Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers 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 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. 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 freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.
• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application for purposes 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 refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, please contact your retailer.
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 fridge 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!

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 remo-
val 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 your-
self. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.
Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the “C“ and “E“ buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESI­RED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two buttons, “C“ or “E“ .
Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperatu­re is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL tem­perature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
B C ED G FA
8
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The appliances start.
3. Press either the “C“ or”E“ button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the “C“ or “E“ buttons (see section "Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu­re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently cold for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing to continuous illumination.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the stora­ge temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.
COOLMATIC
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of goods in the refrigerator.
1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC but­ton. The yellow light illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED temperature of +2 °C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Holiday function
The holiday function sets the temperature at +15°C. This function allows you to keep the refrigerator shut and empty during a long holiday period (e.g. the summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.
