when temperatures require it.
The heating cable will draw 12V DC power continuously when in the

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.
Caution!
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to loosen objects
which have frozen in place.
To defrost the refrigerator, proceed as follows:
³
Take out the contents of the refrigerator.
³
Place them in another cooling device to keep them cool, if necessary.
³
Set the ON/OFF button (
