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 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.
• 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.
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.

Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the „C“ and „E“ buttons. These buttons
are connected to the temperature display.
• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL
temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two
buttons, „C“ or „E“ .
• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24
hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches
back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
B C ED G FA
8
• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The
appliances start.
3. Press either the „C“ or „E“ button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
4. Set the required temperature by pressing the „C“ or „E“ buttons (see section
"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the fridge.
5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5
sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current
ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing
to continuous illumination.
Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start
immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food
immediately after switching on.
COOLMATIC
The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of
goods in the refrigerator.
1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates.
The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED
temperature of +2 ÞC is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is
ended automatically after a period of 6 hours.
2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Holiday function
The holiday function sets the temperature at +15°C. This function allows
you to keep the refrigerator shut and empty during a long holiday period
(e.g. the summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.
