Switching Off The Appliance; Defrosting; The Fridge Defrosts Automatically - AEG Santo 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: During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the
thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may ope-
rate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning
the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to
resume.

Switching off the appliance

0 To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0".
If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period:
0 Turn the temperature regulator to position "0".
0 Unplug the appliance, or pull or unscrew the fuse.
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 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 defrost water 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".
