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 cooling, freezing and storing of frozen food, as well as for making ice.
Important Safety Instructions 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 bolt catches, if fitted.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: 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 chlorofluorocarbon.
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. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
Installation If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet 105 opening of at least 200 cm2 and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be installed at the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop (C) should be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of moisture. The appliance wall distance must be at least 30 mm and should be checked before the ventilation grille is inserted.
Installation 7. Unscrew the handle and refit it on the opposite side. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack. AEG75 Plug socket The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug. If your appliance is installed under a continuous worktop, the plug socket should be provided as shown.
Installation 13 AMP 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. GREEN & YELLOW Important 13 AMP.

Description of the appliance Control panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Pilot light (green) ON/OFF switch Temperature setting buttons (for warmer temperatures) Temperature display Temperature setting buttons (for colder temperatures) COOLMATIC indicator light (yellow) Push button for COOLMATIC Temperature setting buttons The temperature is adjusted using the „+“ (WARMER) and „-“ (COLDER) buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.
Temperature Display 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. • If the temperature in the refrigerator is warmer than the display range of the temperature display, all the lights in the temperature display are extinguished.
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. The compressor will start and then run automatically. Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.
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: 1. Remove all refrigerated packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button until the mains power light extinguishes. 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply. 4. Clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). 5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Interior Accessories Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Variable Storage Box (not on all models, design differs depending on the model) Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The box can be inserted under every door shelf compartment. 1.
Correct storage For physical reasons, there are different temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the vegetable drawer and the storage compartments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! • The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. 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.
What to do if ... Symptom Possible Cause Appliance is not switched on. Mains plug is not plugged Appliance does not work, in or is loose. green stand-by display and Fuse has blown or is defectemperature display are tive not lit. Switch on the appliance. Insert mains plug. Check fuse, replace if necessary. Socket is defective. Mains malfunctions are to be corrected by an electrician. All the lights in the temperature display are flashing. There is a malfunction.
What to do if ... Symptom Unusual noises. Possible Cause Remedy Appliance is not level. Readjust the feet. The appliance is touching the wall or other objects. Move the appliance slightly. The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the COOLMATIC button, or after changing the temperature setting. This is normal, no error has The compressor starts after occurred. a period of time. Water on the floor or on storage shelves. Water drain hole is blocked.
Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: • Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. • Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. • Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.
Technical terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. • Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work.
