User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX ER8396B

[. . . ] It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable available from your local Service Force Centre. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. [. . . ] 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. If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting. In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg. Place the food to be frozen on the shelf of the freezer as this is the coldest part. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. 16 5 Thawing Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping. A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven. Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the Figure. Then turn them through 45 (arrow (A) vertical) until they lock into place. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
