Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape. 8 Installation Installation Location The appliance should be installed 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. 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 SN +10 to +32 °C N +16 to +32 °C ST +18 to +38 °C T +18 to +43 °C If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance: – for electric cookers 3 cm; – for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm. If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance. 9 Installation The refrigerator/freezer needs ventilation Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is exhausted upwards along the back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the vent openings. Important! If the appliance is installed under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained. Please check whether, after installing your appliance and especially after reversing the door, the door seal seals tightly. A badly fitting door seal may lead to heavy frosting and a higher power consumption (see also "What to do if ...“). 0 1. Remove the two wall spacers from the appliance accessories pack and insert them into the heat exchanger bars (condenser) located at the top of the rear of the appliance as per the illustration, so that the distance between the back of the appliance and the wall that is required for correct ventilation is ensured. Appliance Alignment 0 1. The appliance must be level. Please compensate for unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front. 10 Installation Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 1 WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. 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. Important The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green Green and Yellow Earth & Yellow Blue Neutral Brown Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the Brown Blue terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: 1. The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to Cord Clamp the terminal marked with the letter "E“ or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. 2. The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal "N“ or coloured black. 3. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked "L“ or coloured red. 4. Upon completion there must be not cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheat. 1 Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely. 11 Reversing The Door The door hinges can be changed from right (as supplied) to left if required to suit the location where the appliance is installed. 1 Warning!

A vaporiser cools the air in the interior space of the appliance, which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a ventilator. This uniformly circulating air-flow provides for a dry climate, minimal temperature fluctuations and minimal temperature differences throughout the appliance's interior space. The moisture in the air condenses as frost on the evaporator. As soon as is necessary, the evaporator defrosts fully automatically. The melted water is drained off outside to the compressor and evaporates as a result of the heat generated there. This means that the interior of the appliance and the stored chilled or frozen foodstuffs always remain free of frost and ice. Manual defrosting is not needed. Control Panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 Temperature control knob for the freezer WARNING OFF button (open door warning) (red) WARNING OFF button (temperature warning) (red) FROSTMATIC button (for rapid freezing in the freezer compartment) (yellow) ON/OFF button (green) Temperature control knob for fridge 15 Prior to Initial Start-Up 1 Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if it was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise the compressor may be damaged. 0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning"). Starting Up and Regulating the Temperature Fridge and freezer sections can each be regulated independently of the other. The control panel is situated behind the fridge door at the top of the fridge section. 0 1. Insert plug into mains socket. Within 20 seconds the electronics carry out a system test and switch the appliance on. The ON/OFF button lights up in green, the interior lighting comes on and the appliance starts working. If the temperature warning signal sounds, this can be switched off by pressing the ALARM OFF button. 3 16 Starting up when the appliance is switched off: Press and hold down the ON/OFF button for three seconds. The ON/OFF button lights up in green, the interior lighting comes on and the appliance starts working. If the temperature warning signal sounds, it can be switched off by pressing the ALARM OFF button. Starting Up and Regulating the Setting the Fridge Temperature 0 1. Open the fridge door. A coin is required to turn the temperature control knob. This makes it more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child safety). Setting “H” = holiday switch Setting “2” = warmest interior temperature Setting “5” = coldest interior temperature 2. Using a coin, set the temperature required for the fridge by turning the temperature control knob. Select a middle position for normal operation. The interior temperature is affected by the ambient temperature, the amount of food in the fridge, and how frequently and for how long the door is opened. 3. Close the fridge door 3 As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on. Setting the Freezer Temperature 0 1. Open the fridge door. A coin is required to turn the temperature control knob. This makes it more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child safety). Setting “1” = warmest interior temperature Setting “5” = coldest interior temperature 2. Using a coin, set the temperature required for the freezer by turning the temperature control knob. Select a middle position for normal operation. 3. Press the FROSTMATIC button. The FROSTMATIC button will be illuminated in yellow and the compressor will operate continuously. 4. To switch off the FROSTMATIC function, press the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow FROSTMATIC button will go off. 5. Wait until the temperature in the freezer compartment has reached -18 °C before storing frozen foods. 3 Where food hygiene is concerned -18 °C should be considered sufficiently cold for storing food in the freezer. 