AEG Table Top Freezers Manual de Instruções

The do's and dont's of storing

frozen food

Once the freezing process is complete, deep-frozen

storage starts, in normal operation at a temperature

of -18 C or colder.

For storage of already frozen food, it is imperative to

note the storage time speciﬁed by the manufacturer

on the packaging.

Make sure that only packaged food is stored in the

freezer, since unpackaged food will soon dry out

when exposed to the extreme cold. With the excep-

tion of spirits and drinks containing a higher

percentage of alcohol, beverages in glass bottles,

particularly soft drinks containing carbon dioxide,

juices, beer, wine, etc., should not be stored in the

freezer. When the contents freeze, the glass bottles

will crack or even burst.

For safety reasons (such as the risk of an explo-

sion!) it is not allowed to store containers holding

inﬂammable liquids or gases, e.g. aerosol cans or

cigarette-lighter reﬁll cartridges, in the appliance.

Never handle deep-frozen food with wet hands.

Your hands could easily become frozen to the food.

Never use the freezer as a means of cooling hot

meals, since this causes heavy frost formation

inside and an increase in electricity consumption.

If you want to utilise the effective capacity of your

freezer compartment fully and need to accommodate

an especially large amount of frozen food, you can

take out the upper freezer drawer (2) (Fig. 11) You can

then place frozen food directly on the refrigerating unit.

Even when food is loaded in this way, the functional

safety of your freezer compartment is assured.

Taking drawer (3) out is particularly useful if you are

freezing or storing items which are too large to ﬁt into

one drawer. You can then stack the drawer (2) below

it correspondingly higher. In order to maintain the air

circulation, the frozen food should, however, not be

stacked higher than the front of the lower drawer.

Frost removal

During operation, and when the door is opened

moisture is deposited as frost in the internal space,

especially on the upper refrigerating unit.

Remove this frost from time to time with a plastic

scraper, e.g. a pastry scraper (not with a knife or the

like). The appliance needs not be switched off. You

will avoid heavy frost formation by not leaving the

door open unnecessarily long.

Defrosting and cleaning

Your freezer should be defrosted once or twice a

year or whenever a frost layer of around 4 mm has

formed. This should preferably occur when the

freezer is empty or contains little food.

Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of

your frozen food. Around 12 hours before defrosting

your freezer, switch over to fast-freeze to build up a

low-temperature reserve in the frozen food.

All food packages remaining in the freezer compart-

ment, hermetically packed if possible, should then

be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and

stored in a cool place (e.g. in a refrigerator).

During defrosting and cleaning, your freezer should

basically not be connected to the mains supply.

Therefore pull out the mains plug, remove the fuse

or trip the automatic safety device.

To defrost, remove all freezer drawers except for the

moment the lowest one from the freezer.

The lowest freezer drawer has a solid ﬂoor and can

be used for catching some of the melt-water when

the freezer is being defrosted. To do this, pull the

drawer slightly forwards and wipe the melt-water off

the condenser blades above it into the drawer.

You can accelerate the defrosting process by

placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer compart-

ment and by removing detaching pieces of ice

before completely defrosting.

Never use electric heating or warming appliances or

suchlike, because of the risk of an accident or ﬁre.

For safety reasons, this appliance must never be

cleaned with steam-cleaning equipment. Moisture

could ﬁnd its way into the electronic components,

and steam could cause damage to the plastic parts.

After defrosting, clean the inside of your appliance

and accessories with lukewarm water to which a

mild cleaning agent containing no acetic acid can be

added. Finally, wash with clean water and wipe dry.

Restart the freezer compartment. The frozen food

can be placed back inside after around 30 minutes

(see "Before using for the ﬁrst time").

Magnetic door seal

After opening and closing the door of your freezer whilst

it is in operation, you will not immediately be able to

open the door again because a vacuum will have devel-

oped inside, keeping the door closed until the pres-

sures inside and outside the door have equalised. After

a few minutes you can easily reopen the door.
