13 Defrosting
A layer of ice on the cooling fins will decrease
the cooling capacity and durability of your
refrigerator. Therefore your refrigerator is
provided with an automatic defrost system,
which prevents ice formation.
Despite this system, it is also possible to manually
defrost your refrigerator on occasion. Remove all
food, wrap it tightly in newspaper and put it in a
cold place or in an insulated bag. Then remove the
drawer (only for models C1 and C2) and leave the
doors open. Put dry towels in the refrigerator to
catch the remaining water. When the refrigerator
is defrosted, thoroughly dry the inside.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by
removing the ice layer with force or sharp
objects or by using a hairdryer.
14 Storage
If you do not expect to use your refrigerator for a
longer period, it is important to thoroughly empty,
defrost and clean the complete refrigerator. Then
install the winter cover over the vents, to protect
your refrigerator during storage.
To prevent odours and mould in the refrigerator,
keep the refrigerator door, as well as the freezer
compartment door, open during storage. External
doors are equipped with a storage lock.
For model A and model B
rotate the storage lock and
secure it by using the strike
plate, as illustrated.
For model C1 and model C2
first open the door and
rotate the storage lock, as
illustrated. Then close the
door until you hear the first
click. Make sure the door is
still a bit open.
When you use the
refrigerator after storage,
always make sure to rotate
the storage lock back to its
original position.
Make sure the gas taps of the gas bottle are
closed during storage.
Water through the vents may damage your
refrigerator. Therefore install winter covers
before washing your vehicle.
15 Disposal
Your refrigerator has been designed and
manufactured with high quality materials and
components, which can be recycled and reused.
The cooling system contains ammonia as the
coolant and ozone friendly cyclopentane as the
blowing agent in the foam.
When your refrigerator has reached its end of
life, dispose the product according to the local
rules. Do not dispose the refrigerator with normal
household waste. The correct disposal of your
old product will help prevent potential negative
consequences to the environment and human
health.
