Making Ice Cubes; Defrosting; Positioning The Storage Racks - Dometic RM 7271 L Operating Instructions Manual

5.3.2 Freezer compartment
Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.
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.
When ambient temperatures are lower than +10°C an even regulation of freezer
temperature cannot be guaranteed, if the refrigerator is exposed to these tem-
peratures for a long period of time. This can cause the temperature in the free-
zer to rise and the stored goods to defrost.

Making ice cubes

5.4
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the refrigerator has less work to do and
the unit has more reserves.

Defrosting

5.5
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.
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.
