5. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the

freezing process, here are some hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on

the 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.

www.aeg.com8

• 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 to

enable you to keep tab of the storage

time.

5.2 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 store to the

freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the lid 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.

6. CARE AND CLEANING

abrasive powders, chlorine

or oil-based cleaners as they

will damage the finish.

6.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before

carrying out any

maintenance operation.

Do not use detergents,

abrasive products, highly

perfumed cleaning products

or wax polishes to clean the

inner side of the appliance.

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost as you

could damage the

appliance. 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.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer

reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.

The amount of frost on the walls of the

appliance will be increased by the high

level of the outer environment humidity

and if the frozen food is not wrapped

properly.

when it contains no or only a little food.

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put

it in a cool place.

from the defrost water drain and

collect all defrost water on a tray.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry

the interior thoroughly and refit the

plug.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to

obtain the maximum coldness and

run the appliance for two or three

hours using this setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food

into the compartment.

6.4 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

ask somebody to check it

once in a while to prevent

the food inside from spoiling

in case of a power failure.
