AEG SKZ81200F0 - Manual (Page 36)

Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the long-
fresh 0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the longfresh 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineap-
ple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compart-
ment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stor-
ed food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening
The longfresh 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the
thawed food can be stored in the longfresh 0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to
the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish
which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage
time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss
on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly
15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed with-
out any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room
temperature will improve the texture and flavour.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, caus-
ing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to-
ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
