reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
The air inside the refrigerator unit MUST be able to circulate freely without any hindrance.

Making ice cubes

Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the refrigerator has less work to do and
the unit has more reserves.
5.5

Defrosting

As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins.
When the layer of frost is about 3mm thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted.
1. Switch off the refrigerator, as described in Section 5.8 - "Switching off".
2. Remove the ice cube tray and food.
3. Leave the refrigerator door open.
4. After defrosting (freezer compartment and fins free of frost), wipe the cabinet dry
with a cloth.
5. Use a cloth to mop up the water from the freezer compartment.
6. Switch the refrigerator back on again.
Note:
Water thawing in the main compartment of the refrigerator runs into an appropriate
container at the back of the refrigerator. From there, the water evaporates.
5.6 Positioning the storage rack
Dismantling:
To fit the storage rack, the reverse order applies.

The layer of ice must never be removed forcibly, nor may defrosting be
accelerated using a heat source.

and back securing
brackets.
2. Move the storage
rack to the left and
