4.7 Defrosting
4.8 Shutting off the refrigerator
Set the energy selector switch (1) to posi-
tion "OFF". The appliance is switched off.
Secure the door open by means of the door
stop. The door will be slightly ajar. This is to
prevent mould from forming inside the
appliance.
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.
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
3 mm thick, the refrigerator should be defro-
sted.
Switch off the refrigerator, as described in
section
4.8 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.
The layer of ice must never be removed
forcibly, nor may defrosting be accelera-
ted using a heat source!
CAUTION!

4.6.4 Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night,
the refrigerator has less work to do and the
unit has more reserves.
1. Fill the ice cube tray
with drinking water.
2. Place the ice cube
tray in the freezer
compartment.
