Defrosting the refrigerator
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser. This
reduces the cooling capacity. Defrost the device in good time to avoid this.
A
NOTICE!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
This is how to defrost the refrigerator:
➤ Take the contents out.
➤ If necessary, put them in another cooling appliance.
➤ Set the knob to "0".
➤ Leave the door open.
➤ Wipe off the water resulting from defrosting or – if present – empty the collecting
tray. If your device has a water drain, drain the thawed water off.
Switching off and storing the refrigerator
If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤ Set the knob to level "0".
➤ Disconnect the power cable from the battery or pull the DC cable plug out of the
rectifier.
➤ Clean the refrigerator (see chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" on page 20).
➤ Set the lock to the "VENT" position.
This prevents odours from forming.
Securing the refrigerator door
You can prevent the refrigerator door from being opened inadvertently.
➤ Put the locking mechanism on the top of the door to position 1
(fig. 5 1, page 5).
