BEFORE USE

Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray. Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section "Installation".

Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, l eave it standing upright for about 2 hours. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.

Using the fridge

To start the fridge and set the correct temperature

Switching on:

Switch on the fridge by pressing the power switch.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature flashes in the temperature display (The temperature can be set between +2°C and +8°C.) "+" raises the temperature. "-" lowers the temperature.

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.

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.

AEG/Electrolux 8184235-00/3

Switching off

To switch off, push the ON/OFF button. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.

Note:

The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there i s no power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power supply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.

Cabinet interior

The shelves and door compartments are removable and can easily be re-arranged. Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed. The lower door compartment and the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer must not be moved. They are fitted to ensure air circulation inside the cabinet. Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and thus prevent food products from touching the cooling plate.
