Refer to Safety chapters.4.1  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.4.2  Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes
free.
2. Reposition as required. This model is equipped with a
variable storage box which can be
moved sideways.
www.aeg.com8     
						

							4.3 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.WARNING!
For better use of space, the
front half-shelves (A) can be
placed under the rear ones.
(B)Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.4.4  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
FROSTMATIC function and place the
food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer 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 
rating plate , a label located on the
inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
When the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature (see
"FROSTMATIC Function").In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.4.5  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 2 hours on the higher settings.
WARNING!
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).4.6  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.
4.7  Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.

							4.8 Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storagetime in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.5.  HINTS AND TIPS5.1  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.5.2  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 setto low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice
on the evaporator. If this happens, setthe Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket.
5.3  Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
5.4  Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special
drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions
and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an
aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available)
on the bottle rack.5.5  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 the
packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
