various kinds of food.

To learn about the temperature settings
in the LongFresh compartment please
refer to the “LongFresh compartment
setting” section.

LongFresh compartment is suitable for
the storage of a variety of fresh food (like
fish, meat, seafood, etc.) as it preserves
its high nutritional values as well as high
humidity level much longer in comparison

symbols: and can be used
according to the desired storage
conditions independently of each other
with lower or higher humidity.

Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at
the front of the drawer.

• “Dry”: low relative humidity.
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set into this position

and the ventilation openings are

wide open.

• “Humid”: high relative humidity.

This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set in this position

and the ventilation openings are
closed. Humidity is kept and can not
escape.

5.5 DYNAMICAIR

The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a device that allows rapid
cooling of foods and keeps more uniform

6. HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 13

This device activates automatically when
needed.

The fan operates only when
the door is closed.

6.1 Hints for energy saving

• 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.

• Do not set too high temperature to
save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

• Make sure that food products inside
the appliance allow air circulation
through dedicated holes in the rear
interior of the appliance.

6.2 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.

• 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.

6.3 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.

• 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

www.aeg.com14

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.

• Always refer to the expiry date of the
products to know how long to keep

Cakes containing cream and other kinds
of pastry products can be stored in the
LongFresh compartment for 2 or 3 days.

Not to be placed in the LongFresh
compartment:

• Cold sensitive fruit which have to be
stored at cellar or room temperature
like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit,
melons, mango, papaya, oranges,
lemons, kiwi fruit.

• Vegetables which have to be stored at
room temperature like tomatoes,
potatoes, onions, and garlic.

• The types of food not mentioned
above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (e.g. all
sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.).

The level of air humidity in
the drawers depends on the
content of humidity in the
stored food, vegetable and
fruit and on the frequency of
door opening.

The LongFresh compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in
the LongFresh compartment for up to
two days.

• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.

• The whole storage cycle time will
depend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.

• Any type of food, fruit, vegetable or
animal food shall always be packed or
wrapped up before storage.

• Food rich in proteins will go bad
quicker. This means seafood will spoil
before fish which in turn will spoil
before meat. While storing food in a
LongFresh compartment storage time
for that kind of food can be increased
by up to three times as well without
loss on quality.

• All food stored in a LongFresh
compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15 - 30 min
before consumption, particularly fruit
and vegetables to be consumed
without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables
to return to room temperature will
improve the texture and flavour.
