Periodic Cleaning; Defrosting Of The Refrigerator; Defrosting Of The Freezer - AEG AIK2023 Notice D'utilisation

CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.

7.3 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!
Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the appliance.
CAUTION!
Do not damage the cooling
system.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
and the compressor at the back of
the appliance with a brush.
This will improve the performance of
the appliance and save electricity
consumption.
7.4 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every 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
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.

7.5 Defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!
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.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting set a lower
temperature in order to
build up sufficient chill
reserve in case of any
interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.
CAUTION!
A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs during
defrosting may shorten
their safe storage life.
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
