Need help?Do you have a question about the AEG SCE8186VTC and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for an AEG SCE8186VTC Fridge Freezer, providing comprehensive instructions for its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The appliance is designed for household and similar applications, including farmhouses, staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments, as well as by clients in hotels, motels, bed and breakfast, and other residential type environments. It is equipped with a control panel featuring a display, temperature regulators for both the fridge and freezer compartments, and buttons for various functions such as OK, Mode, and ON/OFF. The display shows indicators for the fridge compartment, timer, ON/OFF status, COOLMATIC, Holiday mode, FROSTMATIC, temperature, freezer compartment, alarm, ChildLock, DrinksChill, and DYNAMICAIR functions.
For usage, the appliance can be switched on by connecting it to the mains and pressing the ON/OFF button. Temperature can be regulated for both the fridge and freezer compartments, with default settings of +5°C and -18°C respectively. The manual highlights several special functions to enhance food preservation and convenience. The COOLMATIC function is ideal for rapidly chilling large amounts of warm food, preventing other stored items from warming up. It operates for approximately 6 hours automatically but can be switched off manually. The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and protects already frozen items from undesirable warming, operating for 52 hours automatically. For extended periods of absence, the Holiday mode allows the appliance to remain closed and empty without developing bad odors.
The appliance also includes practical features like movable shelves in the refrigerator compartment, allowing users to adjust their position according to individual preferences. The door shelves can also be repositioned. For freezing fresh food, it is recommended to activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing food in the top compartment. The freezer compartment is frost-free, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. The refrigerator compartment, however, undergoes automatic defrosting, with water draining into a special container at the back.
Safety is a key aspect, with warnings about proper installation, electrical connection, and use. The appliance contains isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant, which is flammable, so care must be taken not to damage the refrigerant circuit. Electrical appliances should not be used inside food storage compartments unless recommended by the manufacturer. Children aged 8 and above, as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, can use the appliance with supervision or instruction. Children between 3 and 8 years of age and those with extensive disabilities can use it if properly instructed.
Maintenance involves regular cleaning of the interior with lukewarm water and neutral soap, avoiding abrasive products or solvents. Door seals should be checked and cleaned regularly. If accessible, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance should be cleaned with a brush to improve performance and save electricity. The defrost water drain hole in the refrigerator compartment channel needs periodic cleaning to prevent water overflow. In case of non-operation for long periods, the appliance should be disconnected, emptied, cleaned, and left with doors open to prevent unpleasant smells. The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED interior light, which should only be replaced by authorized service personnel.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues such as the appliance not operating, being noisy, or displaying alarms. Solutions include checking power connections, ensuring proper support, closing doors, and adjusting temperatures. For more complex issues, contacting an Authorized Service Centre is recommended. The manual also includes hints and tips for energy saving, fresh food refrigeration, and freezing, such as not opening the door frequently, covering food, and ensuring proper air circulation. It also describes normal operating sounds like gurgling, whirring, pulsating, and cracking noises.
