Need help?Do you have a question about the AEG ABE682F1NF and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for the AEG ABE682F1NF freezer, providing comprehensive information on its safe installation, operation, and maintenance.
The AEG ABE682F1NF is a freezer designed for household use and similar applications, such as farmhouses, staff kitchen areas, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. Its primary function is to freeze fresh food and store frozen and deep-frozen food for extended periods. The appliance utilizes isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility. It is designed for built-in installation and requires proper ventilation to ensure efficient operation. The freezer compartment is frost-free, eliminating the need for manual defrosting as frost does not build up on internal walls or food.
The freezer offers several features to optimize food preservation and user convenience. Temperature regulation is automatic, but users can adjust it to a desired setting based on room temperature, door opening frequency, food quantity, and appliance location. A medium setting is generally recommended. Turning the temperature regulator clockwise lowers the temperature, while turning it counterclockwise raises it.
A key feature is the Frostmatic function, which is designed for pre-freezing and fast freezing. This function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and protects already stored foodstuffs from undesirable warming. To activate, the Frostmatic button is pressed for 2-3 seconds, and the Frostmatic light illuminates. It is recommended to activate this function at least 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer for optimal pre-freezing. The function automatically stops after 52 hours but can be manually deactivated by pressing the Frostmatic switch for 2-3 seconds.
The freezer also includes alarm systems for safety and convenience. A high temperature alarm activates with a blinking alarm light and an audible sound if the freezer compartment temperature increases, for example, due to a power failure. The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the alarm reset switch, and the alarm light will stop blinking automatically once normal conditions are restored. An open door alarm sounds if the door is left open for approximately 80 seconds, stopping once the door is closed or by pressing the alarm reset switch.
For storing fresh food, it should be evenly distributed in the first compartment or drawer from the top. When storing large quantities, all drawers except the bottom one can be removed to ensure good air circulation. For efficient freezing and thawing, food should be divided into small portions. It is advisable to label and date frozen food to track its shelf life. Freshness is crucial for good quality when freezing, especially for fruits and vegetables, which should be frozen soon after harvest to preserve nutrients. Hot food should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in the freezer. To prevent temperature increases in already frozen food, fresh unfrozen food should not be placed directly next to it.
The manual provides guidelines for the shelf life of various food types, including bread, fruits, vegetables, leftovers, dairy products (butter, soft cheese, hard cheese), seafood (fatty fish, lean fish, shrimps, clams, mussels, cooked fish), and different types of meat (poultry, beef, pork, lamb, sausage, ham).
Regular maintenance is essential for the appliance's longevity and efficient operation. Before any maintenance, the appliance must be deactivated and disconnected from the mains power supply.
Cleaning the interior involves washing with lukewarm water and a neutral soap, then drying thoroughly. Abrasive products, chlorine, or oil-based cleaners should not be used as they can damage the finish. The accessories and parts are not suitable for dishwasher cleaning.
Periodic cleaning includes regularly checking and wiping door seals to keep them clean and free from debris. The interior and accessories should be cleaned with lukewarm water and neutral soap, rinsed, and dried.
The freezer compartment is frost-free, meaning it does not require manual defrosting. However, cleaning the air channels is necessary. This involves removing the plinth and ventilation grid, cleaning the grid, carefully pulling out the air deflector to check for any remaining water from defrosting, and cleaning the lower part of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
For periods of non-operation, such as extended absences, the appliance should be disconnected from the electricity supply, all food removed, and the appliance and accessories cleaned. The door should be left open to prevent unpleasant smells.
In case of troubleshooting, the manual provides a guide for common issues like the appliance not operating, being noisy, alarms activating, the compressor running continually, or temperature setting problems. Solutions range from checking power connections and door closure to adjusting temperature settings or contacting an authorized service center.
Closing the door properly is crucial for efficiency. This involves cleaning the door gaskets and, if necessary, adjusting the door or replacing defective gaskets.
The appliance contains hydrocarbons in the cooling unit, and only qualified personnel should perform maintenance and recharging of the unit. The drain of the appliance should be regularly examined and cleaned to prevent defrosted water from collecting at the bottom.
