IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information.

This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable available from your local Service Force Centre.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Child Safety

Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Keep all packaging well away from children.

General Safety

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Take utmost care when handling your appliance so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

The appliance must not be located close to cookers, radiators or boilers.

Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.

Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.

During Use

Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out.

Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

Ice lollies can cause ‘frost/freezer burns’ if consumed straight from the freezer.

Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost Instructions.

Use of the fridge compartment

Setting the temperature

The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the thermostat control knob situated at the top of the appliance.

To operate the appliance proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «O» position.

Position = minimum coldness

Position ● = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most suitable.

The thermostat control regulates the temperature both within the fridge and the freezer compartment. The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance depends on the following factors:

room temperature

how often the door is opened

how much food is stored

position of the appliance

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the salad drawers.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the salad drawers.

Butter & 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.

Shopping Function

If you need to insert a large amount of warm food, for example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest activating the Shopping function to chill the products more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food which is already in the refrigerator and/or freezer.

The shopping function is activated by pressing key C (several times if necessary) until the corresponding

icon appears

The shopping function shuts off automatically after approximately 6 hours.

It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by pressing key C (see paragraph "Function Activation").

Door open acoustic alarm

An acoustic alarm will sound when the door is left open for around 5 minutes.

The door open alarm conditions are indicated by:

-flashing symbol (1);

-red display illumination;

-beeping sound.

Press the button (C) to stop the acoustic alarm.

When normal conditions are restored (door closed):

- the acoustic alarm will stop.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.

AEG-Electrolux ERN34800 User Manual

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator have runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired .

For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie over the rear ones.

D338

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height.To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes off, then reposition as required.

Bottle holder

Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to store previously opened bottles.

To obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it can rotate upwards and be placed on the next higher level.

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can be turned on with the switch A ( see fig. 1). The green light, when on, means that the fan is working.

It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.
