1 Safety

The safety of our refrigerators/freezers is in accordance with recognised technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:

Use for Intended Purpose

The refrigerator/freezer is intended for household use. It is suited for the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation of ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intendet or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that may be caused.

Alterations or changes to the refrigerator/freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.

If you use the refrigerator/freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the refrigeration, freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application.

Prior to initial start-up

Check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your supplier in the event of damage.

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.

Warning - 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 for Children

Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from children!

Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations.

35

Safety

Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance!

Daily Operation

Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the refrigerator/freezer.

Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.

Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.

Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the appliance (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.) unless they have been authorised by the manufacturer.

Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.

Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the manufacturer.

Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance can lead to the accumulation of condensate in the cavity of the storage tray through contact with the cold. Electronic components are housed within this cavity. If condensate should drip onto these components, the appliance could be damaged by a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen goods on top of the appliance.

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

In case of malfunction

If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the section "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the instructions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any further work on your own.

36

Refrigerators/feezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.

Environmental Information

Packaging

All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be reused. Wood is un-treated. 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 pure hydrocarbon compounds and can be recycled.

The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the packaging with due care for the environment.

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.

1 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. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations.

Disposal:

The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.

The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, may not be damaged.

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

37

Appliance Transport

Two persons are required for transport of the appliance.

0In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at the top of the upper door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is then transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily pushed.

Remove transport safeguard

The appliance as well as interior accessory parts are safeguarded for transport.

0 Remove all tape and pads from the interior of the appliance.

3 Tape remnants can be removed with white spirit.

Installation

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up 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.

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

AEG-Electrolux S3176KG8, S3166KG8 User Manual

Installation

If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:

for electric cookers 3 cm;

for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.

If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.

The refrigerator/freezer needs air

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.

Attention! If the appliance is installed under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 4 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained.

Appliance Alignment

0The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front in or out.

Electrical Connection

A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10 ampere.

If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical installation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains (e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm).

0Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location.
