Safety
The safety aspects of our refrigerators/freezers comply with accepted tech-
nical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we
consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety infor-
mation:
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 incor-
rectly, 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 or forpurposes
other than the cooling, freezing or frozen storage of foods,please obser-
ve 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 the vendor.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compa-
tibility, 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 fit-
ted. 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!

Rehingeing the door
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (fac-
tory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.

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 flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges 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.
24
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rat-
ing 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 under-
neath. 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.
