A medium setting is generally the most suitable one.

To operate the appliance:

1.Turn the temperature regulator clockwise to obtain a lower temperature inside the appliance.

2.Turn the temperature regulator counterclockwise to obtain a higher temperature inside the appliance.

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

5.3 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

5.4 Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

1.Gradually pull the shelf up until it comes free.

2.Reposition as required.

8 www.aeg.com

Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

5.5 Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

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.

•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).

•A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

6.2Hints for energy saving

•Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

6.3Hints 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:

•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.

6.5 Hints for freezing

•Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned food products.

•For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.

•Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene. Make sure that the packages are airtight.

•To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.

•Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food.

•Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.

•It is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

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 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 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.

ENGLISH 9

6.6 Hints for storage of frozen food

•Make sure that the commercially frozen food products were adequately stored by the retailer.

•Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time.

•Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

•Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

7.3 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

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

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.

7.4 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 back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

10 www.aeg.com

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.

7.5 Defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set a lower temperature, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

1.Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket.

2.Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

WARNING!

Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

3.Leave the door open.

In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.

4.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

5.Switch on the appliance.

After three hours reload the previously removed food into the freezer compartment.

7.6 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.Defrost the appliance (if necessary).
