User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX S1402U

[. . . ] Any snap catch or lock on your old appliance should also be made unusable before you put the appliance away or hand it over to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. In this way you can prevent children from locking themselves in when playing and thus endangering their lives. Please make sure that the pipelines of your fridge-freezer are not damaged before collection for environment-friendly disposal. 17 General instructions You have just purchased a home refrigerator which has been produced according to the standards applicable to these appliances. During manufacture, the necessary measures have been taken as required by the Appliance Safety Act (GSG), the Accident Prevention Regulations for Refrigerating Installations (VBG 20), and the Specifications of the Institute of German Electrical Engineers (VDE). [. . . ] This will enable you to achieve an optimum storage duration (see illustration under "Correct storage"). · Ensure good packaging and coverage of food intended for storage in the refrigerator to retain flavour, colour, moisture, and freshness. · Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly to ensure hygienic storage of food and to prevent undesirable odours from forming. · Never place hot food in your refrigerator for cooling. Appliance packaging information All materials used are environmentally compatible!They can be safely disposed of or burnt in a refuse incinerator!Regarding the materiale: The plastics can also be recycled and are marked as follows: >PE< for polyethylene e. g. as used in the outer wrapping and bags inside >PS< for polystyrene foam e. g. The cardboard parts are made of waste paper and should be put back into the waste paper collection system. 20 Removing the adhesive tapes The door is secured to the housing with adhesive tapes. Remove any adhesive tape residues with a suitable petroleum-based cleansing agent. Hints on energy-saving One or two additional hints on energy-saving are given below: · Do not install your refrigerator next to a radiator or oven. Through high ambient temperature, the temperature regulator switches on the refrigerating unit more frequently and for longer. · Do not place any hot food in the refrigerator - first allow the food to cool to room temperature. For icemaking, rapid refrigeration, and shortterm storage of frozen food in the icemaking compartment, select setting "5" or "6". The internal temperature is strongly affected by the ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door opening. 24 Correct storage 9 8 7 1 2 6 = Butter and cheese = Eggs, tubes, preserves = Drinks = Cheese storage, fruit, and vegetables = Meat, salami, cold cuts, dairy produce = Ready meals, pastries, preserves = Icemaking compartment for rapid refrigeration, ice making, and short-term storage of frozen food. 25 Icemaking Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the icemaking compartment, and allow it to freeze. The ice-cubes can be easily loosened by twisting the icetray or by holding it briefly under running water. Never loosen the frozen-on ice-tray with sharp or pointed objects, since you may damage the refrigerating circuit. Defrosting The appliance should be defrosted whenever a frost layer of around 4 mm builds on the evaporator. Before defrosting, empty the icemaking compartment, ensuring that the thaw water collector is below the evaporator. The defrosting knob is located at the centre of the regulator knob. The setting of the temperature regulator thereby remains unchanged. Do not forget to remove the thaw water and to dry the evaporator. You can accelerate the defrosting process by placing a bowl of warm water inside the appliance and keeping the door closed. For safety reasons, no additional heat sources, such as e. an electric heater or the like, should be used during defrosting. [. . . ] - internal equipment parts, such as butter/cheese compartment, egg holders, door racks, fruit and vegetable drawers, storage racks. Faults and servicing To maintain the safety of your appliance, you should only have repairs, especially on live parts, performed by a trained electrician. In the event of a fault, please contact your retailer or the service centre direct. Before approaching the service centre, check whether the plug socket is energized (connect light bulb where necessary). Power supply faults can be rectified by your electrician. [. . . ]
