AEG 2842-6 I Fresh food refrigeration, Freezing and storing frozen food, Installation Location

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.

Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore

–not be exposed to direct sunlight;

–not be installed next to radiators, or other sources of continuous heat;

–only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre- sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is desi- gned.

The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

•do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigeator

•do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

•Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s)

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight con- tainers or wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

Reversing the door

The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.

Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance may not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.

•The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or col- der 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 seve- ral 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 pre- served when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as pos- sible.
