User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX AG86050I

[. . . ] To ensure optimal and regular performance of your appliance please read this instruction manual carefully. It will enable you to navigate all processes perfectly and most efficiently. To refer to this manual any time you need to, we recommend you to keep it in a safe place. and please pass it to any future owner of the appliance. [. . . ] energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore ­ not be exposed to direct sunlight; ­ not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; ­ only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed. The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: each climate classification: If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance: ­ for electric cookers 3 cm; ­ for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm. If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance. If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance. "Installation directly under a hob is not allowed. The temperatures of the hob, which in part are quite high, may damage the appliance. If a hob is installed near the appliance, the corresponding installation and safety instructions must be adhered to. Considering the numerous installation conditions which are possible, there is no way of providing detailed information here. It is necessary to avoid overheating of the refrigerator by maintaining adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable thermal insulation plate. ⷠOnly when the red alarm light (E) has gone out should you reset the fastfreeze switch (D) the yellow light (C) goes out. The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on: - the quantity of food stored - how often the door is opened - ambient temperature Important: Regularly check on the red temperature pilot lamp (E) and the thermometer that the required storage temperature is being maintained. There is one or more ice pack in one drawer of the freezer. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags. It may indicate a temperature above -18°C when large quantities of food are placed inside for freezing or when the door is left open for a long time. You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. The temperature in the freezer compartment must be ­18 °C or colder before freezing food. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate. [. . . ] Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use; Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in the power socket. Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. Do not place warm foods into the appliance. [. . . ]
