							Cakes containing cream and oth-
er kinds of pastry products can
be stored in the Longfresh 0°C
compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the Long-
fresh 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have
to be stored at cellar or room
temperature like pineapple,
bananas, grapefruit, melons,
mango, papaya, oranges, lem-
ons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not men-
tioned above should be stored
in the refrigerator compart-
ment (e.g. all sorts of cheese,
cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in the
drawers depends on the content
of humidity in the stored food,
vegetable and fruit and on the
frequency of door opening
The Longfresh 0°C compartment
is also suitable for slow thawing
of food. In this case the thawed
food can be stored in the Long-
fresh 0°C compartment for up to
two days.
Tips:• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will de-
pend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should al-
ways be packed or wrapped up before
storage.
• Animal food always store packed and
dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad
quicker. This means seafood will spoil
before fish which in turn will spoil be-
fore meat. While storing food in a 0°C
compartment storage time for that
kind of food can be increased by up to
three times as well without loss on
quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment
should be taken out of the drawers
roughly 15-30 min before consump-
tion, particularly fruit and vegetables
to be consumed without any addition-
al cooking process. Allowing fruit and
vegetables to return to room tempera-
ture will improve the texture and fla-
vour.
4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
4.1 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 temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
4.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-
ing 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
4.3 Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
12www.aeg.com
 
						

							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
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 re-
frigerator.
4.4 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.
4.5 Hints for storage of frozen
food
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.
5. CARE AND CLEANING
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.
5.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• 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.
ENGLISH13
 
						

							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 appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler
compartment from the LONGFRESH 0°C
compartment can be removed only for
cleaning. To remove pull out the shelf
straight.
The cover plates above the drawers in
the compartment can be taken out for
cleaning.
To make sure fully functionality of the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the low-
est shelf and cover plates must be put
back in their original position after clean-
ing.
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.
5.2 Replacing the carbon filter
To get best performance the carbon air
filter should be changed once every
year.
New active air filters can be purchased
from your local dealer.
Refer to “Installation of the carbon air fil-
ter” for the instructions.
The air filter is a consumable accessory
and as such is not covered by the guar-
antee.
5.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is
automatic.
The water that forms flows into a recipi-
ent on the compressor and evaporates.
This recipient cannot be removed.
5.4 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.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings, in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in oper-
ation.
14www.aeg.com
 
						

							To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1.Switch off the appliance.
2.Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3.Leave the door open and insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, plac-
ing a basin underneath to collect the
defrost water.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compart-
ment. In addition, remove pieces
of ice that break away before de-
frosting is complete.
4.When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and keep the
scraper for future use.
5.Switch on the appliance.
6.After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator 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.
5.5 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following precau-
tions:
•disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap-
pliance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
