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 cream or ice cubes can cause “frost/freezer” burns if consumed strai-
ght 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 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 - 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.
You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.
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
facilities in your area to recycle the appliance;

Installation
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not
be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as
that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the
left.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having
to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse must be used.
Important!
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the fol-
lowing code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
1. The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter “E” or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yel-
low.
2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked “N” or
coloured black.
3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked “L” or
coloured red.
4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and
the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety
(shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.

1. Pilot light (yellow)
2. Ambient switch
3. Pilot light (green)
4. Temperature regulator and ON/OFF switch
The temperature regulator (4), which is also the appliance’s On-/Off switch.
The green pilot light (3), which comes on when the appliance is switched
on and the mains voltage is available. In this position, the refrigerating unit
will operate automatically.
Temperature adjustment with ambient temperature below +16°C
When the ambient temperature in the room in which the appliance is situated is less than 16°C, the ambient switch (2) must be depressed. The yellow
pilot light (1) above the switch comes on. In this way, when the ambient
temperature is low, the compressor operates for longer periods to ensure
that the storage temperature of -18°C is maintained inside the freezer compartment.
Important!
If the ambient temperature rises to above +16°C, de-activate the ambient
switch in order to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. The yellow pilot
light goes out.
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 regulator is located on the top of the
appliance.
Interior Accessories
Storage shelves
• You should always slide one of the
full size glass storage shelves into
the lowest set of guides, above the
salad 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.
D338
Setting “0”: Off.
Setting “1”: Highest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting “4” (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
-ambient temperature
The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.
If you want to freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting “4”, ensuring that the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0°C. You
should promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting “2” or “3”, if this
does occur.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting of
the temperature regulator (position"3" to "4") can cause the compressor to
run continuously.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting
(position "2" to "3"). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and
off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.
