Temperature Indicators; Temperature Regulation; Coolmatic Function - AEG SANTO C 8 18 42-6i User Manual

Temperature indicators

The temperature indicators show several information:
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL tem-
perature) is displayed.
• In the freezer the warmest temperature is displayed (ACTUAL temperature). When fully
filled, the warmest zone is normally located at the top in the front area of the freezer.
Depending upon how the section is filled, the temperatures are lower in other areas of
the freezer.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temper-
ature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
When changing the temperature setting wait about 24 hours until the temperature display
has stabilised.

Temperature regulation

To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
1. Set the required temperature by pressing the corresponding temperature regulator. The
temperature indicator will immediately show the changed setting (DESIRED tempera-
ture) and the temperature indicator flashes.
2. Each time the temperature regulator is pressed the DESIRED temperature is adjusted
by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
3. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the
temperature indicator will show again the current ACTUAL temperature inside the cor-
responding compartment. The temperature indicator will change from flashing to con-
tinuous illumination.
For a correct storage of the food the following temperatures should be set:
• +5 °C in the fridge
• -18 °C in the freezer.
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic
defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached
quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.

refrigerator.
