Frequently Asked Questions - G 78850 I AEG-ELECTROLUX

How do I set the temperature on my AEG-Electrolux G 78850 I freezer?

Turn the temperature regulator knob (F) to the desired setting. Setting '1' is the warmest, setting '4' (end-stop) is the coldest. The exact setting depends on the quantity of food stored, how often the door is opened, and the ambient temperature.

How do I use the fast freeze function?

Press the fast freeze knob (A) 24 hours before introducing fresh food for freezing. The yellow light (B) comes on. Once the red alarm light (C) goes out, reset the fast freeze knob by pressing again; the yellow light will turn off.

What does the red alarm light mean?

The red temperature alarm light (C) illuminates when the appliance is started up but the storage temperature has not yet been reached, or if the temperature rises due to a fault, excessive fresh food, or the door being left open too long. An audible alarm also sounds. Press the fast freeze knob to silence the alarm.

How do I defrost the freezer?

When frost thickness exceeds 4 mm, remove frozen food, wrap in newspaper and store in a cool place. Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Leave the door open. Insert the plastic scraper into the recess under the defrost water channel and place a basin to collect water. After defrosting, dry thoroughly and restart.

How should I clean my freezer?

Switch off and unplug the appliance. Remove food. Clean interior and accessories with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steam cleaners. Wipe dry and leave door open for a while before restarting.

What should I do if the temperature alarm sounds?

Check if the door was left open or if a large amount of warm food was added. Press the fast freeze knob to silence the alarm. If the red light stays on, adjust the temperature setting or contact customer service if the problem persists.

Can I change the door opening side?

Yes, the door is reversible. Unplug the appliance before starting. Follow the instructions in the manual to remove hinges and reattach on the opposite side. The procedure requires some DIY skills.

What is the freezing capacity of this model?

The maximum freezing capacity is 9 kg of fresh food per 24 hours. If freezing food on consecutive days, do not exceed 2/3 to 3/4 of this capacity (approx. 6-7 kg) to maintain quality.

How should I store frozen food properly?

Pack food airtight to prevent drying and odor transfer. Place food to be frozen in the drawers; unfrozen food must not touch already frozen items. Use the freezing calendar on the drawers to determine storage times (up to 9 months depending on food type).

What should I do if the freezer does not work?

Check that the appliance is switched on, the mains plug is inserted, and the fuse has not blown. If the green light (D) is off, ensure the ON/OFF knob is pressed. If the problem persists, contact qualified service personnel.

• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
  – lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
• butyric acid;
• cleansers which contain acetic acid.

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

Defrosting

Refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

Freezer

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary 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 remove or unscrew the safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into the recess provided under the defrost water channel and place a collecting basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in the power socket.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze 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 fast freeze button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for freezing of fresh food. The yellow light comes on.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

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.

Ice pack

There is an or more ice packs 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.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18^ or colder before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing 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. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored 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.

Fix cover (D) on guide (B) until it clips into place.

Electrical connection

Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location.

e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or

220 ... 240 V\~ 50 Hz

(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)

The rating plate is inside the appliance on the left.

A correctly installed, earthed socket is required for the electrical supply. The supply must have a fuse rating of at least 10 Amps.

If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm).

Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.
