AEG A42200GSW0 - Manual (Page 22)

To operate the appliance, proceed as
follows:
• turn the Temperature Regulator
toward lower settings to obtain the
minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature Regulator
toward higher settings to obtain the
maximum coldness.
In case of freezing less food
volumes, the Half Loaded
setting is the most suitable.
In case of freezing large
food volumes, the Full

suitable.
4. FIRST USE
4.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
5. DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezing (top) area is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food, place it in the
freezing (top) compartment and leave it
there for 24 hours.
Move frozen food in the storing (lower)
compartments to make room for another
freezing.
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.
5.2 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 8 hours on the higher settings.
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).
5.3 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.
