1. Clean the inner parts of the appli-

ance and all the accessories with warm water and neutral detergent.

2. Make sure that the appliance and the

accessories are fully dry.

3. Connect the mains plug to the mains

4. Activate the appliance and set the

temperature. Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or sol- vents to clean the appliance and the accessories.

3.2 Activating the appliance

and setting the temperature Turn the temperature knob clockwise to activate the appliance and, at the same time, to set the temperature. The numbers that are on the knob refer to different temperatures of cold. Turn the temperature knob to lower set- tings to obtain minimum cold tempera- ture. ENGLISH 29Turn the temperature knob to higher settings to obtain maximum cold tem- perature. We recommend that you set a medium cold temperature. The conditions that follow can have an effect on the temperature setting.

• The room temperature and the loca- tion where the appliance is installed.

• How frequently the opening of the ap- pliance door occurs.

• The quantity of food that is in the ap- pliance.

4.1 Freezing the fresh food

The freezer is applicable to freeze fresh food and for the storage of frozen food and of deep-frozen food. If the temperature knob is set at a medium position, it is not nec- essary to change the setting. If you want to freeze the food more quickly, set the tempera- ture knob at a higher position. In this condition, the temperature of the fridge can decrease to 0 °C and more. If this occurs, set the temperature knob to a lower position.

4.2 Storage of frozen food

Do not put immediately frozen food in the freezer if the appliance is new or was deactivated for a period of time. Set the temperature knob at the highest position and let the appliance operate for minimum 2 hours. A power failure can cause the de- frosting of the freezer. If the power was off, for a period of time longer than the “Rising Time” value, you must use or cook immediately the defrosted food. Refer to “TECHNICAL IN- FORMATION” for the value. You can freeze the cooked food when it becomes cool.

Before you cook frozen food or deep- frozen food, thaw the food in the fridge or at room temperature. It is possible to cook small quantities of frozen food directly from the freezer, but this increases the cooking time.

You can put the glass shelves at differ- ent heights.

www.aeg.com4.5 Positioning the door shelves You can put the door shelf at different heights.

Pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it disengages.

Put the shelf in the new position.

• Do not to open the door of the fridge or of the freezer frequently .

• Do not keep the door of the fridge or of the freezer open for more than the necessary time.

• If the appliance operates continuously and there is frost on the internal rear part, the cause can be: – The temperature knob is set at the lowest position. – The room temperature, where the appliance is installed, is too warm. – The appliance is full. Set the temperature knob at a higher position. The automatic defrosting starts and the energy consumption de- creases.

• Do not put hot food in the fridge. Wait until it becomes cool.

• Do not put in the fridge liquids that evaporate.

• Put all the food, that has a strong fla- vour or odour, in containers.

• Make sure that there is air circulation around the food.

• Put all types of meat in polythene bags. Put them on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Do not keep the meat in the fridge for more than 2 days.

• Put a cover on cooked food and cold dishes and put them on one of the shelves.

• Wash fruit and vegetables and put them in the vegetable drawer.

• Put butter and cheese in special air- tight containers, aluminium foil or pol- ythene bags.

• Make sure that milk bottles have a cap and put them in the bottle shelf on the appliance door.

• Do not keep in the fridge bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic that are without packaging.

• The rating plate gives the indication of the maximum quantity of food that the freezer can freeze in 24 hours.

• The freezing of the food is completed in 24 hours. Do not put other food in the freezer during this time.

• Put the food in small quantities in the freezer. This helps to freeze quickly the food and to thaw only the neces- sary quantity. ENGLISH 31• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or put it in polythene bags. Make sure that the packaging is airtight.

• Do not put fresh food together with frozen food. This to prevent the tem- perature of the frozen food to in- crease.

• The storage time for fat food is shorter than for non-fat food or for low-fat food. The salt decreases the storage time of the food.

• We recommend that you write, on each packaging, the date of when the food was frozen.

5.4 Storage of the frozen food

• When you buy frozen food, make sure that you put it in the freezer in a very short time.

• When you thaw frozen food, you must cook it in a very short time. It is not possible to freeze again food that was frozen before.

• Clean all the parts of the appliance and all the accessories only with warm water and neutral detergent. Make sure that the appliance and the acces- sories are fully dry.

• Clean the gasket of the door regularly. To replace a damaged gasket, contact the Service.

• Clean the grill of the condenser and the compressor, that are behind the appliance, with a brush. This helps to decreases the energy consumption and keeps the appliance in good con- ditions.

• Be careful not to pull, move or to cause damage to the pipes or the cables.

• Be careful not to cause dam- age to the cooling unit.

• Do not clean the appliance with abrasive products, abra- sive cleaning pads, solvents, detergents with perfume or wax polish. After maintenance, connect the mains plug to the mains socket.

6.2 Automatic defrosting of the fridge

The removal of frost occurs automatically when the motor compressor stops dur- ing operation. The water drains out through the drain hole and collects in the water container where it evaporates. The water container is behind the appli- ance, above the motor compressor. The drain hole is in the fridge on the rear part. To prevent water to collect in other parts of the fridge, make sure that the drain hole is always clean. Use the cleaning tool that is in the drain hole.
