Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand- new product, then dried thoroughly.CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.5.  DAILY USEWARNING!
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.
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, return to the required temperature (see
"FROSTMATIC Function").
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.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.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers from
appliance and place food on glass shelf
to obtain the best performance.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 re-
frozen (after cooling).5.3  Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-
cubes.
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water

compartment.
5.4  Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment 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.
ENGLISH7      
						

							5.5 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
and the bottle shelf to
ensure correct air circulation.5.6  Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes
free.
2. Reposition as required.6.  HINTS AND TIPS6.1  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 ispumped.
• 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
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutelynecessary.
6.3  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 it6.4  Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelfabove the vegetable 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 drawer(s) provided.
www.aeg.com8    
						

							• Butter and cheese: these should beplaced in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much
air as possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be stored on the door bottle shelf, or(if equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.6.5  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 hours is shown onthe rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no further food to be frozen should
be added during this period;
• freeze only 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;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack toenable you to keep tab of the storage
time.6.6  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 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
necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
7.  CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.7.1  General warningsCAUTION!
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.The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.7.2  Periodic cleaningCAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage
the cooling system.ENGLISH9       
						

							CAUTION!
When moving the cabinet,
lift it by the front edge to
avoid scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
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.
7.3  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.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
7.4  Defrosting the freezerCAUTION!
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.About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to
build up sufficient chill
reserve for the interruption
in operation.
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.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place. 
WARNING!
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the door open. 
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water inthe freezer compartment. In addition,remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously removed food into the freezer
compartment.
