Prior To Initial Start-Up; Starting Up And Temperature Regulation - AEG SANTO Operating Instructions Manual

Prior to Initial Start-Up

Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into ope-
ration for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if
was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must
be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is
necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise
the compressor may be damaged.
Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial
start-up (see section: "Cleaning and Care").

Starting up and temperature regulation

Refrigerator and freezer compartments can not be operated indepen-
dently of one another.
Insert plug into mains socket.
The temperature regulator is on the right side in the refrigerator com-
partment. It is also the ON/OFF-switch.
Position "0" means:
Cooling off
Position "1"means:
Highest interior temperature (warmest setting)
Position "6" means:
Lowest interior temperature (coldest setting)
Recommended settings:
For normal use: position "3" - "4";
Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting. The compressor
starts and then runs automatically.
Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on,
because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached.
Important! Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a tempera-
ture of –18 °C before storing frozen food.
Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator
compartment and -18 °C for the freezer compartment should be consi-
dered cold enough as a storage temperature.
