AEG S 75340 Kg2 User Manual

							• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear
a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not danger-
ous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
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 set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, caus-
ing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to-
ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
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
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegeta-
ble drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special draw-
er(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
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 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added dur-
ing this period;
• only freeze 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;
• 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;Helpful hints and tips
31
 
						

							• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the re-
tailer;
• 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
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.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• 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 cleaning products or wax pol-
ishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. 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 cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. 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.
Defrosting of the 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.
32Care and cleaning
 
						

							It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera-
tor compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a no frost type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal
walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
WHAT TO DO IF…
CAUTION!
Before troubleshooting, disconnect 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, refrigerant circulation).

							Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
Climate 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
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best
performance, if the appliance is positioned be-
low an overhanging wall unit, the minimum dis-
tance between the top of the cabinet and the
wall unit must be at least 100 mm . Ideally, how-
ever, the appliance should not be positioned be-
low overhanging 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 after installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate cor-
respond to your domestic power supply.
The appliance must be earthed. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact
for this purpose. If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed, connect the appli-
ance to a separate earth in compliance with current regulations, consulting a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not ob-
served.
This appliance complies with the E.E.C. Directives.

							Rear spacers
In the bag with the documentation, there
are two spacers which must be fitted as
shown in the figure.
Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under
the screw head, then tighten again the screws.
Levelling
When placing the appliance ensure that it
stands level. This can be achieved by two adjust-
able feet at the bottom in front.
Removing the shelf holders
Your appliance is equipped with shelf retainers
that make it possible to secure the shelves dur-
ing transportation.
To remove them proceed as follows:
1. Move the shelf holders in the direction of
the arrow (A).
2. Raise the shelf from the rear and push it for-
ward until it is freed (B).
3. Remove the retainers (C).
