Temperature key

6www.aeg.com

3.1Switching on

1.Plug the appliance into electrical mains socket.

2.To switch on the appliance, touch the temperature key until all LED indicators light up.

ECO mode is set automatically after approximately 3 seconds.

3.2 Switching off

1. To switch off the appliance press the temperature key for 3 seconds.

All LED indicators turn off.

2.To disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, remove the mains plug from the power socket.

3.3 Temperature regulation

To regulate the temperature, press the temperature key. Every time the key is pressed, the set temperature moves by 1 position and corresponding LED indicator lights up. Press the temperature key repeatedly until the required temperature is selected. The setting will be fixed.

Selection is progressive, varying from +2°C to +8°C. Coldest setting: +2°C. Warmest setting: +8°C Most suitable setting: ECO mode (+3 to +4°C).

Choose the setting keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:

•room temperature

•frequency of opening the door

•quantity of food stored

•appliance location.

3.4Sleep mode of the display

After 30 seconds of no interaction with the appliance, the display goes into the sleep mode. Only LED indicator corresponding to currently set temperature illuminates in low light. All

other LED indicators are off. To deactivate this mode press the temperature key.

3.5 ECO mode

In this mode the temperature is set between +3 and +4°C.

This is the best temperature to ensure good food preservation with minimal energy consumption.

To activate ECO mode press the temperature key repeatedly until LED indicator next to ECO mode icon lights up.

3.6 FROSTMATIC function

If you need to insert a large amount of warm food into fridge compartment (for example after doing the grocery shopping) or rapidly decrease the temperature in the freezer compartment to freeze fresh food quickly, we suggest activating FROSTMATIC function for proper food storage.

To activate this function press the temperature key repeatedly until the LED indicator next to FROSTMATIC icon lights up. Also LED indicator corresponding to +2°C illuminates.

This function stops automatically after 52 hours. When the function deactivates, the previous temperature setting is restored.

You can deactivate this function at any time by pressing the temperature key and choosing a new temperature setting.

This function corresponds both to fridge and freezer compartment.

4. DAILY USE

4.1 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.

Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

When the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature (see "FROSTMATIC Function").

In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

4.2 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours with the FROSTMATIC function turned on.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers from appliance and place food on glass shelf to obtain the best performance.

5. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

ENGLISH 7

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical data chart under "Rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

4.3 Storing food in a fridge compartment

Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

Position the food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Keep the food on all shelves no closer than 20 mm from the rear wall and 15 mm from the door.

4.4 DYNAMICAIR

The DYNAMICAIR function lets the food cool quickly and keeps a more uniform temperature in the compartment. It is recommended to switch on the DYNAMICAIR function when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.

To activate DYNAMICAIR device press the button on it.

The green light comes up.

When you switch off the appliance remember to turn off the fan by pressing button again.

The green light comes off.

5.1 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

8 www.aeg.com

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.

5.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

CAUTION!

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

CAUTION!

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

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 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 operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

5.3 Defrosting

Your appliance is frost free. This means that there is no build up of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the foods. The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan. 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 prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

5.4 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1.Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

2.Remove all food.

3.Clean the appliance and all accessories.

4.Leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

7. INSTALLATION

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 Positioning

This appliance can be installed in a dry, well ventilated indoor where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:

Climate	Ambient temperature
class
SN	+10°C to + 32°C
N	+16°C to + 32°C
ST	+16°C to + 38°C
T	+16°C to + 43°C

7.2 Location

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100mm.
