AEG AGN71200F0, User Manual

Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.

4.4 

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.

4.5 

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.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freez-
ing process, here are some important
hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on
the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours.

No further food to be frozen should
be added during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to ena-

ble it to be rapidly and completely fro-
zen and to make it possible subse-
quently to thaw only the quantity re-
quired;

• 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 stor-
age life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer com-
partment, 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.

5.2 

Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially fro-

zen foodstuffs were adequately stored
by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely neces-
sary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates rap-

idly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period in-

dicated by the food manufacturer.
