Cleaning.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC CURRENT SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING. SWITCHING
OFF IS NOT ENOUGH-PULL OUT THE PLUG! Remove from the cabinet all water resulting
from defrosting, because this otherwise will become the cause of unpleasant odor and taint-
ting affecting the refrigerator contents. Wipe the cabinet interior clean with a damp cloth
wrung out in warm water containing a mild, non-abrasive household detergent. Dry thoro-
ughly with a soft, dry cloth. Never use brushes, scrapers, soap powders, petrol, benzine
or thinners, which will damage the cabinet lining. Door or lid linings must not be allowed to
become too wet, or water may be absorbed by the insulation material, and insulating effic-
iency will be adversely affected until the insulation has dried out. Wash all removable shelves
and fittings in warm soapy water , then rinse and dry with a soft clean cloth.

Laying-up.
When the refrigeratar is to be left unused for any appreciable period of time, the mains
plug must be removed from the supply socket. Battery supplies may remain connected,
provided that the thermostat control knob is turned to "0" (OFF) . It is advisable that the
cabinet should be cleaned and the lid or door left open for a few hours to prevent odour
formation.

Technical Advice for DC Operation.
7.1. Direct connection between battery and refrigerator. Avoid the use of unnecessary plugs,
switches, distribution sockets etc. between the battery and the refrigeretor, as these will
contribute to voltage drop at the input terminals and momentary peak voltages caused by
other electrical equipment in the same circuit can damage the refrigerator inverter. Always
connect the refrigerator directly to the battery. (See Fig.2)
7.2. The electric current supply to the refrigerator must be protected by a line fuse inserted in
the positive lead, as close to the battery as possible.
12V DC fuse rating 15A.
24V DC fuse rating 10A.
7.3. DC current supply cable must have a cross sectional area of at least 2.5 mm' to prevent
voltage drop. Cable runs should be as short and direct as possible, for the same reason.
7.4. Engel refrigerators are protected against radio interference to the requirements of EN 50081-1.
In order to avoid interference on the DC supply line, please use saparate positive and nega
tive cables, which are twisted together in a spiral form. (See Fig 1(
7.5. Should the voltage at the refrigerator input terminals fall below the rated requirement, the
cooling efficiency will immediately be reduced. Please pay due attention to the maintenance
of your battery in a good state of charge.
7.5. Quick chargers supply the battery with excess voltage in performing their intended function.
Should the refrigerator remain switched-on whilst a quick charger is connected to the battery,
the inverter can suffer damage.
7.7. Never use a battery charger, transformer/rectifier, battery eliminator or AC'DC converter to
supply your Engel refrigerator. Such equipment can, under certain circumstances, deliver
current at a voltage which may damage the inverter. It is in order to use these items always
provided that the battery is connected in parallel between the charging equipment and the
refrigertor. (See Fig.21

APPLICATION of ENGINE GENERATOR
To use an engine generator as power source for
ENGEL
refrigerator, users are advised to
contact their ENGEL dealer for its application method in order to protect the refrigerator from
damage caused by high voltage and frequency fluctuation.
