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 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 3. Re-install the grid to the base of the appliance by pushing on to the clasps (a) until they click. a a Reversing the door 4 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.
Installation Warning! After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting. 10 13 9 12 11 3 Changing over the freezer compartment door the freezer compartment door a little ☞1.

Description of the appliance View of the appliance ➆ ➀ ➅ ➁ ➄ ➃ ➂ ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃ ➄ ➅ ➆ Butter/cheese compartment Sliding shelf Bottle shelf Vegetable drawers Storage shelves Thermostat Frozen food storage/freezing food, icemaking. Prior to Initial Start–Up ☞ 18 Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Starting up and temperature regulation Important! Only use the appliance when built–in! 1. Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. The temperature control knob is located on the right hand side of the refrigerator compartment. Setting “0” means: Off. 2. Turn the control knob clockwise past “1”. The refrigerating unit is now on and operates automatically.
If this happens, turn the thermostat knob back to a warmer setting (position “3” to “4”). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced. Switching off the appliance switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position ☞ To "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 1. Remove all refrigerated and frozen packages. 2. Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position "0". 3.
Correct storage Variable Storage Box Some models are equipped with a variable storage box which is fitted under a door shelf compartment and can be slid sideways. The variable box can be hung from a storage shelf in the refrigerator compartment: 1. Pull the storage shelf forward until it can be tipped up or down and removed. 2. Hang the retaining bracket on the taper on the storage shelf and slide the storage shelf back into the guides.
Freezing and storing frozen food The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or colder before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen. • Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24 hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. • Allow warm food to cool down before freezing.
Preparation of Ice Cubes the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer ☞1. Fill compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.
Cleaning and Care 3. Remove the stopper from the meltwater outlet and place a bowl underneath it to catch the meltwater. Tip: You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a pan with warm water in the freezer compartment and closing the doors. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost. AEG47 4. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment ( see "Cleaning and Care" section).
Cleaning and Care 3. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or disconnect from the electricity supply. 4.

Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of the green peg (P) in the pack of accessories included with the appliance. P F 7.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources of heat. 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. • Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary. • Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
What to do if ... Symptom Possible Cause The compressor runs continuously. Temperature is set too cold. The food is too warm. Temperature is not properly adjusted. Door was open for an extended period. A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours. The appliance is near a heat source. Interior lighting does not work. Remedy Turn the thermostat knob to a warmer setting temporarily. Please look in the “Initial Start Up” section.
Changing the light bulb Warning! There is a risk of electric shocks! Before changing the light bulb, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the power supply. Light bulb data: 220-240 V, max. 15 W ☞1. To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to position "0". 2. Unplug the mains plug. 3. To change the light bulb, undo the screw. 4. Press the light bulb cover as shown and slide it backwards. 5. Change the defective light bulb. 6. Refit the light bulb cover and the screw. 7.
Regulations, Standards, Guidelines This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), accident prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20) and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE) were observed in the manufacture of this appliance. The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks.
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.
