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.
Important Safety Instructions • 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.
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 Your refrigerator needs ventilation Integratable models (i-appliances) The integrated door of the furniture cabinet largely seals the installation recess. iappliances must therefore be provided with ventilation by having an opening in the furniture plinth. The warmed air must be able to be exhausted upwards through the air shaft on the furniture back. The ventilation cross-sections should be at least 200 cm2.
Installation Important note! In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Installation See installation instructions supplied. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power consumption (see also „What to do if...“).
Description of the appliance View of the appliance (various models) 1 = Temperature regulator and interior lighting 2 = Butter and cheese compartment with lid 3 = Variable storage box (not included with all models, design differs depending on the model) 4 = Door storage compartment 5 = Bottle compartment Bottle holder (not on all models) 6 = Fruit and vegetable bins 7 = Shelves 8 = Freezer compartment (for storage and freezing) 9 = General purpose box (not included with all models) 10 = Moisture regulatio
Starting up and temperature regulation Important! Only use the appliance when built–in! The temperature regulator is in the refrigerator compartment on the upper right. It is also the ON/OFFswitch. Position „0“ = Refrigeration off Position „1“ = Warmest interior temperature Position „6“ = Coldest interior temperature AEG62 ☞1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 2. Set the required temperature by turning the temperature regulator. The inside light goes on.
Ambient temperature Temperature controller position Approx. 16°C Range about 2 Approx. 25°C Range about 2 Approx. 32°C 2 to 3 Approx. 38°C 1 to 2 3. If you want a higher or lower temperature, turn the temperature regulator to a warmer or cooler setting respectively. Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position"5" to "6") can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass storage shelves or storage racks. The glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartment must always remain in this position so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse.
Interior accessories Moisture regulation (not on all models) On some models, there is an adjustable air grille in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. The opening in the ventilation slots can be steplessly adjusted with a slider. Slider in right position: Ventilation slots opened. Slider in left position: Ventilation slots closed. With the ventilation slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.
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 basket 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.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. • Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. 1. 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. 2. Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment.
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 is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the collector on the compressor, and then evaporated. The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Cleaning and Maintenance").
4. Remove the stopper from the meltwater outlet and place a bowl underneath it to catch the meltwater. Attention! After defrosting, replace the plug in the condensation water drain. Tip: You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a pan with warm water in the freezer compartment and closing the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost. 5. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment ( see "Cleaning and Care" section).
2. Defrost the freezer compartment prior to cleaning (see “Defrosting” section). 3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. 4. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. 5. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. 6.
What to do if ... Correcting Malfunctions A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can rectify yourself using the following instructions. Do not perform any other work on the appliance if the following information does not provide assistance in your specific case. Important! Repairs to refrigerators/freezers may only be performed by competent service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user.
What to do if... Symptom Heavy build up of frost, possibly also on the door seal. The compressor does not start immediately after changing the temperature setting. Water on the floor or on storage shelves. Possible Cause Remedy Door seal is not air tight (possibly after reversing the door). Carefully warm the leaking sections of the door seal with a hair dryer (on a cool setting). At the same time shape the warmed door seal by hand such that it sits correctly. This normal, no error has occurred.
