							Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
5.5 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
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;
• lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones; salt reduces the stor-
age life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer com-partment, 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.5.6 Hints for storage of frozen
food
The freezer baskets ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers except
for the bottom basket which needs to be
in place to provide good air circulation.
To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially fro-
zen foodstuffs were adequately stored
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 neces-
sary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rap-
idly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period in-
dicated by the food manufacturer.
6. CARE AND CLEANING
6.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories 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 abra-
sive powders, as these will dam-
age the finish.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance oper-
ation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
6.2 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
ENGLISH31
 
						

							• 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 appliancewith 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 clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. 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.
6.3 Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a drain
hole into a special container at the back
of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and drip-
ping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which
you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.
6.4 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
instructions below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket
or switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in
several 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 plac-
ing bowls with hot water (not boiling) in-
side the freeze
• Loosen the drainage channel from its
resting position, push it in according
to the illustration and place it in the
bottom freezer drawer where water
can collect
32www.aeg.com
 
						

							• carefully scrape off the ice when it
starts to thaw. Use a wood or a plastic
scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and
wipe the cabinet dry, then put the
drainage channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet and replace the
frozen foodstuff.
It is recommended to operate the ap-
pliance at the highest position of the
thermostatic control for some hours
so that it can reach the sufficient stor-
ing temperature as soon as possible.Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapo-
rator 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
manufacturer. A temperature rise
of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION!
Before troubleshooting, discon-
nect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or
competent person must do the
troubleshooting that is not in this
manual.There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-
ant circulation).

8. INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Read the "Safety Information"
carefully for your safety and cor-
rect operation of the appliance
before installing the appliance.
8.1 Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where
the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating
plate of the appliance:
Cli-
mate
classAmbient temperature
SN+10°C to + 32°C
N+16°C to + 32°C
ST+16°C to + 38°C
T+16°C to + 43°C
ENGLISH35
 
						

							8.2 Location
AB
100 mm
min 20 mm
The appliance should be installed well
away from sources of heat such as radia-
tors, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure
that air can circulate freely around the
back of the cabinet. To ensure best per-
formance, if the appliance is positioned
below an overhanging wall unit, the min-
imum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least
100 mm . Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is
ensured by one or more adjustable feet
at the base of the cabinet.
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect
the appliance from the mains
power supply; the plug must
therefore be easily accessible af-
ter installation.
8.3 Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the volt-
age and frequency shown on the rating
plate correspond to your domestic pow-
er supply.
The appliance must be earthed. The
power supply cable plug is provided
with a contact for this purpose. If the do-mestic power supply socket is not earth-
ed, connect the appliance to a separate
earth in compliance with current regula-
tions, consulting a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsi-
bility if the above safety precautions are
not observed.
This appliance complies with the E.E.C.
Directives.
8.4 Rear spacers
