Switching Off The Appliance; Defrosting; The Fridge Defrosts Automatically - AEG SANTO SANTO Integrated Refrigerator Operating Instructions Manual

Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold set-
ting on the temperature regulator (position "5" to "6") can cause the
compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must
run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The
fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the
fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also
"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost
on the fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer set-
ting (position "3" to "4"). At this setting the compressor will be swit-
ched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting will recommence.

Switching off the appliance

0 To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The inside
light goes out.
If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period:
0 Turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The inside light goes
out.
0 Unplug the appliance, or isolate the power supply.
0 Clean thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning ").
0 Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.

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 is collected in the drain channel on
the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection
compartment in the base, and then evaporated.
The drain hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Maintenance
and Cleaning".
