Important
High ambient temperatures ( e.g. on hot summer days ) and a cold setting on the
temperature regulator ( position
6
to
7
) can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to
maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since
automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running ( see
also ‘Defrosting’ section ). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge
rear wall.
It this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting ( position
3
to
4
).
At this selling the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting
recommenced.
