Refer to Safety chapters. 5.1 Freezing fresh food The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top compartments. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance. The freezing process lasts 24 hours, during this period do not add other food to be frozen. When the freezing process is completed, you can restore previously set temperature (see "FROSTMATIC function"). 5.2 Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours with the FROSTMATIC function turned on. In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical data chart under "Rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). 10 www.aeg.com 5.3 Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. 5.4 Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of icecubes. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. 1. Fill these trays with water 2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment. 5.5 Cold accumulators The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown. This shall be placed on top of the frozen food in the front part. 6. HINTS AND TIPS 6.1 Normal operating sounds The following sounds are normal during operation: • A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped. • A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped. • A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon). • A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off. 6.2 Hints for energy saving • Eco mode / default setting preserves frozen foods while saving energy. • Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy. • Do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket. • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. 6.3 Hints for freezing • Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned food products. • For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions. • Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene. Make sure that the packages are airtight. • To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. • Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food. • Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites. • It is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. 6.4 Hints for storage of frozen food • Make sure that the commercially frozen food products were adequately stored by the retailer. • Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time. • Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. • Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
