www.aeg.com

DAILY USE

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 Fast

Freezing function at least 24 hours before

placing the food to be frozen in the freez-

er compartment.

Place the fresh food to be frozen in the

top 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 fridge.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-

ing this period do not add other food to

be frozen.

After 24 hours, when the freezing process

is completed, deactivate the Fast Freez-

ing function (see "Fast Freezing func-

tion").

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 24 hours on the Fast Freeze setting.

If large quantities of food are to be stor-

ed, remove the drawers but the lower one

from appliance and place food on evapo-

rator shelves to obtain the best perform-

ance.

In the event of accidental defrost-

ing, for example due to a power

failure, if the power has been off

for longer that 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).

THAWING

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be-

ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-

tor compartment or at room temperature,

depending on the time available for this

operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-

zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,

cooking will take longer.

ENGLISH

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

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 refrig-

erant is being pumped around and you

will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-

ing 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.

• When the compressor switches on or

switches off, you will hear a faint "click"

of the temperature regulator. This is

correct.

HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run con-

tinuously, causing frost or ice on the

evaporator. If this happens, set the

Temperature Regulator toward warmer

settings to allow automatic defrosting

and so a saving in electricity consump-

tion.

HINTS FOR FREEZING

To help you make the most of the freez-

ing 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 thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to ena-

ble it to be rapidly and completely fro-

zen and to make it possible subse-

quently to thaw only the quantity re-

quired;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the pack-

ages 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 af-

ter removal from the freezer compart-

ment, 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:

• make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by

the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-

ferred 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 rap-

idly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period indi-

cated by the food manufacturer.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Before using the appliance for the first

time, wash the interior and all internal ac-

cessories 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 car-

rying out any maintenance opera-

tion.

This appliance contains hydrocar-

bons in its cooling unit; mainte-

nance and recharging must there-

fore only be carried out by author-

ized technicians.

PERIODIC CLEANING

The equipment has to be cleaned regular-

ly:

• 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 clean-

ing products or wax polishes to

clean the interior as this will dam-

age 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 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 instruc-

tions below:

• switch off the appliance and pull out

the plug from the wall socket

• remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-

eral 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 freezer.

• Leave the door open and insert the

plastic scraper in the appropriate seat-

ing at the bottom centre, placing a ba-

sin underneath to collect the defrost

water

• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts

to thaw (use a wood or a plastic scra-

per)

• when all the ice has melted, dry the in-

terior thoroughly and keep the scraper

for future use.

• switch on the appliance and replace the

frozen foodstuff.

ENGLISH

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.

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools to

scrape off frost from the evapora-

tor 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 man-

ufacturer. A temperature rise of

the frozen food packs, during de-

frosting, may shorten their safe

storage life.
