Important Safety Instructions These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you fully understand them before installing or using the appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about the meaning of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department for assistance. 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.
• Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock themselves in the appliance when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances.
In case of malfunction • If a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the "What to do if ..." section of these instructions. If the information given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself. • Under no circumstance should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.
Remove transport packaging ☞ The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door. You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit. ☞ Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the appliance. 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.
Your refrigerator needs air 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 kitchen furniture.
Reversing the door The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as 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. ☞ ☞ ☞ Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and prop it securely. Unscrew the door hinge screws (K) and remove the hinge pin bracket (1). Open the door a little way and take it out downwards.
Changing over the freezer compartment door ☞ ☞ Open the freezer compartment door a little way. Using a small screwdriver, press the spring in the opening of the lower door bearing slightly upwards and take the door bearing out complete with the door. ☞ ☞ Position the covering cap (M) on the opposite side. Turn the freezer compartment door through 180° and fit the lower door bearing into the lower bearing cavity of the freezer compartment door.
13 AMP 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 folGREEN & YELLOW lowing code: 13 AMP.

Temperature Display °C +8 +6 +5 +4 +2 The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information: • During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator or freezer compartment (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed, the corresponding light illuminates. • When the temperature is being adjusted, the temperature currently set flashes (DESIRED temperature). Starting up and temperature regulation ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ 14 Insert the plug into the plug socket.
FROSTMATIC/COOLMATIC FROSTMATIC button FROSTMATIC The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. ☞ The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates. If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 24 hours. The yellow light goes out.
☞ ☞ 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. VARIO glass storage shelf ☞ Your appliance is equipped with two half-size glass storage shelves. Storing tall items: Slide the front half of the Vario storage shelf in another level to the rear. By this means you will gain space to place tall items on the storage shelf below.
The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. This symbol means that deep-frozen food can be kept for some months in this compartment. The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manufacturer’s instructions. However, small quantities of fresh foods can be frozen (see: “Freezing and storage”). Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
☞ ☞ ☞ To freeze the maximum quantity shown on the rating plate press the FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow display lights up. The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands.
Defrosting The fridge defrosts automatically The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself. Defrosting the freezer compartment ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper.
☞ ☞ After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment ( see "Cleaning and Care" section). Do not forget to switch the FROSTMATIC function off again. Switching off the appliance ☞ To switch off, press the ON/OFF button “ ” until the mains power ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ light extinguishes. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: Remove all frozen and refrigerated packages. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes.
☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts. • The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service. Important! • Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. – lemon juice or the juice from orange peel; – butyric acid; – cleansers which contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. • Do not use any abrasive cleansers. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. • Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. • Only leave door open as long as necessary. • Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
