AEG Sc 81840 5i Operating And Installation Instruction

							32Interior AccessoriesStorage Shelves
The  glass  shelf  above  the  fruit  and
vegetable  compartment  should
always  remain  in  position,  to  ensure
fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer.
The remaining storage shelves can be
adjusted to various heights:
Pull the storage shelf forward until it
can be tipped up or down and remo-
ved.
To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Adjustment for tall goods:
Remove the front half of the two-part vario glass storage shelf and insert it
at  a  different  level.  Space  is  thus  gained  for  storage  of  tall  goods  on  the
underlying storage shelf.
Variable Inner Door
The  door  compartments  can  be  pulled  up  and  removed,  and  inserted  at
other positions as needed.
Moisture regulator
There is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vege-
table compartments. 
The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider.
Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.
With  the  ventilation  slots  open,  more  air  circulation  results  in  a  lower  air
moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.


(e.g. the summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell. 
1. To turn on the holiday function, press button (C).
2. Press  continuosly  button  (C)  until  the  letter  “H”  (Holiday)  appears  on  the
temperature indicator. The temperature indicator can modify the displayed
temperature up to +8°C, 1° at a tim. 8°C will be followed by the letter “H”.
Now the refrigerator is in the “holiday” function in the energy-saving mode.
The fridge compartment must be empty with holiday function on.

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  °C  or  colder
before freezing food.
•  Please  observe  the  freezing  capacity  given  on  the  rating  plate.  The  free-
zing 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 flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges 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  free-
zer. 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.
Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could free-
ze to the food.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
compartment.  Unfrozen  food  must  not  touch  items  already  frozen,
otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. 
2. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

Fresh food  refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable  drawer(s)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 drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wap-
ped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. Left slider: Ventilation slots closed. 
When the ventilation slots are closed,
the  natural  moisture  content  of  the
food in the fruit and vegetable com-
partments is preserved for longer.
Variable Storage Box
Some  models  are  equipped  with  a
variable  storage  box  which  is  fitted
under a door shelf compartment and
can be slid sideways. 
The  box  can  be  inserted  under  any
door shelf compartment.
1. To  change  the  position  of  the  stora-
ge  box;  lift  the  shelf  compartment
with the box upwards and out of the
holders  in  the  door  and  remove  the
retaining  bracket  out  of  the  guide
under the shelf compartment.
2. Reverse the above operation to insert
the shelf at a different height.
36FROSTMATIC
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the
same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC but-
ton. The yellow light illuminates.
If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance switch off
the FROSTMATIC function after 52 hours. The yellow light goes out.
2. The  FROSTMATIC  function  can  be  ended  manually  at  any  time  by  pressing
the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Alarm reset button
In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power
cut) warning light (O) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.
After  the  temperature  has  returned  to  normal,  the  warning  light  (O)  will
continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.
When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in the
compartment flashes on the indicator.
Switching the Appliance off
The refrigerator compartment can be switched off independently of the
freezer compartment.
By  the  switching  off  of  the  freezer  compartment  it  is  switched  off  also
the refrigerator compartment.
To  switch  off  the  refrigerator,  hold  down  the  ON/OFF  button  (B)  for  the
refrigerator for ca. 5 Sec. .
To switch off the appliance, hold down the ON/OFF button (I) for approx. 5
seconds. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the
temperature display. On reaching "1" the appliance will switch off. The tem-
perature display will go off.
Note: The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there
is no power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power
supply,  the  appliance  returns  to  the  same  operating  state  as  before  the
interruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display
goes off (see above).
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3. Defrost  the  freezer  compartment  and  clean  the  appliance  thoroughly  (see
section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
4. Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.

temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESI-
RED  temperature  (Temperature  display  flashes)  by  pressing  one  of  the  two
buttons, „J“ or „L“. 
• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24
hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL tem-
perature.

DESIRED temperature means: 
The temperature that has been selected for inside the freezer. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means: 
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature displayThe temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
• During  normal  operation,  the  temperature  currently  present  in  the  freezer
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. 
• When  the  temperature  is  being  adjusted  a  flashing  display  indicates  the
freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature). Starting Up - Setting the Temperature1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 
2. Press  ON/OFF  button  (I)  for  the  functioning  of  the  whole  appliance.  The
green  mains  pilot  indicator  illuminates.  The  alarm  light  flashes  since  the
temperature is reached. The buzzer sounds.
3. Pressing button “P” the buzzer stops.
4. Press either the „J“ or „L“ button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
5. Set the required temperature by pressing the „J“ or „L“ buttons (see section
"Temperature  setting  buttons").  The  temperature  display  will  immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From  a  food  safety  point  of  view  -18  °C  should  be  considered  sufficiently
cold for storing food in the freezer.
6. The  alarm  light,when  the  set  temperature  is  reached.  Press  the  alarm  but-
ton to turn off the buzzer.Ice packs
There are two 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.
