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 storing of food at low temperature. 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 refrigerator are not permitted for reasons of safety.

• If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for purposes other than the cooling of foods, the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages which may occur.

Prior to initial start–up

• Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstance should a damaged appliance be plugged in. In the event of damage, please contact your supplier.

• Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by authorised service or qualified personnel using a special cable of the same type.

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!

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. 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 spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

• 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 disconnect from the electricity supply.

• When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

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.

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.

The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

Disposal of old Appliances

For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service life - for your new appliance as well.

Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.

Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This ensures that playing children do not lock themselves inside the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations.

Disposal:

• The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.

• The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, must not be damaged.

• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from your local Council or Environmental Health Office.

Remove transport packaging

The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport.

☞

1. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door.

You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit.

2. 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.

The appliance should therefore

– not be exposed to direct sunlight;

– not be installed next to radiators, boilers or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse;

– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.

The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

Climate classification for an ambient temperature of

Prior to Initial Start–Up

☞

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.

Setting “1” means:

Hightest temperature, warmest setting.

AEG62

Setting “6” (end-stop) means:

Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Note: From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently cold for storing food in the fridge.

At a low ambient temperature of around 16°C, setting “1” should be selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25°C, select setting “2”. If you require a lower temperature, select setting “3” or “4”.

Important!

High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the thermostat (position”5” to “6”) can cause the compressor to run continuously.

Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.

The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also

"Defrosting" section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall.

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.

13

14

Switching off the appliance

☞

To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position

"0".

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

☞

1. Remove all refrigerated packages.

2. Switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to position

"0".

3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from 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

Storage shelves

Various glass storage shelves are included with your appliance.

The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:

☞

1. To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.

2. Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.

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.

Variable Inner Door

The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed.

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.

The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manufacturer’s instructions.

Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.

The following are suited for packaging:

– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;

– Plastic containers with lids;

– Special plastic covers with elastic;

– aluminium foil.

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.

The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section

"Cleaning and Care").

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.

This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines:

– 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines.

– 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989

(including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline

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.

• Evaporator

The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled.

The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.

• Compressor

The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.

• Condenser

The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
