The Most Important Characteristic; Of Your Appliance - AEG ARCTIS Operating Instructions Manual

The most important characteristic

of your appliance

• The appliance can be used as a freezing unit or as a refrigerator depen-
ding on requirement. For this purpose, the operation mode "Freezing"
or the operation mode "Cooling" can be selected on the appliance.
– In the operation mode "Freezing", the appliance is usable for
freezing and deep-temperature storage with temperatures from
-15 °C up to -24 °C.
– In the operation mode "Cooling", this appliance can be operated as
a "long fresh" cooling unit with temperatures of 0 °C to +2 °C,
whereby a dry cabinet interior climate is attained through the no-
frost (frost-free) technology. The appliance can also be used in the
adjustable temperature range of up to +16 °C as a chilled cupboard
for food and drink. Naturally, it is also usable as a "normal"
refrigerator for the temperature range of +2 °C to +5 °C.
• TURBO can be selected depending on purpose and need.
– In the operation mode "Cooling", TURBO is suitable for fast
cooling larger quantities when in the refrigerator mode, e.g. for
drinks or salads during a party. Thereby, a DESIRED temperature of
+2 °C is automatically preset. After 6 hours have expired, the
TURBO function is terminated automatically.
– In the operation mode "Freezing", TURBO caters for quick freezing
of fresh foodstuffs and protects at the same time the foodstuff
already stored against undesired temperature increase when in the
freezer mode. The electronics of the appliance recognises
automatically, when the quick freezing mode can be completed,
and automatically switches off the TURBO function. (Depending
upon the quantity to be frozen after 30 up to maximum 51 hours).
• The no-frost (frost free) system enables both the freezing of fresh
foodstuff as well as the storage of readily frozen or cooled foodstuff
by cold air. An evaporator cools the air in the interior space of the
appliance, which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a
ventilator. This uniformly circulating air-flow creates for a dry
climate, low temperature fluctuations and low temperature
differences in the entire appliance interior. The moisture in the air
condenses as frost on the evaporator. The evaporator thaws/defrosts -
automatically, as soon as this is necessary. The melted water is
drained off outside to the compressor and evaporates through the
heat generated by the latter. Thus, the interior of the appliance and
the stored cooled or frozen foodstuffs always remain fresh and ice-
free. Manual thawing/defrosting is not necessary.
