10.6.6 Refrigerator door locking mechanism
With some models, the refrigerator has a separate freezer compartment. The speci-
fications in this section correspondingly also apply to the door of the freezer com-
partment.
There are two positions for locking the refrigerator door in place:
z Closed refrigerator door during travel and when the refrigerator is in operation
z Slightly opened refrigerator door as a ventilation position when the refrigerator
is switched off
Z Close the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator" when the refrigerator is operated elec-
trically.
Z Further information can be obtained in the manufacturer's instruction manual.
Z During the journey the refrigerator door must always be closed and be locked
in the closed position.
Z When the refrigerator is switched off, bring the refrigerator door into the venti-
lation position and lock it in place if possible. This prevents mould from forming.