17 Information: The red warning indicator and temperature warning tone will be activated: – when the freezer is started up (if the storage temperature has not yet been reached) – if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm; – if there is a malfunction in the appliance. You can cancel the warning tone with the ALARM OFF button. The warning indicator and warning tone switch off automatically when the temperature in the freezer falls below -10 °C. Such a temperature increase is probably due to: – frequent or extended opening of the door; – storing large quantities of warm food; – high ambient temperature; – a fault in the appliance. FROSTMATIC Button The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. 0 1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The button is illuminated in yellow. The compressor runs continuously. 2. The FROSTMATIC function can be switched off again manually at any time by pressing the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow illumination in the button will go off. If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function after 36 hours. The yellow illumination in the button will go off. 18 “Open Door” Warning When the fridge or freezer doors are open the open door warning button flashes red and a warning tone is sounded. – after approx. 1 minute if the freezer door is open – after approx. 4 minutes if the fridge door is open If you need more time for inserting frozen or chilled foods or moving them around you can switch off the warning tone by pressing the DOOR OPEN button. The button will stop flashing and will be illuminated in red. The warning tone and the red warning indicator switch off when the doors are closed. Temperature Warning The ALARM OFF button flashes in red and a warning tone sounds as soon as the temperature in the freezer rises above -10 °C. 0 1. You can cancel the warning tone with the ALARM OFF button. The button will stop flashing and will be illuminated in red. 3 The warning tone and the red warning indicator switch off automatically when the temperature in the freezer falls below -10 °C. Such a temperature increase is probably due to: – frequent or extended opening of the door; – storing large quantities of warm food; – high ambient temperature; – a fault in the appliance. Attention! If suspicion of partial or complete thawing exists, please check the quality of the foods to determine if they can be used. If the temperature warning stays on for a longer period please contact AEG Service Force. 19 Switching the Appliance Off 0 1. To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. The green illumination in the button will go off. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 0 1. Switch off the appliance by holding down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. The green illumination in the button will go off. 2. Remove the mains plug or switch off. 3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). 4. Leave the doors open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours. Holiday Mode In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approximately between +10 °C and +12 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer a problem. Without the holiday mode leaving the door closed would lead to the accumulation of odours and mould. After emptying and cleaning the appliance, proceed as follows: 0 1. To switch on the holiday mode, turn the temperature control knob for the fridge to position H. Important! Do not store any foodstuffs in the fridge when the holiday mode is operating. The temperature when the holiday position is selected is regulated to between approximately +10 °C and +12 °C. This is too warm for foods. Opening the Freezer Compartment Door If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again. A vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. 20 Interior Accessories Storage Shelves The shelf in the lowest runners above the fruit and vegetable drawer is stopped with plastic corners on the back. It must always remain in this position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh for longer. To remove the stops, the plastic corners must be twisted 90° forwards and to the outside. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 0 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. Bottle Rack Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally. The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles. 0 1. To do this pull the bottle rack for- ward until it can be tilted upwards, then slide the front support into the next level up. 21 Interior Accessories Fruit/Vegetable Drawer (not offered in all models) On some models there is a moisture filter in front of the shelf above the fruit and vegetable compartments. This preserves the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments for longer. FRESH Box The temperature in the FRESH Box is somewhat lower than in the rest of the fridge. It is therefore especially suitable for storing meat, fish and chilled meals. The FRESH Box can be pulled out, by lifting up the front cover of the box. Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Bottle Holder Some models are equipped with a bottle holder in the bottle compartment. This is used to prevent individual bottles from falling over and can be slid sideways. FRUIT Box Berries, for example, can be pre-frozen in the FRUIT Box. Advantage: The berries are not squeezed and maintain their natural form. The frozen berries can then be stored in compartments or drawers packaged in individual portions. 22 Proper Storage The cooling fans ensure an even temperature distribution in the fridge. Foods with different perishability can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur. The temperature on the shelf above the fruit and vegetable drawer is somewhat higher than the fridge temperature set. The example arrangement opposite shows possible ways of storing food. Important! Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance as the foods might freeze. In order to check the temperature in the refrigerator compartment you can carry out the following test yourself: 0 1. Place a cup of water in the centre of the said shelf with a thermometer inside. 2. Leave the fridge door closed overnight and check the temperature first thing in the morning. 