User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX AU66050-6E

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] In this switch position, the refrigerating unit operates automatically. The fast-freeze switch (2) with its yellow pilot light (3). The yellow pilot light comes on when the switch (2) has been operated. The refrigerating unit then operates continuously. The red temperature warning light (5) comes on when: ­ the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been reached; ­ the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault); ­ excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or ­ if the appliance door is open for too long. Warning system The warning system comprises of an optical warning light (red) and an acoustic warning tone. The red warning light and the warning tone signal an alarm ­ if the appliance door is left open too long; ­ if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm; ­ if there is a malfunction in the cooling system. "Open door" warning The red warning light illuminates and 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 37 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 sliding the fast freeze switch. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0". Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. Defrost freezer and clean thoroughly (see sections: "Defrosting" and "Cleaning and Care"). Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours. 39 Freezing and storing frozen food 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. · Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. 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. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. · Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. [. . . ] At the same time shape the warmed door seal by hand such that it sits correctly. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Door seal is not airtight (possibly after reversing the door). The compressor does not start immediately after switching on the fast freeze function or after changing the temperature setting. This is normal, no error has The compressor starts after occurred. a period of time. Important: regularly check on the red temperature pilot light and thermometer to establish that the storage temperature is being maintained. Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: · Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. · Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. · Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
