User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX ARC0642-4I

[. . . ] These operating instructions are for use with several technically comparable models with varying accessories. Please observe the notes which apply to your model. Notes which are important for your safety or for the proper functioning of the appliance are stressed with a warning triangle and/ or with signal words (Warning!, Caution!, Important!). This symbol guides you step by step in the operation of the appliance. [. . . ] "Open Door" warning The warning tone sounds if the door is left open for more than 60 seconds. You can switch off the warning tone by closing the door. Temperature Warning The red warning light illuminates and the warning tone sounds if the temperature in the freezer compartment is warmer than -12°C. An increase in the temperature in the freezer compartment may be caused by - frequent or extended opening of the door; - storing large quantities of warm food; - a high ambient temperature; - a malfunction in the cooling system. Switch off the warning tone by pressing the fast freeze button. The yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning light remains illuminated until the required temperature has been reached again. After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again to switch off the fast freeze function. Note: when the appliance is switched on for the first time, the warning light and the warning tone signal an alarm because the necessary storage temperature in the freezer compartment has not yet been reached. 17 Starting up and temperature regulation Turn the thermostat control knob (1) in the direction of "1". The green light (3) and the red light (4) come on, the audible warning sounds (if fitted), and the refrigeration motor starts up. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. Press the fast freeze button for the freezing of fresh food. To utilise the maximum rated freezing capacity, switch on the fast freeze switch 24 hours before freezing is due to start (the yellow light illuminates). For smaller amounts the fast freeze switch should be switched on 4 - 6 hours in advance. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (3) equipped with its own refrigerating unit. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (4) should only be used for storage of frozen food. [. . . ] If the freezer is without a cold accumulator the hold over time will be reduced to about 20 hours. Symptoms Possible Cause Appliance is not switched on. Mains plug is not plugged in or is loose. Fuse has blown or is defective Socket is defective. [. . . ]
