and possible cause of injuries. 

• 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 

• 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. 

CAUTION

vehicle engine is shut off so as to keep the battery from 

running out. 

• Take extra caution when transporting the refrigerator. 
• If you wish to install and continuously use the refrigerator in a 

vehicle for commercial purposes, permanent vehicle 

installation and wiring is recommended as it would keep the 

cigarette lighter plug from being overheated and deformed. 

Refer to 6.2.2 Onboard direct wiring with optional kit also 

consult the Engel dealer nearest to you as needed.
