Defrosting the refrigerator
I
Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the freezer compartment. This
reduces the cooling capacity. The refrigerator compartment is defrosted
automatically while the compressor is not running.
A slight layer of frost or water droplets could form in the interior of the refrigerator if
it has been cooling for longer periods. This is normal because the moisture in the air
condenses to water when the temperature in the refrigerator drops. The refrigerator
is
not
defective.
The condensate drains away through a trough a hose at the back of the unit routed
outside the vehicle.
➤
Wipe the insides of the refrigerator with a dry cloth as required.
If the layer of frost is thicker than 3 mm, you should defrost the freezer compartment.
Defrosting the freezer compartment

➤
Empty the contents.
➤

Let the ice defrost. Therefore leave the door open.
➤
Once the ice has melted completely, clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Clean-
ing and maintenance” on page 29).
➤
Set the
P
button to “ON”.
NOTE
In high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator may operate
continuously, which can lead to excessive formation of frost on the rear
wall of the refrigerator compartment. If this is the case, set the
temperature control (fig.

6, page 10) to a lower level (“1” or “2”).
NOTICE!
Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to free objects frozen
onto the device.
This can damage the refrigerator.
