Preparation Of Ice Cubes; Defrosting; The Fridge Defrosts Automatically - AEG Electrolux S 64160 TK38 Gebrauchsanweisung

Preparation of Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage
the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.

Defrosting

The Fridge Defrosts Automatically

The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running,
and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost
evaporates by itself.
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The
water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located below the appliance,
where it evaporates.
Important! To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically
clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at
the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the salad drawer(s). Use the
special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes progressively covered
with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from
reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost
exceeds 6 mm (1/4").
To carry out complete defrosting
proceed as follows:
1. Remove any food from inside the ****-
star compartment, wrap it in several
sheets of newspaper and store in a cool
dry place.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to position
<< 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting,
place a bowl of hot water inside the
compartment (with a piece of
cardboard underneath the bowl as
protection).
