Fresh Food Refrigeration; Defrosting; Switching Off The Appliance - AEG SANTO K 9 18 00-5 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide 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 containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos-
sible.
Milk bootles: 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.

Defrosting

Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

Switching off the appliance

To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. This will
result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature
display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display
will go off.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.
2. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display
goes off (see above).
3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
