User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX OKO ARCTIS.SUPER.3140-4.GS

[. . . ] Tips and notes concerning economical and environmentally sound use of the appliance are marked with the cloverleaf. Explanations of the technical terminology used in the operating instructions can be found at the end in the section "Technical Terminology". The operating instructions contain instructions for the correction of possible malfunctions by the user in the section "Something not working". If these instructions should not be sufficient, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Printed on paper manufactured with environmentally sound processes. [. . . ] The appliance electronics automatically recognize, when the fast freezing process can be ended, and automatically switches off the FAST FREEZE function (after approx. 30 to 51 hours, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen). 24 818 16 35-00/7 0 You can stop the fast freezing process manually at any time by pressing the FAST CHILL/-FREEZE button again. 3 The FAST FREEZE function can only be switched on when the refrigerator temperature regulator button is in the recessed position. Switching the Appliance Off In order to protect frozen goods, the appliance is guarded against accidental switching off (child-proof). Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be switched off independently of one another. A so-called "count down" is started in the temperature display, which counts backwards from "5" to "0". Illumination at the temperature display goes off. 3 0 0 0 0 If the appliance is not to be used for an extended period: Switch appliance off by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for about 5 seconds. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning"). Leave door open after defrosting to the build up of odours. 818 16 35-00/7 25 Stand-by Mode In the stand-by mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately +15°C. In stand-by mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer possible. Without the stand-by mode leaving the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould. 0 To activate the stand-by mode first press temperature regulator for refrigerator, so that it is freed from its recessed position. This is used to prevent individual bottles from falling over and can be slid sideways. 30 818 16 35-00/7 Correct 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 drawers. 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 Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer inside. 0 Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first thing in the morning. 0 At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does, you need to adjust the temperature regulator 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. 818 16 35-00/7 31 Freezing Except for the bottom drawer, which serves only for storage purposes, all compartments and drawers in the freezer compartment are suitable for freezing fresh food. · Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18°C or colder. [. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ]
