6.15 Defrosting your fridge freezer
From time to time, ice may form on the inside of your ARB Fridge Freezer. This can
reduce both its internal capacity and its thermal efficiency. ARB recommends that you
defrost your fridge freezer on a regular basis.
To defrost your ARB Fridge Freezer:
Remove the contents of the fridge freezer.
Turn the fridge freezer off.
Open the lid so that the ambient temperature air will cause the ice to melt.
Remove the drain plug and allow any water to drain from the cabinet.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth to remove any remaining water.
WARNING: Never use hard or pointed objects to defrost the fridge freezer or
to loosen objects that have become frozen in place.
6.16 Replacing the cabinet fuse
Your fridge freezer is equipped with a fuse that is located in the rear of the cabinet.
CAUTION – Disconnect the fridge freezer from all power sources before
replacing the cabinet fuse.
To replace the cabinet fuse:
Remove the AC and DC power leads from the power sockets.
Remove the fuse insert from the rear panel of the fridge freezer as shown in 15a.
A small flat blade screwdriver may be required to help pry the insert away from its
housing.
Replace the defective fuse with a new fuse that has the same rating. The correct
rating for the fuse is 4A, specified as: F4L250V. Refer to Figure 15b.
Replace the fuse insert back into its housing.
