1 Important Safety Instructions

These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department.

Prior to Installation

Check the freezer for transport damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged appliance be installed! In the event of damage, please contact your retailer.

Installation

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.

Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable available from your local Service Force Centre.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the appliance. A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.

If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall, but leaving the required distance for ventilation, as stated in the installation instructions.

The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

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.

818 35 95-02/7

5

Important Safety Instructions

If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:

avoid open flames and sources of ignition;

thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

Child Safety

Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Keep packaging material away from children! (There is a risk of suffocation!)

During Use

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. It is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the freezer.

Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out.

Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer.

Ice lollies can cause ’frost/freezer burns’ if consumed straight from the freezer compartment.

Do not remove items from the freezer compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze.

Manufacturers´ recommended storage times should be adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance and disconnect from the electrical supply.

When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

Before Use

Packaging

01. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appliance.

3 Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.

2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.

3.Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.

Installation

The position of the freezer part and the fridge part in the combination fridge-freezer can be decided by the customer. However the final assembly of the appliance or a later change in the position of the freezer and fridge must be carried out by your local Service Force Centre.

Installation Location

The appliance should be installed 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.

818 35 95-02/7

AEG Arctis 75248 GA3 User Manual

Installation

The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

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 ventilation

 

Air is fed under the door through the vent

 

slots in the base and is exhausted upwards

 

along the back wall. To ensure proper air

 

circulation never cover or alter the vent

 

openings.

 

Important! If the appliance is installed

 

under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a

 

clearance of at least 10 cm between the

 

top of the appliance and the cabinet above

 

it must be maintained.

 

Please check whether, after installing your

 

appliance and especially after reversing the

 

door, the door seal fits tightly. A badly fit-

 

ting door seal may lead to heavy frosting

 

and a higher power consumption (see also

 

“What to do if ...“).

 

Appliance Alignment

01. The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
