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 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.

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

• 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 tempe-

4

ratures. 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.

• Ice creams 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
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.
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

5

its service life - to 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.

• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

Remove transport safeguard

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

• Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of
the appliance.

You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.

Starting up and temperature regulation

Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to star­ting the appliance. Plug in the appliance at the mains supply.

• 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”: 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”.

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 contai­ners, 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.

7

• Please do the same in rever­se to insert the shelf at a dif­ferent height. Slide the front
half of the V ario storage shelf
in another level to the rear.
By this means you will gain
space 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 refrigerators food, press
the door racks diagonally
upwards at their edges,
reposition them, and press
them back into place.

D006

Correct positioning
of foods

For physical reasons, different
temperature zones are formed
inside the refrigerator compart­ment. The coldest zone is on
the bottom shelf, just above
the fruit and vegetable contai­ners. The warmest zones are
the top shelves and the door
shelves. The following diagram
shows the most suitable pla­ces to store different types of
food.
