• Release the locking mechanism (Fig. 30-31)
of the door lock by pushing it and shift it to
the front. If the door is shut in this position,
a small gap is nevertheless kept open to
prevent formation of mildew.

• If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service
for an extended period of time, close the
onboard shut-off valve and the cylinder valve.
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 4.14 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
compartments dry with a cloth.
Storing food and making ice cubes
Storing products in the cooling
compartment
• Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours
before filling it.
• Always store pre-cooled foods in the
refrigerator. Make sure that the food is well
cooled when it is bought and also when
transporting it. Use insulated cooling bags.
• Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when removing products.
• Products must be packed - best of all in
closed containers, wrapped in aluminium
foil or similar - and stored separately from
each other, in order to prevent drying out or
odours.
• Allow foods that have been warmed up to
cool down before storing.
• Avoid storing products in the refrigerator that
could emit volatile flammable gases.
• Do not overfill the storage grids and
compartments to prevent obstructing the
internal air circulation.
• Maintain a clearance of approx. 5 - 10
mm between chilled products and post-
evaporator (“cooling fins”).
• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct
sunlight. Please bear in mind that the
temperature inside a closed vehicle increases
sharply if exposed to sunlight and that this
can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit
is not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grilles
free from obstructions.
• 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 and the refrigerator is exposed to these
temperatures for extended periods of time, an
even regulation of freezer temperature cannot
be guaranteed for system related reasons. This
can cause the temperature in the freezer to
rise and the stored goods to melt.
Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night,
the refrigerator has less work to do and the
unit has more reserves.
