pressing the switch-off button.

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.

6	AEG/Electrolux 8184283-00/3

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 COOLMATICor 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.

Switching off

To switch off press and hold the

ON/OFF button for approx. 1

second. A so-called "count down" is

The temperature memory shows when an alarm has been triggered in the cabinet.

The temperature memory operates as follows:

When the temperature inside the freezer again falls below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The temperature display and the red warning lamp will flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet during the alarm phase and the display stops flashing. By referring to the temperature display indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to discard the products inside the freezer.

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.
