AEG SCE8181VTS, User Manual

The maximum amount of food that can

be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the 

rating plate

, a label located on the

inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours,

during this period do not add other food

to be frozen.
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 in the technical

characteristics chart under "rising time",

the defrosted food must be consumed

quickly or cooked immediately and then

re-frozen (after cooling).

5.6 

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.

5.7 

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or

more trays for the production of ice-

cubes.

Do not use metallic

instruments to remove the

trays from the freezer.

1.

Fill these trays with water

2.

Put the ice trays in the freezer

compartment.

5.8 

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold

accumulator which increases storage

time in the event of a power cut or

breakdown.

HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 

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.

6.2 

Hints for energy saving

• Eco mode / default setting preserves

fresh and frozen foods while saving

energy.

• Fresh Food Compartment (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.

• Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The

internal configuration of the appliance

is the one that ensures the most

efficient use of energy.

• Do not remove the cold accumulators

from the freezer basket.

• If the ambient temperature is high

and the temperature control is set to

low temperature and the appliance is

fully loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice

formation on the evaporator. In this

case, set the temperature control

toward higher temperature to allow

automatic defrosting and to save

energy this way.

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

6.3 

Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

• Do not store warm food or

evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.

• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if

it has a strong flavour.
