The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior tem- perature:
–Ambient temperature;
–Quantity and temperature of the food stored;
–Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open.
Switching the Appliance Off
Refrigerator and freezer compartments can not be switched off inde- pendently of one another.
To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0".
If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period:
Turn the temperature regulator to position "0". Unplug the appliance, or remove the fuse.
Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cle- aning and Care").
Leave doors open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours.
Opening the Freezer Compartment Door
If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in ope- ration, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes.
