DAILY USE

ENGLISH

11

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 on the higher settings.

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
re-frozen (after cooling).

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

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

Thermostat requires adjustment

Correct temperature

placing the food to be frozen in the freez­er compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
FROSTMATIC compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing 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.

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.

To assist you in controlling your appliance
correctly we have fitted a temperature in­dicator to your refrigerator.
The symbol at the side indicates the cold­est area in the refrigerator.
The coldest area goes from the glass shelf
of the fruit and vegetable drawer to the
symbol or to the shelf positioned at the
same height of the symbol.
For proper storage of the food, ensure
that the temperature indicator is display­ing the “OK” message.
If “OK” is not displayed adjust the tem­perature controller to a colder setting and
wait 12 hours before checking the tem­perature indicator again.
After putting fresh food into the appli­ance or after opening the door repeatedly
for a long period, it is normal for the
“OK” message to disappear.

AIR COOLING

The ClimaTech technology let food cool
quickly and a more uniform temperature
in the compartment
This device allows for rapid cooling of
foods and a more uniform temperature in
the compartment.

MOVABLE SHELVES

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

BOTTLE RACK

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.

FRESHBOX DRAWER

The drawer is suitable for storing fresh
food like fish, meat, seafood, because the
temperature is lower here than in the rest
of the fridge

POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES

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

and, upon reaching the end point, re­move the basket by tilting its front up­wards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift
the front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer. Once you are over the end points,
push the baskets back in their position.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH

15

NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing.
This is correct.

• When the compressor is on, the refrig­erant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat­ing noise from the compressor. This is
correct.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not
dangerous physical phenomenon. This
is correct.

HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING

To obtain the best performance:

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

• do not remove the cold accumulators
from the freezer basket.

HINTS FOR FRESH FOOD
REFRIGERATION

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating
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

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.

HINTS FOR FREEZING

To help you make the most of the freez­ing process, here are some important
hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the
rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor­oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to ena­ble it to be rapidly and completely fro­zen and to make it possible subse­quently to thaw only the quantity re­quired;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the pack­ages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately af­ter removal from the freezer compart­ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt;

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

HINTS FOR STORAGE OF
FROZEN FOOD

To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:

www.aeg.com

16

• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by
the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans­ferred from the foodstore to the freezer
in the shortest possible time;

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

• once defrosted, food deteriorates rap­idly and cannot be refrozen;

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

CARE AND CLEANING

ENGLISH

17

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac­cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.

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.

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/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.

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

www.aeg.com

18

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER

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.

To remove the frost, follow the
instructions below:

• pull out the plug from the wall socket or
switch off the appliance

• remove any stored food, wrap it in sev­eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place

• remove the freezer drawers

• put insulating material around the
drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside
the freeze

• Loosen the drainage channel from its
resting position, push it in according to
the illustration and place it in the bot­tom freezer drawer where water can
collect

• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts
to thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper

• when all the ice has melted, clean and
wipe the cabinet dry, then put the
drainage channel back in place.

• switch on the cabinet and replace the
frozen foodstuff.

It is recommended to operate the ap­pliance at the highest position of the
thermostatic control for some hours so
that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.

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.

WARNING!

Read the "Safety Information"
carefully for your safety and cor­rect operation of the appliance
before installing the appliance.

POSITIONING

Install this appliance at a location where
the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating
plate of the appliance:

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

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
100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below over­hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is
ensured by one or more adjustable feet at
the base of the cabinet.

WARNING!

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