4.14 Shutting off the refrigerator

Switch off the refrigerator by pressing but-
ton (1) (s. 4.5). Keep button (1) pressed for
3 seconds. The display disappears and the
appliance is fully switched off .
Release the locking mechanism (Fig. 30-31)
of the door lock by pushing it and shift it to
the front. If the door is shut in this position,
a small gap is nevertheless kept open to
prevent formation of mildew.

If the refrigerator is to be taken out of ser-
vice for an extended period of time, close
the onboard shut-off valve and the cylinder
valve .

4.15 Defrosting

As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins
inside the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker
on one side may occur and does not represent
a malfunction. When this layer of frost is about
0.118 inches (3 mm) thick, the refrigerator
should be defrosted.
Switch off the refrigerator, as described in
section 4.14 Shutting of the refrigerator .
Remove all food and the ice cube tray.
Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air
to enter and to prevent formation of mildew.
After defrosting (freezer compartment and
fins free of frost), wipe both cooling com-
partments dry with a cloth.
