AEG SCN71800S1 - Manual (Page 14)

Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler
compartment from the LONGFRESH 0°C
compartment can be removed only for
cleaning. To remove pull out the shelf
straight.
The cover plates above the drawers in
the compartment can be taken out for
cleaning.
To make sure fully functionality of the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the low-
est shelf and cover plates must be put
back in their original position after clean-
ing.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. 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.
5.2 Replacing the carbon filter
To get best performance the carbon air
filter should be changed once every
year.
New active air filters can be purchased
from your local dealer.
Refer to “Installation of the carbon air fil-
ter” for the instructions.
The air filter is a consumable accessory
and as such is not covered by the guar-
antee.
5.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is
automatic.
The water that forms flows into a recipi-
ent on the compressor and evaporates.
This recipient cannot be removed.
5.4 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.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings, in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in oper-
ation.
