Temperatures; Defrosting; Cleaning; Condenser Cleaning Procedure - AGA marvel M18AF Mode D'emploi

Temperatures:

The temperature is automatically controlled by a thermo-
stat. The freezer control is located in the roof of the freezer.
Three "3" is a good setting to start out with... Lower num-
bers for warmer temperatures and higher numbers for cold-
est temperatures.
NOTE
To help keep food fresh longer, some moisture is desirable
in the food storage compartments. You may see it on the
walls, or in the form of droplets of ice or "icicles"... especial-
ly in hot or humid weather, or when frequent or extended
door openings occur. This is normal, and not in any way
harmful. If occasional "spot" build-ups occur, it is usually the
result of the above, or of "overcrowding" of food. Occasion-
ally remove such accumulation.

Defrosting:

Defrosting is automatic. It takes place in the Power Module,
above and away from your food. For several minutes each
day the compressor and interior fan will shut off, while any
ice accumulation is removed from the coils.

Cleaning:

It's easy to keep your Built-In freezer clean. Occasionally,
clean the interior walls, shelves, door interiors and gaskets
with a solution of two (2) teaspoons of baking soda dis-
solved in a quart of lukewarm water. Harsh abrasives and
cleaning powders are unnecessary and should never be
used. Do not place parts in the dishwasher.
It is recommended that circuit breakers be shut off before
cleaning. Wring excess moisture from sponge or cloth and
avoid excess moisture, especially when cleaning in the
vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
If your unit has a stainless steel interior, shelves or exterior
door then use a stainless steel cleaner and a cloth to clean.
USE AND CARE GUIDE

Condenser cleaning procedure:

The condenser is located behind the top grille. It is a part
of the Power Module on its very right hand side. It has
horizontal tubes with small diameter vertical wires and it is
black in color. It is away from floor dust, however, it should
be examined for dust accumulation at least two (2)
times a year, and cleaned and/or vacuumed as nec-
essary. Remember to shut off the circuit breaker before
removing the grille and before exposing, cleaning, and/or
vacuuming the condenser.
The louvered black or stainless steel grille is all one as-
sembly. There are 3 ways to remove the grille. The most
widely used method of mounting is with springs. The
spring(s) are located behind the grille back. The spring(s)
are mounted to the top of the cabinet and hook to the
square holes in the grille back. To remove the grille, pull
the grille forward and reach down to the spring and unhook
it from the grille back. The grille back will be free to be
removed.
The second method (optional) is with mounting brackets
behind the grille back. Pull the grille forward about one (1)
inch to expose the top screw in the brackets. Unscrew the
screw to loosen it but do not remove it. Do this to each
bracket. CAUTION, when the screw is loosened, the grille
back will be loose, do not allow it to fall. Grasp the grille
back on each side and tilt the top forward and lift upward to
free the grille from its mounting.
A custom panel grille can be removed by lifting up on the
facia panel and pulling forward on the facia panel. The
grille back is held in place by a screw at the center going
up into the adjacent cabinet. Remove this screw and the
grille back can be removed.
The louvered grille is heavy so use care when removing.
Now you can inspect the condenser for dust accumulation.
Be sure to refasten top grille after cleaning to avoid injury,
as grille could fall if not properly fastened.
