another freezing.If the FROSTMATIC button
is accidentally left on, the
freezer will not be damaged,
but energy will be wasted
and it will be automatically
switched off 52 hours later.
The FROSTMATIC Indicator
Light will also go out.4.  FIRST USE4.1  Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand- new product, then dried thoroughly.CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.5.  DAILY USEWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.5.1  Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartments are suitable
for freezing fresh food and storing frozenand deep-frozen food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the 
rating plate , a label located on the
inside of the appliance.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FROSTMATIC function.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
5.2  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 runat least 2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than 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).5.3  Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
ENGLISH7      
						

							6. HINTS AND TIPS6.1  Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant ispumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off.6.2  Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutelynecessary.
6.3  Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some
important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no further food to be frozen should
be added during this period;
• freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely
frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the
quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that thepackages 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 after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack toenable you to keep tab of the storage
time.6.4  Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequatelystored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred 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 rapidly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
7.  CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.7.1  General warningsCAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any
maintenance operation.This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore
only be carried out by
authorized technicians.www.aeg.com8    
						

							The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.7.2  Periodic cleaningCAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage
the cooling system.CAUTION!
When moving the cabinet,
lift it by the front edge to
avoid scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
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.
7.3  No-Frost technology
In order to facilitate the removal of the
ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by
electric heating during the defrosting
procedure. The ventilator is in OFF
position. The defrost water will drip in
the tray placed at the compressor and
will evaporate. In the course of the
defrosting procedure (approx. 30
minutes) the evaporator becomes warm
but it has no influence on the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in
order to avoid any moisture loss as a
result of air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes.
It is recommended to put all foods in the
baskets in the freezer compartment.7.4  Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to
prevent unpleasant smells.
WARNING!
If you want to keep the
appliance switched on, ask
somebody to check it once
in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.8.  TROUBLESHOOTINGWARNING!