3. At this point the temperature should read no more than 5 °C; if it does, you need to adjust the temperature control knob to a colder setting. For further information on keeping food cool and safe a guide published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is available and can be obtained free of charge by contacting: Foodsense, London SE99 7TT. Tel: 0645 556000 Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be covered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or transfer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are suitable for packing: – polyethylene bags; – plastic containers with lids; – special plastic covers with rubber retainers; – aluminium foil. 23 Proper Storage To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer: • Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. • Do not store food uncovered. • Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your freezer as short as possible. • Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. 24 Freezing Warning! • Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18 °C or colder. • Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate. • Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. 0 1. For freezing the maximum capacity press the FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow indicator lights up. 3 The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities of up to 3 kg. 2. 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 goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. 3. Place packaged goods in the drawers. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw. Tips: • The following are suitable for the packaging of frozen goods: – freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; – plastic containers for frozen foods; – extra-thick aluminium foil • The following are suitable for sealing bags and wraps: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. • Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encourages drying of frozen goods. • Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. • Do not fill plastic containers for frozen foods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. 25 Frozen Storage Warning! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18 °C must be reached. • Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. • Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. 2 When possible store frozen goods separately according to type in drawers. Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 1. Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the FRUIT Box or a drawer and allow to freeze. 2. To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under running water for a short time. Warning! Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon-handle or similar object. Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar • The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. • The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content. 26 Hints and Tips Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. • A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer: • Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. • Do not store food uncovered. • Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your freezer as short as possible. • Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. 2 Energy Saving Advice • Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. • Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. • Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer. • Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. 27 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. 1 Warning! • Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts. • The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service. Attention! • Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e. g. – lemon juice or the juice from orange peals; – 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. 3 If the refrigerator only is to be cleaned, press the FROSTMATIC button several hours in advance, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in the freezer compartment for the interruption in service. Do not open the freezer compartment door. 0 1. About 12 hours prior to cleaning push the FROSTMATIC button, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation. Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. 2. Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place. 3. Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse. 4. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). 5. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 6. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. 28 Maintenance and Cleaning 2 Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser beneath the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. 7. After everything is dry place appliance back into service. Replacing the light bulb 1 Warning! Danger of electrical shock! Before replacing the light bulb switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug. Light bulb specifications: 1x Halogen 220-240 V, max. 25 W, socket: E 14 (Osram Halolux T; clear, available from your local Service Force Centre) 0 1. To switch off the appliance press the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds. The green illumination will go off. 2. Unplug from the mains. 3. To change the light bulb, open the plastic cover by pressing the fastening back, then fold downwards. 4. Replace faulty light bulb. 5.

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. ; 32 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. 33 Guarantee Conditions Standard guarantee conditions We, AEG, undertake that if within 12 months of the date of the purchase this AEG appliance or any part thereof is proved to be defective by reason only of faulty workmanship or materials, we will, at our discretion repair or replace the same FREE OF CHARGE for labour, materials or carriage on condition that: • The appliance has been correctly installed and used only on the electricity or gas supply stated on the rating plate. • The appliance has been used for normal domestic purposes only, and in accordance with the manufacturer's operating and maintenance instructions. • The appliance has not been serviced, maintained, repaired, taken apart or tampered with by any person not authorised by us. • All service work under this guarantee must be undertaken by a Service Force Centre.
