AEG SCS91800F0 - Handbuch (Seite 16)

It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use
the special cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher settings ,
in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
3.
Leave the door open and insert the plas-
tic scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, placing a basin un-
derneath to collect the defrost water
In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer
compartment. In addition, remove pieces of
ice that break away before defrosting is com-
plete.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly and keep the scraper
for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
