Maintenance / Defrosting - AEG Electrolux SK 98843-6I Gebrauchsanleitung

Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice
goes with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency
as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it
does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly
the door can be broken.
At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food compartment is automatic
without any external intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular
intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted -
temperature of the fresh food compartment increases and defrosting occurs.
After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly. If it is clogged
the melting water gathered can
cause earlier failure as it can go to
the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with
the supplied pipe scraper that can be
seen in the figure. The pipe scraper
has to be stored in the outlet.
Occasionally check defrost water
outlet not to be clogged up.
The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water outlet when you
put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts
back plate of fresh food compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the
food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up
in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of
the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.
