The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid cooling of food and keeps a more uniform temperature in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when needed, for example for a quick temperature recovery after door opening or when the ambient temperature is high.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
It is possible to switch on the device manually when needed (refer to "DYNAMICAIR function").
The DYNAMICAIR device stops when the door is open and restarts immediately after the door closing.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).
Page 11
ENGLISH
11
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
6.3 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

6.4 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

7. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 General warnings

CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

7.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the appliance.
• 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.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
CAUTION!
Do not damage the cooling system.
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.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
7.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the
Page 12
www.aeg.com12
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 prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

7.4 Periods of non-operation

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
