AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on
after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set
temperature.

Temperature inside the
fridge

A suitable temperature inside the
fridge is approx. +5°C. If t he
electronics control is set to a too
cold temperature, food with a high
water content may start to freeze if it
has been placed in the coldest places
in the fridge. The picture shows the
coldest and warmest places inside
the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in
the coldest part of the cabinet.

Measuring the temperature

If the temperature is measured using
a standard, single thermometer, this
should be put in a glass of water
centrally placed inside the cabinet.
This will reflect the temperature
inside the food products. Do not
place the thermometer hanging or
lying directly on the shelf.

Hints:

· Distribute foodstuffs to allow
cold air to circulate freely between
the products.

· Do not place food products
directly against the cooling plate on
the rear wall since they may freeze
in this case.

· Also never put warm products
into the cabinet. Wait until they have
cooled down.

· Cover all foods properly to avoid
odours and flavours from tainting
other food.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the
temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or below. Please note, however, that
the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature
setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on
after it has been out of use. The electronics recalls the previously set
temperature.
The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the
DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the
two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER).
Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature
is adjusted by 1°C.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL
temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:

The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge or the freezer
compartment. The DESIRED t emperature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:

The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge
or the freezer compartment. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with
static illuminated numbers.
Once the COOLMATIC- or the FROSTMATIC function has been switched
on the DESIRED temperature that was set originally for the fridge or the
freezer cannot be changed.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest temperature inside the
freezer . If the temperature is measured using a thermometer, put it between
the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen
products. It is normal that the built-in temperature display shows a
temperature slightly above that measured in other ways.

Temperature memory

The temperature memory shows when an alarm has been triggered in the
cabinet.
The temperature memory operates as follows:
When the temperature inside the freezer again falls below -11°C the audible
alarm stops. The temperature display and the red warning lamp will flash to
indicate than an alarm was triggered. When the alarm shut-off button is
pressed, the display then displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet
during the alarm phase and the display stops flashing. By referring to the
temperature display indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to
discard the products inside the freezer.
At about -12°C:
Most food products can be immediately re-frozen. Ice cream is especially
sensitive to temperature changes and should be consumed
as soon as possible.
At -9° - -2°C:
Food products should be prepared (cooked)
prior to eating or re-freezing them.
However, always check the quality of the food yourself to determine if it can
be frozen or if it must be discarded.

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

Freezing

Press the fast freeze button approx.
24 hours prior to placing the food in
the freezer.
You need not press the fast-freeze
button when freezing smaller
quantities of food during any
24-hour period.
Fast freeze is automatically switched
off apporox 50 hours after the button
has been pressed.
Fast freeze can be discontinued by
pressing the fast freeze button once
again.
The yellow fast freeze lamp remains
lit as long as the fast freeze button is
engaged.

Practical advice on freezing

· When freezing products, use the
top shelf, and if necessary the shelf
beneath as this is the coldest part.

· When freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator
moves to the tray/space nearest to
the lower freezing shelf.

- Place the foods directly on the
freezer shelves.

· Spread out the products as much
as possible to allow air to circulate
between them.

· Do not place food products which
are to be frozen directly against
other frozen food. The heat from the
unfrozen food may cause the frozen
food to thaw on the surface.

· Once frozen, re-arrange the
products and put them as close as
possible to each other . The food will
then stay cold longer in the event of
a power failure.

18

· Do not freeze too much food at
the same time. The freezing capacity
of the unit is indicated in the
specifications section.

Check that the cabinet is operating
and keeps the set temperature one
day after switching it on for the first
time. Only after then should the
freezer be used to freeze fresh
foodstuff.

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

14

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum
storage period indicated on the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for more than three months.
Cooked food and low-fat food may be kept up to about six months. Lean
food and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a
raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. Easily thawed foods can be
placed in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven
to thaw foodstuff, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers

The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food
package you want. To gain space,
the drawers can be removed and the
products can be put directly on the
shelves. On all shelves, except the
top shelf, it is possible to place
products that protrude 20 mm from
the front edge. This allows
maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It
is required to assure proper air
circulation.

Cold accumulator

The cold accumulator will keep the
food cold for longer after a power
failure. The cold accumulator will be
most effective when placed on food
at the upper compartment. When
freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator
moves to the tray/space nearest to
the lower freezing shelf.
When defrosting:
Place the cold accumulator on top of
the frozen food to keep it cold.

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

15

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since
water expands as it freezes. Release
the ice cubes by twisting the ice tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time,
they will dry out and the taste is
affected. Thus, throw away old ice
cubes and prepare new ones when
needed.

HINT and TIPS

Saving energy

· Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section
"Installation". When installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.

· Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door
too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor
to often switch on unnecessarily.

· Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.

· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods
and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit

· It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of
the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

· Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing
in the fridge.

· Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge
before being transfered to the freezer.

· Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.

· Carefully follow the advice on freezing products in the section "Using the
freezer". This will prevent wasting energy.

· Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer. A suitable temperature is
in the range of -18°C to -20°C .

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

· Make sure the door gasket is complete and always clean.

16

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

Food Storage

· To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids
which may evaporate, should be placed in the larder compartment.

· Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it straight away. The use of
an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen
food in the freezer immediately.

· Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date
order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Remove suspect food from
you appliance and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

Protect the environment

· Hand over the cabinet packaging and discarded fridges and freezers to a
recycling station. Contact your local council or Environmental Health office
for more information.

· Keep foodstuff in re-usable containers. Cut down on disposable material as
much as possible.

· When cleaning the cabinet, use a mild washing-up detergent.

· Follow the advice in the section "Saving energy"

· The door gasket and coolant used in this cabinet will not harm the ozone
layer.

· All parts in the packaging can be recycled.

· The cabinet has been designed for easy dismantling and subsequent
recycling.

MAINTENANCE and CLEANING

Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be
removed, e.g. to wash the grille.
Unsnap the ventilation grille by
pulling it toward you.
When reassembling the ventilation
grid:
First hook at the hitches on the
lower edge, then press the grind in

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet at regular
intervals.

Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.

Clean the inside and accessories
with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water) Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
Clean out the drip channel inside the
fridge at regular intervals and
ensure that the drip channel is clear
at all times. If blocked carefully
clear using a piece of flexible curtain
wire inserted into the drain outlet to
remove the blockage.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm
soapy water. Remove the ventilation
grille (see the section " Removing the
ventilation grille") and
vacuum-clean under the cabinet.
Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the
compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the
appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

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.
Remove the freezer drawers and
place them on top of each other by
turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around
the drawers, e.g. blankets or
newspapers.
The frozen products can also be
packed closely together and be kept
in a cold location, e.g. in the fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by
placing bowls with hot water (not
boiling) inside the freezer.
Take out the drain spout and place it
in the bottom freezer drawer where
water can collect.
Loosen the ventilation grille to
enable the bowl to fit under the drain
spout.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it
starts to thaw. Use a wood or plastic
scraper. Do not use sharp objects as
these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean
and wipe the cabinet dry, then push
the drain spout back in place.

Never use a hair drier or other
heating appliances to speed up
defrosting. Excessive heat may
damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric
appliance making it live.

Switch on the cabinet and replace
the frozen foodstuff.

Defrosting the fridge

The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost
formation can be prevented by:

· not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.

· avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long.

· do not place foodstuffs directly against the cold cooling plate.

19

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

To chang e the lamp

The light is switched on
automatically when the door is
opened. Before replacing the light
bulb, disconnect the power plug
from the outlet.

In order to replace the lamp, the
lamp cover should be removed
beforehand by removing it with a
screwdriver.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14
socket, maximum rating of 25 W.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar t o prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet is to 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.

Holiday Mode

In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately
+15°C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible t o leave the door of the
empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage:
Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by
persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer
possible. Without the holiday mode leaving t he door closed would lead to
the accumulation of odours and mould.After emptying and cleaning the
appliance, proceed as follows:

1.To set the holiday mode, press the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER)
button. The temperature display will change and indicate in flashing
numbers the DESIRED temperature that is currently set.

2. Press the „+“ (WARMER) button until the temperature display indicates
H (for holiday). The temperature shown in the temperature display will
change in steps of 1°C until it reaches +8°C. After +8°C the value +15°C
will appear in the display with the letter H. The fridge is now operating in
energy-saving holiday mode.
To switch the fridge back to normal operation, press the „-“ (COLDER)
button.
Important! Do not store any goods in the refrigerator when the holiday
mode is in operation. The temperature is regulated at about +15°C when the
holiday mode is in operation. This is too warm for food products.

The cabinet does not
operate at all. Cooling or
interior light does not
operate. No indicator lamps
light.

The cabinet is not switched on.

Power does not reach the cabinet. (Try
connecting another electrical device to the
power outlet.)

The fuse has blown.

The power plug is not properly connected.

Sound level in cabinet is
too high.

The refrigerating system will always
produce some sounds. A pulsing sound is
heard when coolant is pumped inside t he
cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the
thermostat can be heard when the
compressor switches on and off. The sound
level varies depending on the operation of
the cabinet.
If you feel the sound level is incorrect:

Make sure the pipes at the back of the
cabinet do not touch each other. Carefully
bend them if they do.

If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet
wall and pipes) come loose, put them back
in place again.

Carefully follow the instructions in the
chapter "Installing the cabinet".

Power failure Do not unnecessarily open the cabinet,

except when the power cut seems to be
long, in which case the food products
should be moved to another cabinet that
works. If the frozen products are still hard
following the power cut, they may be
immediately refrozen. If the food products
have thawed but are still fresh, they may
be used, however they should be prepared
before re-freezing or eating them.

To obtain the best performance
from the cabinet, ensure:

· the cabinet is placed in a dry, cool
place and is not exposed to direct
sunlight.

· the cabinet is not placed close to a
source of heat, e.g. a cooker or
dishwasher.

· the cabinet is level. The cabinet
should not lean against any wall. If
necessary adjust the feet using the
adjustment spanner supplied.

· there is good air circulation around
the cabinet and that the air channels
below and behind the cabinet are not
blocked. The ventilation space above
the cabinet must be at least 4 cm.

The ventilation space can either be
a) directly above the cabinet, or
b) behind and above the top
cupboard. In this case, the space
behind the cupboard must be at least
50 mm deep.
Cabinet is placed at a location where
the ambient temperature corresponds
to the climate classification*, for
which the appliance i s designed.
* See on the rating plate on the
inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which
ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification.
