SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In the interest of your safety and to en­sure the correct use, before installing
and first using the appliance, read this
user manual carefully, including its hints
and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mis­takes and accidents, it is important to
ensure that all people using the appli­ance are thoroughly familiar with its op­eration and safety features. Save these
instructions and make sure that they re­main with the appliance if it is moved or
sold, so that everyone using it through
its life will be properly informed on ap­pliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc­tions as the manufacturer is not respon­sible for damages caused by omission.

1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re­duced physical, sensory or mental ca­pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv­en supervision or instruction concern­ing use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to en­sure that they do not play with the ap­pliance.

• Keep all packaging well away from
children. There is risk of suffocation.

• If you are discarding the appliance
pull the plug out of the socket, cut the
connection cable (as close to the ap­pliance as you can) and remove the
door to prevent playing children to
suffer electric shock or to close them­selves into it.

• If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appli­ance having a spring lock (latch) on
the door or lid, be sure to make that
spring lock unusable before you dis­card the old appliance. This will pre­vent it from becoming a death trap for
a child.

1.2 General safety

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 9

4.1 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to
low temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm­er settings to allow automatic defrost­ing and so a saving in electricity con­sumption.

4.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporat-

ing liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly

if it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

5. CARE AND CLEANING

4.3 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap
and should be stored in the bottle rack
on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re­frigerator.

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.

5.1 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regu­larly:

• clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.

• regularly check the door seals and

wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage

any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean­ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam­age the surface and leave a
strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) 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.

Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface clean­ers contain chemicals that can attack/

www.aeg.com

10

damage the plastics used in this appli­ance. For this reason it is recommended
that the outer casing of this appliance is
only cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.

5.2 Periods of non-operation

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

5.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator

• disconnect the appliance from elec-

tricity supply

• remove all food

• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap-

pliance and all accessories

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent

unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some­body to check it once in a while to pre­vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.

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.
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. Use the special cleaner pro­vided, which you will find already inser­ted into the drain hole.
