Defrosting the refrigerator

A
NOTICE!
Never use mechanical tools or blow dryers to remove ice or to loosen
objects stuck to the device.
I
NOTE
Over time, frost builds up on the cooling fins inside the refrigerator. If this
layer of frost is about 3 mm thick, you should defrost the refrigerator.
➤ Disconnect the voltage and gas supply.
➤ Empty the refrigerator.
➤ Put a cloth in the ice compartment and the refrigerator to absorb any excess
water.
➤ Leave the door open.
✓ The thawed water of the main refrigerator runs into a condensation container on
the back of the refrigerator where it evaporates.
➤ Wipe both compartments dry with a cloth.
7.12 Operating with low ambient temperatures
A
NOTICE!
Do not attach the top winter cover (not in scope of delivery) while oper-
ating with gas. This prevents heat from building up and the fumes from
the refrigerator can be extracted properly.
I
NOTE
• Cold air can restrict the performance of the unit. Attach the winter
covers if you experience a reduced cooling capacity at low ambient
temperatures. This protects the unit from excessively cold air that
might otherwise restrict its performance.
• Attach the winter covers when the vehicle is cleaned from the out-
side or not used for a prolonged period of time.
Proceed as follows (fig. c, page 8):
➤ Regularly check that the ventilation grille (1) is not obstructed by leaves, snow, or
similar.
➤ Attach the winter cover (2) to the lower grille.
