10.1 Defrosting the refrigerator
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with an automatic cyclic defrost system that prevents excessive frost for-
mation on the evaporator fins. If the refrigerator is used for a long time in high humidity and/or high ambient tem-
peratures, frost may still form on the evaporator fins and the refrigerator must be defrosted manually.

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the contents from the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
3. Put a cloth in the freezer and refrigerator compartment to absorb any excess water.

✔ The condensate drains off through a hose at the back of the refrigerator and is discharged to the outside of the
vehicle.
5. Wipe the freezer and refrigerator compartment dry with a cloth.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Do not use mechanical tools or a hair dryer to remove ice or to loosen frozen items.

The freezer compartment must be defrosted at regular intervals. Defrost the freezer compartment
