4.14 Shutting off the refrigerator

n
Switch off the refrigerator by pressing but-
ton (1) (s. 4.5). Keep button (1) pressed for
3 seconds. The display disappears and the
appliance is fully switched off .
n
Release the locking mechanism (Fig. 30-31)
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 nevertheless kept open to
prevent formation of mildew.

If the refrigerator is to be taken out of ser-
vice for an extended period of time, close
the onboard shut-off valve and the cylinder
valve .

4.15 Defrosting

As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins
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
0.118 inches (3 mm) thick, the refrigerator
should be defrosted.
n
Switch off the refrigerator, as described in
section Shutting of the refrigerator .
n
Remove all food and the ice cube tray.
n
Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air
to enter and to prevent formation of mildew.
n
After defrosting (freezer compartment and
fins free of frost), wipe both cooling com-
partments dry with a cloth.
