AEG Integrated refrigerator SKS58240F0 User Manual

							Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes
to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Once a year remove the ventilation grill at the base of the appliance and clean the air chan-
nels with a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.
CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washingup liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
P
F
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-
ery time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole (F) situated under the salad
drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the spe-
cial cleaner provided (P), which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 35 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.Care and cleaning
11 
						

							2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance
for two or three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Cleaning the air channels
1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventila-
tion grid (2).
2. Clean the ventilation grid.
3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3),
checking that there is no water left from
the defrosting.
4. Clean the lower part of the appliance with
a vacuum cleaner.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
