Safety

The safety aspects of our appliance comply with accepted technical stan­dards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we consider it
our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:

Intended use

• The appliance 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. If the
appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incor­rectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage
that may be caused.

• Alterations or changes to the appliance are not permitted for reasons of
safety.

• If you use the appliance in a commercial application or forpurposes other
than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please observe all
valid legal regulations for your application.

Prior to initial start–up

• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should

a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please contact
the vendor.

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 of children

• Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. There is
a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children!

• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains
plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, 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. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision
and never let children play with the appliance!

bracket from the handle rod
(1). Unscrew the bottom hand-
le bracket from the door (2).

13. Unscrew the top handle
bracket from the door (3) and
screw onto the bottom right-
hand side of the door (4).

14. Turn the handle bracket with
the handle rod 180° and screw
them to the door (5) and the
fitted handle bracket (6).

15. Move the small plug from right

Attention!

Do not overtighten the screws
(max. 2 Nm) as you may dama-
ge the door handles.

After having reversed the ope-
ning direction of the doors
check that all the screws are
properly tightened and that the
magnetic seal adheres to the
cabinet. If the ambient tempe-
rature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to
the cabinet. in that case, wait
for the natural fitting of the
gasket or accelerate this pro-
cess by heating up the part
involved with a normal hair-
drier.

Daily Operation

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma­ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car­tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can
burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in
the freezer compartment. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be
stored in the freezer compartment.

• Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after remo­val from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or
tongue and cause injury.

• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the
food.

• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).

• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and unplug
it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.

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

Service

• 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 sound! They can be dumped 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 chlorofluo-

rocarbon.
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, to prevent small children being trapped inside.

• Use an authorised disposal site.

• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall
be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling
of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative con­sequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this pro­duct. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-
ing 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:

SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C

For correct operation this appliance
must be located in a dry atmosphere,
away from heat sources, e.g. cookers,
radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.

You should also ensure that air can
circulate freely around the back and
the top of the cabinet. There should
be 100mm (4”) between the top of
the cabinet and any overhanging
kitchenfurniture. Alternatively allow
50mm (2”) between the top of the
cabinet and any overhanging
kitchen furniture and a gap of
25mm (1”) on either side of the
appliance.

Do not obstruct the space under-
neath. The back of the cabinet may
be placed close to the wall but must
not touch it. DO NOT install in places
with restricted ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by
screwing out the adjustable foot, or
feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers.

Prior to Initial Start–Up

• Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start­up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).

Starting up and temperature regulation

• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protecti­ve earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the
internal lighting is switched on. The temperature selector knob is located
on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment.

Setting „0“ means: Off.
Setting „1“ means: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting „6“ (end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in the mind that the
temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:

-the quantity of food stored

-how often the door is opened

The temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartment cannot be
independently regulated.

If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting „6“, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop blow 0°C. You
should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting „3“ or „4“.

Important!

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on
the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to
run continuously.

If this happens, turn the temperature regulator 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.

Interior Accessories

Storage shelves

• You should always slide one of the
full size glass storage shelf into the
lowest set of guides, above the
fruit and the vegetable containers,
and keep it in this position.

• The height of the storage shelves
can be adjusted:
