AEG SCN71800S1 - Manual (Page 12)

Cakes containing cream and oth-
er kinds of pastry products can
be stored in the Longfresh 0°C
compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the Long-
fresh 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have
to be stored at cellar or room
temperature like pineapple,
bananas, grapefruit, melons,
mango, papaya, oranges, lem-
ons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not men-
tioned 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 stored 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 Long-
fresh 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 de-
pend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should al-
ways 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 be-
fore 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 consump-
tion, particularly fruit and vegetables
to be consumed without any addition-
al cooking process. Allowing fruit and
vegetables to return to room tempera-
ture will improve the texture and fla-
vour.
4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
4.1 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 temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
4.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-
ing liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly
if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
4.3 Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
