Safety
The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technological
standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:
Use for Intended Purpose
The freezer is intended for household use. It is suitable for freezing and storage of frozen food. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.
If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start-up
check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your supplier in the event of damage.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged: avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety for Children
Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from children!
For appliances with lockable lids: Children playing could get locked in. Danger of suffocation! Keep the key out of the reach of children and do not leave it near the appliance.

Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations.
Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the refrigerator/freezer.
Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.
Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.
Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
Before cleaning the appliance always pull the mains plug out or switch off/disengage the household fuse.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
If a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself.
This product should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally friendly. They can be safely disposed of at a recycling centre.
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.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service life - for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger of playing children locking themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations.
Disposal:
The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
The refrigerating circuit must not be damaged.
Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from your local Council or Environmental Health Office.

Installation Location
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room on a firm and level surface.
Warning! The appliance may not be exposed to spray or water splashes. There is a danger of electrical shock!
Energy use 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.
The climate classification is stipulated on the serial plate which can be found on the inner side of the lid. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
Climate classification |
for an ambient temperature of |
SN |
+10 to +32 °C |
N |
+16 to +32 °C |
ST |
+18 to +38 °C |
T |
+18 to +43 °C |

The freezer needs air.
The side walls become warm whilst the appliance is on. The heat is generated by the special refrigerating system (shell condenser) and helps prevent condensation. In order for the heat to be able to be dissipated, air must be able to circulate around all the side walls.
Attention! To function correctly the appliance requires good ventilation. Make sure that the side walls and the base of the appliance are not covered or obstructed.
