User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX UK120510RE

[. . . ] It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. [. . . ] The refrigerator compartment is suitable for cooling drinks and for normal food storing. To obtain the best performance: ¥ do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator ¥ cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell. Open the door and turn the thermostat control knob, to be found on the upper right hand side of the inner compartment, clockwise beyond position ÇOÈ (OFF) to start the appliance. The 4-star compartment ( ) is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh food. To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostat knob. However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0¡C. Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the thermostat knob clockwise until its pointer coincides with the required setting. In any case, bear in mind that the temperature can be either increased (warmer) by turning the thermostat knob anticlockwise or decreased (colder) by turning it clockwise. The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted depending on the inner temperature of the refrigerator, which, in turn, depends on a number of factors, such as: ¥ ambient temperature ¥ number of times the door is opened ¥ quantity of food stored ¥ location of the appliance Warning If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption. When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 12 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). 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. This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. This model is equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie over the rear ones. For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be easily removed and refitted in position. [. . . ] For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized auto-transformer must be used. Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +16 °C and +43 °C (class T); +16 °C and +38 °C (class ST); +16 °C and +32 °C (class N); +10 °C and +32 °C (class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate. The power supply cable plug is provided with a contact for this purpose. [. . . ]
