AEG SCN71800S0 - Manual (Page 10)

DAILY USE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac-
cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
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 FROST-
MATIC function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freez-
er compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
upper compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
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 on the higher settings.
If large quantities of food are to be stor-
ed, remove all drawers and baskets from
appliance and place food on cooling
shelves to obtain the best performance.
WARNING!
Make sure that foods do not ex-
ceed the load limit stated on the
side of the upper section (where
applicable)
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be-
ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-
tor compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
ICE-CUBE PRODUCTION
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-
cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put
them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
COLD ACCUMULATORS
One or more cold accumulators are sup-
plied in the freezer; these increase the
length of time for which food will keep in
the event of a power failure or break-
down.
