disables ice making. Existing ice can still be dispensed, and water can be dispensed.

IMPORTANT

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If happening frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the

water 󰘰lter needs to be replaced. As the water 󰘰lter nears the end

of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months or longer since last changing the water

󰘰lter, replace it with a new one.

Poor quality household water

may require the 󰘰lter to be

changed more frequently.

CAUTION

If the water supply to the refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a

17ENGLISH

5HPRYLQJ,FH%LQ

water softener can damage the ice maker.

7.6 Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If refrigerator is not connected to a

water supply or the water supply is

turned o󰘯, turn o󰘯 the ice maker as

described in the previous section.

• The following sounds are normal

when the ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice bin

- Water valve opening or closing

- Running water

• If a large quantity of ice is needed

at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.

• Ice cubes stored too long may

develop an odd 󰘱avor. Empty the ice

bin as explained below.

• When dispensing cubed ice, it is

normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.

• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into

the container before adding liquids.

• It is normal for ice to 󰘰ll to the top of

the ice bin.

7.7 Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1. Turn o󰘯 the ice maker.

2. Remove the ice bin by pulling

straight out.

3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.

4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely

before replacing in the freezer.

5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice

maker on.

• Ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice

bin 󰘰ts into place with the drive

mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

13. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

29ENGLISH

Energy saving tips

We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

• Freezer: The internal con󰘰guration of the appliance is the one that ensures

the most e󰘲cient use of energy.

• Fridge: Most e󰘲cient use of energy is ensured in the con󰘰guration with

the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins

does not a󰘯ect energy consumption.

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

• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.

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

• If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.

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

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 󰘱avours

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.

Hints for refrigeration

• 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 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 them.

Hints for freezing

• Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.

• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh

food in: aluminium foil, plastic 󰘰lm or

bags, airtight containers with lid.

• For more e󰘲cient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.

• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.

30 www.aeg.com

• The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.

• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide - they may explode during freezing.

• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.

• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.

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

• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C.

• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.

• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.

• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.

• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.

• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.

Shopping tips After grocery shopping:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.

• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.

• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.

• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

Switching o󰓐 your appliance

If the appliance needs to be switched

o󰘯 for an extended period, the following

steps should be taken to prevent mould on the appliance.

1. Remove all food.

2. Remove the power plug from

the mains socket.

3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged

open slightly to allow air to circulate.
