ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
•
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the freezer
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
•
When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1.
Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2.
Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The alarm
light flashes until the temperature is reached. The buzzer sounds. This can
be cancelled by pressing the button.
3.
Press either the „C“ or „E“ button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
4.
Set the required temperature by pressing the „C“ or „E“ buttons (see section
"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view -18 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the freezer.
5.
The buzzer stops,when the set temperature is reached.Press the alarm but-
ton to turn off the alarm light
Ice pack
There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in
the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the
ice pack for cooling cold bags.
FROSTMATIC
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the
same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
1.
The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC but-
ton. The yellow light illuminates.

2.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or discon-
nect from the electricity supply.

Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of continuous
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-
tion of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall
of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
• Only leave door open as long as necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will
then be used to cool the fridge.
Something Not Working
If the appliance is not functioning correctly, please carry out the following
checks before contacting your local AEG Service Force Centre.
Warning!
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunc-
tioning.
