The changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display. The temperature is adjusted by one display field with each press of a button. Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. 3 If the buttons are not pressed again for approx. 5 seconds the temperature display will change from the DESIRED temperature to the ACTUAL temperature. The display changes from flashing to continuous illumination. FAST CHILL The FAST CHILL function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator, e.g. drinks and salads for a party. 0 1. The FAST CHILL function is switched on by pressing the FAST CHILL but- ton. The yellow light illuminates. The FAST CHILL function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED temperature of +2 °C is automatically selected. The FAST CHILL function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours. The originally selected DESIRED temperature is again valid. The temperature display shows the ACTUAL refrigerator temperature. 2. The FAST CHILL function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the FAST CHILL button again. The yellow light goes out. 18 818 19 99-00/7 Switching the Appliance off 0 1. To switch off, press the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. 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 to be removed from service for a lengthy period: 0 1. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. 2. Unplug or switch off at the mains supply. 3. Clean thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning"). 4. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours. Opening the Door If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. 818 19 99-00/7 19 Interior Fittings Storage Shelves 0 1. A storage shelf must be inserted into the lower guide track above the salad bin. It must always remain in this position, so that fruits and vegetables remain fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Salad Bin The salad bin can be divided into sections by inserting the dividers. 0 1. Insert the large divider in the middle or to the left side of the salad bin as required. 2. If the large divider is inserted in the middle of the bin the right hand side can be further divided by inserting the small divider in the middle or rear position. 3 20 The ventilation grille above the salad bin improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer. 818 19 99-00/7 Interior Fittings Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Bottle Holder Some models are equipped with a bottle holder in the bottle compartment. This is used to prevent individual bottles from falling over and can be slid sideways. 818 19 99-00/7 21 Proper Storage For physical reasons, the refrigerator compartment has different temperature zones. The coldest zone is on the lowest storage shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable trays. Warmer zones are the upper storage shelves and door racks. The arrangement (see fig.) indicates where different types of food are best stored to make the most of temperature variations. For instance, the shelf immediately above the fruit and vegetable trays should be 5 °C for safe storage of meat and fish products. In order to check that the appliance is at 5 °C on the lowest shelf you can carry out the following test yourself: 0 1. Place a cup of water in the center of the said shelf with a thermometer inside. 2. Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first thing in the morning. 3. At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does, you need to adjust the temperature to a colder setting. For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available and can be obtained free of charge by contacting: Foodsense, London SE99 7TT. Tel: 0645 556000 Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be covered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or transfer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are suitable for packing: – polyethylene bags; – plastic containers with lids; – special plastic covers with rubber retainers; – aluminium foil. 22 818 19 99-00/7 Hints and Tips Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. • A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator: • Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. • Do not store food uncovered. • Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible. • Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. 2 Energy Saving Advice • Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. • Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. • Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. • Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. 818 19 99-00/7 23 Defrosting The Fridge defrosts automatically The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base, and then evaporated. Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. Internal Cleaning 0 1. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. 1 Warning! • Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. 2. Clean the drain hole of the water through at regular intervals and ensure that the drain hole is clear at all times. If blocked, carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain outlet to remove the blockage. 3. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. External Cleaning 0 1. Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. 24 1 Warning! • Do not use abrasive products • There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should be taken when cleaning. 2 Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance and increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. 818 19 99-00/7 Maintenance and Cleaning Replacing the Light Bulb 1 Warning! Danger of electrical shock! Before replacing the light bulb switch appliance off and remove the mains plug. Light bulb specifications: 220-240 V, max. 25 W, fitting: E 14 Important! When replacing the lamp only fit a lamp of suitable diameter, that is at least 18 mm, this will ensure a good seat on the rubber seal. Where to purchase: specialist retailer or AEG Service Force Centre. 0 1. To switch the appliance off press the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. 2. Unplug the mains plug. 3. To change the light bulb, undo the cross head screw and remove the light bulb cover downwards. 4. Change the defective light bulb. 5. Refit the light bulb cover and the cross head screw. 818 19 99-00/7 25 Something Not Working Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, check the following points. Symptom Solution Check there is power at the socket No power to the appliance. Check there is not a power cut by checking the household lights. Check the fuse has not blown. Check the ambient temperature is within the appliances operating limits The temperature in the refrigerator is too Check the temperature regulator is high. turned to the correct setting relative to ambient conditions. Adjust the temperature regulator to give correct temperature control. Check that the door is closed. The compressor runs continuously Large quantities of food have recently been placed in the cabinet and/or door is frequently opened. Check that air ventilation is not obstructed. Ensure the bulb is correctly fitted. The light does not come on. Replace the bulb if it has blown. Check the door light switch is not jammed. 26 Excessive build up of frost. If the door seal is not airtight (probably after reversing the door) apply warm air to the non sealing area using a hair dryer set to a gentle heat. (do not use a fan heater for this purpose). This will make the rubber more supple and allow it to revert to its original shape. Noise Refer to Normal Operating Sounds 818 19 99-00/7 Symptom Solution Water on the floor Water drain hole is blocked, see "Maintenance and Cleaning". The compressor does not start immediately after changing the temperature setting. This is normal, the compressor starts after a period of time. If after the above checks there is still a fault, call your local AEG Service Force Centre. In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown. Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls. Regulations, Standards, Guidelines This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), accident prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20) and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE) were observed in the manufacture of this appliance. The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. ; This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines: – 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines. – 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989 (including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline 818 19 99-00/7 27 Technical Terminologyy • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work. • Evaporator The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible. • Compressor The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser. • Condenser The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance. 28 818 19 99-00/7 Guarantee Conditions AEG offer the following guarantee to the first purchaser of this appliance. 1.
