STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR
The following simple instructions on storage of food in the refrigerator will enable
you to get the best results when using your ENGEL refrigerator / freezer.
REFRIGERATED FOOD
To prevent drying out and the transfer of odors from one food to another, foods
should always be stored in covered dishes, sealed plastic bags or wrapped in foil.
FROZEN FOOD
An ordinary packet of frozen food can be stored in the freezer for several days with
the thermostat set to "5."
If frozen food is allowed to thaw, under no circumstances should you attempt to
refreeze it.
DEFROSTING YOUR REFRIGERATOR / FREEZER
Set the thermostat control knob to "OFF." When the frost has melted, wipe down the
interior of your refrigerator with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a sharp object to chip
or scratch at the frost. This may result in puncturing the side evaporator walls which
will cause the refrigerant gas to escape.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR / FREEZER
BOX, DOOR & WIRE BASKET
To clean the box, door and basket, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. To remove dirt,
use a cloth moistened by a warm, mild detergent solution. Never use hot water or
harsh chemicals. After cleaning, wipe with a dry cloth.
LID GASKET
Wipe away dirt with a soft cloth moistened by a mild detergent. Do not soak the cloth
excessively. If water gets inside the side walls of your refrigerator, the insulating
effect may become temporarily impaired.
CAUTION
Never use a brush, powder soap, cleanser, acid, benzene, gasoline or mineral
thinners. These tend to leave scratches on the plastic coating.
