Safety
Please read this instruction book before using the appliance and retain
for future reference. These warnings are provided in the interests of your
safety, ensure you understand them fully before using the appliance.
Intended use
• The appliance is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the
cooling, freezing and storage 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.
Prior to initial start–up
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstances
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
• Keep packaging material away from children.
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the
mains plug, cut off the mains cable and remove any locks or catches, to prevent young children being trapped inside.
• Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
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
5
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.
• Ice cream or ice cubes can cause “frost/freezer” burns if consumed
straight from the freezer.
• 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
disconnect from the electricity supply.
• 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.
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 chlo-
rofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be dispo-
sed 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 - to your new appliance as well.
6
Remove Transport Packaging
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.
• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the
appliance.
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.
Contact your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if
there are facilities in your area to recycle the appliance;
7
Starting up and temperature regulation
• Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap
or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
• 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”: Off.
Setting “1”: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “6” (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in 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 compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly , select setting “6”, ensuring that
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below
0°C. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting “3” or “4”, if this does occur.
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
shelves into the lowest set of
guides, above the fruit and
vegetable drawers, and keep
it in this position.
• The height of the storage
shelves can be adjusted:
• To do this pull the storage
shelf forward until it can be
swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.
• Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height. Slide the front half of the Vario storage shelf in another level to
the rear. This will enable you to place tall items on the storage shelf
below.
Adjusting the upper door rack
• Depending on the food stored, the upper door racks
can be changed to other holders or removed. Take out
the food from the door, press
the door racks diagonally
upwards at their edges,
reposition them, and press
them back into place.

Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.
