Hints And Tips; Normal Operating Sounds; Hints For Refrigeration - AEG SKE81226ZF Notice D'utilisation

• The types of food not mentioned
above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (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 compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in
the LongFresh compartment for up to
two days.
• 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
depend on the preservation
conditions made prior to the final
storage in the fridge.

5. HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 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.
5.2 Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
5.3 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• Food, fruit or vegetables should
always 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
before meat. While storing food in a
LongFresh 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 LongFresh
compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15-30 min before
consumption, particularly fruit and
vegetables to be consumed without
any additional cooking process.
Allowing fruit and vegetables to
return to room temperature will
improve the texture and flavour.
• do not store warm food or
evaporating 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

5.4 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and
place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean
thoroughly and place in a special
drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions
and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special
airtight container or wrap in an
aluminium foil or a polythene bag to
exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on
the door bottle shelf, or (if available)
on the bottle rack.
