User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX ARC132-4GS

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] With each further press of one of the two buttons, the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by one display field. Adjustable temperature range: -16°C to -24°C. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec. ) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current ACTUAL temperature inside the appliance. The display will change from flashing to continuous illumination. The compressor will start and then run automatically. When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. Important: Regularly check on the red temperature pilot light and the temperature display that the required storage temperature is being maintained. Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temperature of ­18°C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing frozen food. FROSTMATIC FROSTMATIC button The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 48 hours. · Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer. · Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. · Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer. 60 Freezing and storing · Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. To freeze the maximum quantity shown on the rating plate press the FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities. 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. [. . . ] · Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time. 67 Customer Service If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department.
