Setting the temperature
Press the buttons "+" raises the
temperature and "-" lowers the
temperature. These bottens are
connected to the temperature display.
Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the
temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or below. Please note, however, that
the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
Once set, the temperature display shows the current temperature inside the
freezer .
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature
setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on
after it has been out of use. The electronics recalls the previously set
temperature.
The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the
DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the
two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER).
Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature
is adjusted by 1°C.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL
temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge or the freezer
compartment. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge
or the freezer compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with
static illuminated numbers.
Once the COOLMATIC- or the FROSTMATIC function has been switched
on the DESIRED temperature that was set originally for the fridge or the
freezer cannot be changed.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest temperature inside the
freezer . If the temperature is measured using a thermometer, put it between
the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen
products. It is normal that the built-in temperature display shows a
temperature slightly above that measured in other ways.
If there is a fault in the appliance a square or a letter will appear in the
temperature display.

Practical advice on freezing
· When freezing products, use the
top shelves.
· When freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator
moves to on top of the food.
· Do not cover the air hole on the
rear wall.
· Spread out the products as much
as possible to allow air to circulate
between them.
· Do not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other
frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to
thaw on the surface.
· Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to
each other. The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power
failure.
· Do not freeze too much food at the same time. The freezing capacity of
the unit is indicated in the specifications section.
Check that the cabinet is operating and keeps the set temperature one day
after switching it on for the first time. Only after then should the freezer be
used to freeze fresh foodstuff.
11
AEG/Electrolux 8184283-00/3
Suitable storage periods
Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum
storage period indicated on the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for more than three months.
Cooked food and low-fat food may be kept up to about six months. Lean
food and berries can be kept for approximately one year.
Thawing
It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a
raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. Easily thawed foods can be
placed in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven
to thaw foodstuff, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Cabinet interior
Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food
package you want. In order to obtain
maximum space, all fittings except
the top door and the lower box can
be removed and filled with groceries
up to the indicated loading limit.
Cold accumulator
The cold accumulator will keep the
food cold for longer after a power
failure. The cold accumulator will be
most effective when placed on the
top shelf. When freezing large
amounts of food/provisions, the
accumulator moves to on top of the
food.
Removable shelves
There are the removable shelves
inside the freezer. Remove the shelf
when large food products need to be
frozen.
12
AEG/Electrolux 8184283-00/3
Shelf for ice machine.
Cannot be removed.
Ice container.
Can be removed. Lift the front edge
and then pull out. When the ice
container is pulled out, this stops all
the functions of the ice machine.
When re-fitting (if necessary), the
ice container feed screw should be
positioned against the rear flange.
HINT and TIPS
Saving energy
· Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section
"Installation". When installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
· Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door
too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor
to switch on unnecessarily often.
· Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing
properly.
· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods
and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit
· It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of
the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
· Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge
before being transfered to the freezer.
· Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
· Carefully follow the advice on freezing products in the section "Using
the freezer". This will prevent wasting energy.
· Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer. A suitable temperature
is in the range of -18°C to -20°C .
· Make sure the door gasket is complete and always clean.
13
AEG/Electrolux 8184283-00/3
Food Storage
· To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor
liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the larder compartment.
· Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it straight away. The use of
an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen
food in the freezer immediately.
· Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in
date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Remove suspect food
from you refrigerator and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
Protect the environment
· Hand over the cabinet packaging and discarded fridges and freezers to a
recycling station. Contact your local council or Environmental Health office
for more information.
· Keep foodstuff in re-usable containers. Cut down on disposable material
as much as possible.
· When cleaning the cabinet, use a mild washing-up detergent.
· Follow the advice in the section "Saving energy"
· The door gasket and coolant used in this cabinet will not harm the ozone
layer.
· All parts in the packaging can be recycled.
· The cabinet has been designed for easy dismantling and subsequent
recycling.
MAINTENANCE and CLEANING
