Defrosting
Shut off the
refrigerator.
tmpty the retrigerator leaving the drip tray under the
finned evaporator and the
cabinet
and freezer doors
open. If desired, defrosting may be speeded up by
fil-
ling the ice tray with hot water and placing it in the
freezer. When the frost on the tinned evaporator
acti
on has melted water
will
be collected in the drip tray.
The drip tray should be emptied at regular intervals.
When all frost is melted, empty the drip tray and dry
the interior of the refrigerator with a clean cloth. Re-
place the drip tray and ice tray, replace all food stuffs
and set the thermostat to MAX for a few hours. Then
reset the thermostat knob to its normal position.
Note: On the RM2801 the drip tray is placed on the
rear side of the refrigerator.
Frozen Food Storage Compartment
The ice trays should be placed in direct contact with
the freezer shelf for fastest ice making. Quick frozen
soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the col-
dest part of the compartment which is at the bottom of
the aluminum liner or, in models with a shelf, on this
or just below it. Frozen vegetables, on the other hand,
may be stored in any part of the compartment. The
compartment is not designed for the deep or quick
freezing of food stuffs. Meat or fish foods, whether raw
or prepared, and provided they are
precooled
in the
refrigerator, can however, also be stored in the frozen
food storage compartment. They can then be stored
about three times as long as in the fresh food storage
compartment. To prevent drying out, keep food in
covered dishes, in plastic, bags or wrapped in alumi-
num foil.
Ice
Making
Ice cubes can be made in the ice trays which should
be filled with water to within
1/4"
(5 mm) from the top.
To release the ice cubes seize the tray with both hands
an twist the tray. Cubes not required should preferably
be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray with water and
replace the tray on the freezer shelf. Ice making is
accelerated if the thermostat knob is turned to setting
“MAX”. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before
an anticipated need for ice but be sure to turn the knob
back to normal setting when the ice is formed or the
foodstuffs in the cabinet may become frozen
hard.
To Shut Off the Refrigerator
To shut off the refrigerator turn the knob A to off posi-
tion. If the cabinet is not in operation over a period of
weeks, it should be emptied and cleaned and the door
left ajar. Use the travel latch to lock the door in that
position (see fig). Some models are provided with in-
terior light, which comes on when the door is
opened.
To avoid running out of battery the light should be shut
off
with the switch on the side of the lamp housing. The
ice trays should also be dried and kept outside the
cabinet.

Cleaning
To clean the interior lining of the refrigerator use lu-
kewarm weak soda solution. The evaporator, ice trays
and shelves must, however, be
cleaned
with warm
water only. Never use strong chemicals or abrasives
to clean these parts or the protective surface will be
damaged. It is important always to keep the refrigera-
tor clean.
