Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set- ting on the temperature regulator (position "5" to "6") can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also "Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set- ting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be swit- ched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting will recommence.
Switching off the appliance
0To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The inside light goes out.
If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period:
0Turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The inside light goes out.
0Unplug the appliance, or isolate the power supply.
0Clean thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning ").
0Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.
The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base, and then evaporated.
The drain hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Maintenance and Cleaning".
