Hints And Tips - AEG TSC5S181ES User Manual

The position of the humidity control depends
on the type and on the amount of fruits and
vegetables:
• Slots closed: recommended when there is
a small amount of fruits and vegetables. In
this way, the natural moisture content in
fruits and vegetables is preserved longer.
• Slots opened: recommended when there
is a big amount of fruits and vegetables. In
this way, more air circulation results in a
lower air moisture.
5.5 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Frostmatic
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the
first compartment or drawer from the top.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen without adding other fresh food during
24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a
label located inside the appliance).
When the freezing process is complete, the
appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see "Frostmatic
function").

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving
• Freezer: The internal configuration of the
appliance is the one that ensures the most
efficient use of energy.
In this condition, the temperature inside
the refrigerator might change slightly.
For more information refer to "Hints for
freezing".
5.6 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first time
or after a period out of use, before putting the
products in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 3 hours with the Frostmatic
function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you want.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers and place the food on
shelves.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the
door.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the
power has been off for longer than the
value shown on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately
then cooled and then re-frozen. Refer to
"High temperature alarm".
5.7 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator
or inside a plastic bag under cold water.
This operation depends on the time available
and on the type of food. Small pieces may
even be cooked still frozen.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
Position of the door bins does not affect
energy consumption.
