ENGLISH 13

5.7 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under cold water.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

6.2 Hints for freezing

• Activate Frostmatic function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
This operation depends on the time available and on the type of food. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen.
• The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide - they may explode during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.
6.3 Hints for storage of
frozen food
• Freezer compartment is the one
marked with .
• The medium temperature setting ensures good preservation of frozen food products. Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
Page 14
www.aeg.com14
• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.

6.4 Shopping tips

After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.
defrosting may have already started.

6.6 Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
Page 15
ENGLISH 15
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
6.7 Hints for food
refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with .
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

7. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand­new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
• In order to accelerate cooling down of the goods, it is advisable to turn on the fan. The activation of DYNAMICAIR allows greater homogenization of internal temperatures.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

7.2 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe them clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to
Page 16
www.aeg.com16
prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.

7.4 Defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Remove any stored food and put it in a cool place.
CAUTION!
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life. Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat vessel.
4. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
5. When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thoroughly.
6. Switch on the appliance and close the door.
7. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for at least 3 hours using this setting.
Only after this time put the food back into the freezer compartment.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a lower temperature in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in case of any interruption in operation.
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.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket.
