12 Unscrew the top handle

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

13. Unscrew the top handle
bracket from the door (3) and
screw onto the bottom right­hand 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
to left.

Attention!

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

After having reversed the ope­ning direction of the doors
check that all the screws are
properly tightened and that the
magnetic seal adheres to the
cabinet. If the ambient tempe­rature 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 pro­cess by heating up the part
involved with a normal hair­drier.

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 coo-

ling, 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.

Reversing the door

The side at which the door hangs can be changed from the right side (fac­tory supplied) to the left side, if the installation site requires.

Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance
must not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains befo­rehand.

Procced as follow:

1. Remove the clip-in ventilation grille
(D).

2. Remove the bottom hinge (E) by
unscrewing the fixing screws.

3. Slide the bottom door off the centre
hinge (H).

4. Remove the centre hinge and slide
the top door off pin (G); unscrew pin
(G) and refit it on the opposite side.

5. Remove the two plugs, to reveal the
holes for the hinge pivots, and
remount them on the other side.

6. Refit the top door and the centre
hinge (H) on the opposite side.

7. Refit the bottom door.

8. Using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew
the hinge pin (E) and reassemble it
on the opposite side of the hinge;

9. Refit bottom hinge (E) on the oppo­site side, using the screws previously
removed.

10. Remove blanking cover (F) from ven­tilation grille (D) by pushing it in the
direction of the arrow and refit it on
the opposite side.

11. Refit ventilation grille (D), clipping it
into place.

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

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 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.
Contact your local Council or Enviromental Health Office to see if there are

Positioning

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

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 under­neath. 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.

Rear spacers

Fit the rear spacers contained in
the documentation bag to ensure
escape of heat generated during
operation. Proceed in the
sequence illustrated in figures.
