Important Safety Instructions These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you fully understand them before installing or using the appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about the meaning of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance. Intended use • The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Important Safety Instructions • Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
Installation If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet 105 opening of at least 200 cm2 and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be installed at the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of moisture. The appliance wall distance must be at least 30 mm and should be checked before the ventilation grille is inserted.
Installation Reversing the door The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as supplied) to the left side, if the installation site requires. Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance must not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand. the appliance slightly towards the ☞1. Tilt rear and prop it securely. 2. Unscrew the door hinge screws (K) and remove the hinge pin bracket (1). 3.
Installation Changing over the freezer compartment door the freezer compartment door a little ☞1. Open way. 2. Using a small screwdriver, press the spring in the opening of the lower door bearing slightly upwards and take the door bearing out complete with the door. 3. Position the covering cap (M) on the opposite side. 4. Turn the freezer compartment door through 180° and fit the lower door bearing into the lower bearing cavity of the freezer compartment door. 5.
Installation from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm). The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or competent person. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Starting up and temperature regulation the appliance to the mains electricity supply. ☞1. Connect When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand side of the refrigerator compartment. Setting “0” means: Off. 2. Turn the control knob clockwise past “1”. The refrigerating unit is now on and operates automatically. Setting “1” means: Hightest temperature, warmest setting.
If this happens, turn the thermostat knob back to a warmer setting (position “3” to “4”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced. Switching off the appliance switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position ☞ To "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all refrigerated and frozen packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position "0". 3.
Interior accessories Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Variable Storage Box Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The box can be inserted under every door shelf compartment. 1.
Correct storage For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers prior to ☞1. All freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food causing skin abrasions. 2. Lay the packaged food on the base of the freezer compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
Defrosting Defrosting the freezer compartment During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost. The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock. Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components and there is a danger of an electrical shock.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. • Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. • Only leave door open as long as necessary. • Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
What to do if ... Symptom Possible Cause The compressor runs continuously. Temperature is set too cold. The food is too warm. Temperature is not properly adjusted. Door was open for an extended period. A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours. The appliance is near a heat source. Interior lighting does not work. Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. Unusual noises. Remedy Turn the thermostat knob to a warmer setting temporarily.
Changing the light bulb Warning! There is a risk of electric shocks! Before changing the light bulb, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the power supply. Light bulb data: 220-240 V, max. 15 W ☞1. To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to position "0". 2. Unplug the mains plug. 3. To change the light bulb, undo the screw. 4. Press the light bulb cover as shown and slide it backwards. 5. Change the defective light bulb. 6. Refit the light bulb cover and the screw. 7.
This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines: – 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines. – 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989 (including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline Technical Terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
