• 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.
•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).
•
Never disassemble the refrigerator by yourself. Inadequate
repairs may lead to considerable hazards.
• Do not touch the inside and other metal parts of the cabinet
with wet hands, as this may cause frostbite.
•
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.
•
Use the DC cord originally accompanying the refrigerator
when operating it on DC. Failing to do so may lead to a fire
due to
overheat.
•
When replacing a fuse equipped inside the fuse holder of DC
cord, always use the same rated fuse for replacement. Never
use a wire or a lead instead. Doing so may lead to a fire
from
overheat.
•
This refrigerator runs on 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.
•
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 the 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 overheat and a fire.
• Avoid using flammable sprays near the refrigerator. The
electric
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.
• 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 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.
• 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 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.
•
Disconnect the refrigerator from the DC before cleaning and
servicing it as well as after each use.
• 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. 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 overstuff the refrigerator. Doing so reduces cooling
performance and may spoil the stored food.
•
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.
•
