Storage Of Frozen Food; Hints And Tips; Normal Operating Sounds; Hints For Energy Saving - AEG ABB68811LS Benutzerinformation

5.2 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance run
at least 2 hours with the FROSTMATIC
function turned on.
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer that the value shown
in the technical data chart
under "Rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the
temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The
internal configuration of the appliance
is the one that ensures the most
efficient use of energy.
• If the ambient temperature is high
and the temperature control is set to
low temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
refrigerator or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.

5.4 Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-
cubes.
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

6.3 Hints for freezing

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned food products.
• For more efficient freezing and
thawing divide food into small
portions.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or
polythene. Make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place
fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.
• Lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones. Salt reduces the
storage life of food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
