nevertheless kept open to prevent formation of
mildew.
• If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service
for an extende period of time, close the onboard
shut-off valve and the cylinder valve.
Defrosting
• As time goes by, frost builds up on the ns
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
3mm thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted.
• Switch off the regulator, as described in section
“Shutting off the refrigerator”
• Remove all food and the ice cube tray
• Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air to
enter and prevent formation of mildew.
• After defrosting (freezer compartment and ns
free of frost), wipe both cooling compartments
with a cloth.
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 accelerated
using a heat source!
Winter operation
In winter, check that the ventilation grilles and the
exhaust duct system (1) have not been blocked by
snow, leaves, etc.
Information on failure display and trouble-
shooting.
If a malfunction occurs, the indicator LED “Failure”
(1) ashes and LED (2) simultaneously. If the
failure is not resolved, it repeats after 1 hour.

Storing food and making ice cubes
• Storing food in the cooling compartment
• Switch the refrigerator on approx. 12 hours
before lling it.
• Always store pre-cooled foods in the refrigerator.
Make sure that the food is well cooled when it
is bought and also when transporting it. Use
insulated cooling bags.
• Open the refrigerator door only for a short
period of time when moving products.
• Products must be packed- best of all in closed
containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or similar-
and stored separately from each other, in order
to prevent drying out or odours.
• Allow foods that have been warmed up to cool
down before storing.
• Avoid storing products in the refrigerator that
could emit volatile ammable gases.
• Do not expose the refrigerator to direct sunlight.
Please bear in mind that the temperature inside
a closed vehicle increases sharply if exposed to
sunlight and that this can reduce the efciency
of the refrigerator.
• Ensure that air circulation of the cooling unit is
not obstructed. Keep the ventilation grilles free
from obstructions.
Storing food in the freezer compartment
• Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.
• The freezer compartment is suitable for making
ice cubes and for short –term storage of frozen
food. It is not suitable as a means of freezing
foods.
When ambient temperatures are lower than
+10°C and the refrigerator is exposed to
these temperatures for extended periods
of time, an even regulation of freezer
temperature cannot be guaranteed for
system-related reasons. This can cause
the temperature in the freezer to rise and
the stored goods to melt.
Making Ice cubes
Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the
refrigerator has less work to do and the unit has
more reserves.
Fill the ice cube tray with drinking water.
Place the ice cube tray in the freezer compartment.
Only use drinking water.
Shutting off the refrigerator
• Press the “MODE” (s.4.3) button to switch off.
Keep button pressed for 3 seconds. The display
disappears and the appliance is fully switched
off.
• Release the locking mechanism of the door
lock by pushing it and shift it to the front. If
the door is shut in this position, a small gap is
!
