AEG ABE68216NF, User Manual

In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due

to a power failure, if the

power has been off for

longer that the value shown

in the technical data chart

under "Rising time", the

defrosted food must be

consumed quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

4.3 

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to

being used, can be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment or at room

temperature, depending on the time

available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still

frozen, directly from the freezer: in this

case, cooking will take longer.

4.4 

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold

accumulator which increases storage

time in the event of a power cut or

breakdown.
This shall be placed on top of the frozen

food in the front part.

HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic

dilatation (a natural and not

dangerous physical phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the

temperature regulator when the

compressor switches on or off.

5.2 

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• If foreseen, do not remove the cold

accumulators from the freezer basket.

5.3 

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the

freezing process, here are some

important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on

the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours

no further food to be frozen should

be added during this period;

• freeze only top quality, fresh and

thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to

enable it to be rapidly and completely

frozen and to make it possible

subsequently to thaw only the

quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the

packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen,

thus avoiding a rise in temperature of

the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer

than fatty ones; salt reduces the

storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer

compartment, can possibly cause the

skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to

enable you to keep tab of the storage

time.
