Door locking mechanism
The refrigerator door has an
automatic locking mechanism.
The door locks automatically
when you press it shut firmly. The
lock releases unnoticed when you
open the refrigerator with your
hand. This automatic locking
mechanism also keeps the
refrigerator door shut during
driving. For some models an
additional security device is fitted
below the refrigerator. By pushing
the locking bar over the closed
refrigerator door you can make
doubly sure that the door does not come open during your journey.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for a prolonged period of time,
you can use the special hook of the door locking mechanism to prevent
odours. Turn the hook a quarter of one rotation to position it at right-angles
to the refrigerator. In this position, the hook prevents the door from closing.
