small gap is nevertheless kept open to pre-
vent formation of mildew.
If the refrigerator is to be taken out of ser-
vice for an extended period of time, close
the on-board shut-off valve and the cylinder
valve.

4.11 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 4.10 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.
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.
CAUTION!
The layer of ice must never be removed
forcibly, nor may defrosting be accelera-
ted using a heat source!
