2.12.5 Most kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food c o m p a r ~ f- - -: -
a month. This period of time may vary, however, and it is important to *: : • tne
instructions on the individual packages.
2.13 Ice Making
2.13.1 It is practical to make ice during the night - then the refrigerator is less demanded
and the cooling unit has more reserves. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim
with drinking water and place it on the freezer shelf.
2.13.2 To speed up the ice making, you can spill one or two spoonfuls of water on the
freezer shelf to improve the contact to the ice tray. If you have more than one ice
tray, it is a good idea to make ice in advance and save the frozen trays in the
frozen compartment.
2.14 Defrosting
2.14.1 Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It must not be
allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects
refrigerator performance. Check the formation of frost regularly every week and
when it gets about 3mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.
2.14.2 To defrost the refrigerator, turn it off and remove the ice trays and all food items,
leave the cabinet and freezer doors open.
2.14.3 Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance, as this
might damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator; neither should any sharp
objects be used to scrape off the ice.
2.14.4 The defrost water runs from a collector channel to a receptacle at the rear of the
refrigerator where it normally evaporates.
2.15.5 If heavy frost builds up on the freezer plate and the cooling fins, with a lot of
defrost water, move the plastic drain tube in to a water tight bucket or container,
(access through the lower ventilation grill on the outside of the vehicle). As the
frost melts, the water will flow into the container. Replace the drain tube to its
original position after defrosting.
2.15.6 Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be mopped up with a cloth.
2.15.7 When the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and restart it. Place the food
items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.
2.16 Cleaning the Refrigerator
2.16.1 Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and hygienic.
2.16.2 Soak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to half
a litre of warm water. Wring out the cloth and use it to clean the interior of the
refrigerator and its fittings.
2.16.3 Never use detergents, scouring powder or strongly scented eradicator as they
may damage the surfaces and leave a strong odour.
