AEG S 60360 Kg8 User Manual

							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 washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
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 refrigera-
tor compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing 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
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket or switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls
with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its resting
position, push it in according to the illustra-
tion and place it in the bottom freezer drawer
where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe
the cabinet dry, then put the drainage chan-
nel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff.
Care and cleaning11
 
						

							It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest position of the thermo-
static control for some hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing tempera-
ture as soon as possible.
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 proc-
ess other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the fro-
zen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
WHAT TO DO IF…
CAUTION!
Before troubleshooting, disconnect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not

Water flows on the rear
plate of the refrigerator.During the automatic defrost-
ing process, frost defrosts on
the rear plate.This is correct.
Water flows into the re-
frigerator.The water outlet is clogged.Clean the water outlet.
 Products prevent that water
flows into the water collector.Make sure that products do not
touch the rear plate.
