Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the „C“ and „E“ buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.

• 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, „C“ or „E“.

• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.

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 freezer. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:

The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.

Temperature display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.

• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the freezer (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature

1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.

2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The alarm light flashes until the temperature is reached. The buzzer sounds. This can be cancelled by pressing the button.

3. Press either the „C“ or „E“ button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.

4. Set the required temperature by pressing the „C“ or „E“ buttons (see section "Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.

From a food safety point of view -18 °C should be considered sufficiently cold for storing food in the freezer.

5. The buzzer stops,when the set temperature is reached.Press the alarm button to turn off the alarm light

Ice pack

There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen

the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.

FROSTMATIC

The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.

1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.

– cleansers which contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.

• 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 liqiud added.

1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.

2. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or discon- nect from the electricity supply.

3. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with lukewarm water and with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water).

4. Dry the appliance thoroughly.

5. When everything is dry turn the appliance back on.

Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of continuous

warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera- tion of the compressor.

• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall

of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.

• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool

first.

• Only leave door open as long as necessary.

• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will

then be used to cool the fridge.

Something Not Working

If the appliance is not functioning correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local AEG Service Force Centre.

Warning!

Repairs should only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunc- tioning.

If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electro nics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 24 hours. The yellow light

goes out.

2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Alarm reset button

In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power cut) warning light (H) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.

After the temperature has returned to normal, the warning light (H) will continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.

When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in the compartment flashes on the indicator.

Switching the Appliance off

To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. 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 is 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.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

1. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display goes off (see above).

2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

3. Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).

4. Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder

before freezing food.

• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-

zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen

within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.

• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer.

• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.

• Ice cream or ice cubes can cause 'frost/freezer' burns if consumed straight from the freezer.

Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food.

1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen as shown in figure. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

2. Press the Frostmatic button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for freezing. The yellow light comes on.

3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

Preparation of Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.

2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube tray or hold it under

running water for a few seconds. Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-

partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar

• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.

• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.

Defrosting

The freezer however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not neces- sary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:

1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a very cool place.

2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or press the “ON/OFF” button

3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.

4. Insert the plastic scraper into the recess provided under the defrost water channel and place a collec- ting basin under it.

5. Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
