Storing Food; Making Ice Cubes; Defrosting - Bailey Motorhomes Owner's Manual

4.11.6 Storing food

● Always store food in sealed containers, aluminium foil or similar.
● Never put hot food into the refrigerator, always let it cool down first.
● Products that could emit volatile, flammable gases must not be stored in the refrigerator.
● Store quickly perishable foods directly next to the cooling fins.
The freezer compartment is suitable for making ice cubes and for short-term storage of frozen food. It
is not suitable as a means of freezing foods.

4.11.7 Making Ice Cubes

Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the refrigerator has less work to do and the unit has more
reserves.
▲ Only use drinking water!
1. Fill the ice cube tray with drinking water.

4.11.8 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 4.11.12 "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.
▲ The layer of ice must never be removed forcibly, nor may defrosting be
accelerated using a heat source.
▲ 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.
